I Sized Down =)

I chose size XS, even though Aisle measures me size Small (28 waist 38 hip, 130 lb 5'6" size 2-4). I am glad I sized down to XS because it feels stable and wont slide around while I sleep. Also, Ive read the waistband stretches out a bit over time, so I will end up with a perfect fit. Basically, the waistband and the lower leg bottom rim are a bit more snug, the midsection fabric area is looser which is where I wanted the tighter fit stability. I feel happy and confident with the fit, even though it looks muffin top in the photos, haha. Its super comfy =) Also, I was SO pleased the back waist seam is carefully aligned on both pair, as not to cut or overlap the logo wording! Quality product and money I will happily spend again. Silly but that is important to me.

Have not used them during my cycle, with my new menstural disc yet, but as I am 47 in perimenopause, my irratic flow being spotty with bursts of heavier flow, this new system should work so much better than dry tampons or soaked panty liners. Period panties takes the guess work out of irratic flow cycles. Thank you Canada =)

Best Way to get through the Worst Days

Love these boxers so much. Never once leaked, super comfortable, and allow me full range of motion with zero issues. I wear them on my heaviest days *as a little treat*

Best nighttime period boxers

I cannot say enough about these boxers. They are PERFECT for nighttime wear, especially if you have heavy flow. The protection they provide is incomparable. No pad will provide you the same protection and reliability. Love love love this boxer and the company that makes them. You rock.

Comfortable and absorbent

Compared to the boost boxer, I love that these have a little less bulk so I feel confident wearing them out and about but still with no fears of leakage. I can wear these all day or overnight on my moderate to light flow days. The fit is very comfortable and secure!
