Nice quality

Comfortable and absorbent. The pant legs tend to ride up on my legs. Not terrible just have to adjust and pull them down a few times in the day.

Amazing!

I've used these for a couple cycles now and I really love the fit and how comfortable they are. They are super easy to clean compared to other brands and are holding up great in the wash

Amazing Quality

I have tried several period underwear companies, and these are hands down the best out there. Super comfy, perfect fit, and very absorbent without being bulky. As someone with endo & chronic pelvic pain, these are a godsend. I can’t wait to buy more!

Great product

I bought those for lighter days towards the end of my period and they are great. Very comfy. I like that I do not have to add a booster nor are there the usual provisions to fit one. Fit very well and absorb very well too. Did not have any problems so far. Can recommend for lighter days.
