Great!

They’re very well made, I haven’t tested them out with my period yet and wearing them as an everyday thing 🤣 they fit snug though.

Great for Lighter Days

I usually wear these as a backup for my disc or when my period starts to wind down. They are highly absorbent though and SO comfortable! They breathe so well. I never feel wet or sweaty down there. Great for when you don’t want to fuss with the booster or don’t expect a heavy flow.

This is a comfortable light underwear that still has a substantial capacity to prevent leaks. It's true to size.
