The comfiest period underwear I own

The cotton is everything on these. I don’t get hot and sweaty but they are still absorbent and leak free. Also true to size so a medium was great for me (I’m a size 8 in jeans). Highly recommend.

Works great!

These are great. Totally effective and soft, love the color. The absorbent part is generous in size. My only complaint is that the top elastic waistband is kind of thin, and so it folds over in an awkward way. It’s not a huge deal, but I think a wider top band would help for comfort and smoothness.
