These are the most comfortable undies I've ever had. I do have some boost undies but for moderate or light days these can't be beat. I need to buy more so I have some just for everyday... I hope they come back in baby blue

Absolute BEST Period Underwear That You Can Feel Good About!

This underwear is fantastic for those wanting to switch to a more sustainable form of menstrual wear! Having heard about this company on a recommendation from the Sierra Club, I know the material is sustainable, free of PFAS and toxic chemicals, and comes from a reliable and eco-conscious company. The underwear itself also lives up to its promises! The quality is in every stitch and thread of material. I feel so comfortable and protected when I wear these. You can barely tell you’re wearing period underwear. They fit well too and the sizing chart works like a charm. The fabric is SO soft! I don’t get sweaty or feel sticky when I wear these either; they wick away the blood and sweat like magic! I’ve worn them on my heaviest days and had absolutely no issues. I don’t think I’ve even come close to the capacity either. The waistband has the potential to dig in if you’ve got a FUPA like I do but it only bothers me on the first couple days of my period when my stomach is sensitive and I’m bloated. I can usually adjust it so that it sits on my hips and it fixes the issue. The legs do not dig in at all though. Overall, such an amazing product, I only wish I had found them sooner!

The most comfortable panty I have

I love the fabric and cut of this panty. I have a belly and it covers it and still looks cute. Knowing I have wetness protection and a good fitting panty that isnt releasing chemicals into my body is a great feeling.

Soft and thin breathable fabric. Much more comfortable for sensory issues than other brands. Will buy again! Absorbency good for light-medium flow.
