Goat Union Overnight Period Shorts for Women - Absorbent Period Boyshorts Heavy Flow - Black - Medium

Highly recommend for people of all genders!Fit: I'm 5'7" and 140lb, I usually wear a size M in bottoms. I have the size Medium in these and it fits very comfortably. They are NOT tight on the waist, hips, thighs, or anywhere. I think if I got a Small, they would have been more snug but still not tight.Look: They look like normal black mid-rise or high-rise short spandex shorts. They cover my entire bottom, and there is zero cheek poking out. If you are trans, butch, or gender nonconforming, you could wear these as trunks during your menses, but they're not long enough to be boxer briefs. I just wear them as I would wear black spandex short shorts.Cut/Design: The inner layer has a seam simulating where the leg holes of normal panties would be. This results in an amazing fit and it's my favorite part of these shorts. It's genius. The gusset is the perfect width and everything just sits right. The fit of period panties is important for ensuring no leaks, and these fit great. There are no uncomfortable seams or weird unflattering butt seam like I've heard about some other brands' period panties.Material: Stretchy and comfortable. Like I said, they are not tight in any area of the shorts at all. This is really important to me.Absorbency: They work just as well as brand-name period panties that advertise the same level of absorbency. I use them alone on my 3rd day, where I have medium-light flow, and it takes it like a champ. No leaks at all. (I want to experiment using them on my heaviest day and push them to the breaking point to see when they'll leak, but I just haven't gotten the chance to yet. I'll definitely edit the review if I do, because it sounds like a valuable experiment.)Miscellaneous: Not smelly. Doesn't feel wet when wearing. I'll notice a clot once in a while-- give it a wipe and you're good to go. Doesn't feel like a diaper.Note: I heard about Goat Union from some reviews on Reddit, and decided to give it a try. I do own other, more expensive brands of period panties already (because I literally cry every time I wear a pad because of the discomfort). This is my first time buying period panties from Amazon. I really like these and I want to buy the Goat Union high waisted once my size is available but they haven't had my size in like a really long time lol.

I can't use tampons/cups/discs for medical reasons and have been struggling to find good nighttime options for awhile. Everything I tried was either uncomfortable/no stretch or not enough coverage. These are my favorites so far.Pros:-My periods get pretty heavy and I've used these through the whole night with no issues-It provides coverage on the back too! So many period underwear only cover in crotch which I don't like for nighttime use-They are comfy/stretchy-Even when I'm super bloated, these are comfortable to wear. I was between sizes and went a size up and I'm glad I did for better comfort. The material has a good stretch and doesn't dig into your skin-They are actual boy shorts and come down a little bit on your legs so I don't worry about underwear sliding/leaking at nightsCons:-Like all period underwear, it's hard to tell when your underwear is "full". Since I use for night time only, I just change first thing in the morning and I've never had any issues.-I was originally thinking I would use pads as back up but winged pads would not work with this underwear pads without wings would). I actually found I didn't need a back up though-They do take awhile to line dry. For me I think it's worth it, because they clearly hold liquid very well but if you are planning to wash and reuse the next day then it may not work out for you-Not ideal for day use. If you are looking for underwear for daytime, I wouldn't recommend just because they are thicker-You do get a little bit of that "wet" feeling when they're really "full". Personally I find it more comfortable then pads so I'm willing to put up with itI already bought a second pair and will most likely end up buying more eventually. The price is good for period underwear. If you are looking for something for nighttime use, I would recommend

These fit well. They have full coverage. They have belly support, which sometimes a girl just needs at that time of the month. I have HS, and if you know what that is, I'm sorry, but this is what helped me be able to get through the week with no problems on my skin. That and the hello disc which I highly recommend.

I wasn’t expecting much from these, but so pleasantly surprised! The fabric is insanely comfortable and the cut is surprisingly flattering - I don’t look like I’m wearing a diaper! I think I’m gonna try working out with these to see if they keep me feeling drier. And as others have mentioned, gives me piece of mind sleeping in these.

I can't say enough about how fantastic these period shorts are. I went to bed doubtful and a little worried how they would stand up to the heavy flow I have some nights. Usually I have a hard time sleeping because I'm that paranoid. But I slept so well and woke up feeling completely dry. Honestly, I checked their store to see if they sell regular shorts because these are so comfortable. I may end up wearing them when I'm not on my period - that's how comfortable they are. I followed their size chart and they fit perfectly. Truly the best money I have spent in years.
