Hanes Women's Comfort, Period. Underwear, Bikini Period Underwear, Super Leaks Period Underwear, 3-pack

Buy these! You will not regret it! Absolutely NO leaking and super comfy! I can't go back to pads and regular undies. The only con: washing them is not the greatest, I just rinsed them in the shower with a little laundry detergent and hang to dry or dry on extra low.

EDIT: Just updating because I originally gave 4 stars for the material discrepancy but I love them so much I had to come back 8 months later and give 5 stars. I bought another pack as I prefer them to my other period underwear. I haven't had any long term issues (holding up great with monthly use) and noticed that they do really well when I rinse after using, spray the gusset with hypochlorous acid to kill germs, hang to dry and then throw them in the wash as usual. ORIGINAL: I’m new to period underwear (yes late to the game, I know) so in all fairness I don’t have anything else to compare these to. But they are WONDERFUL so far, and I’ve worn them for a few cycles. Non-bulky but the gusset goes pretty far up the back so I had no sleep leaks. Very soft and versatile, and the band doesn’t press into my belly or anything like that. Wore these on my heaviest flow day successfully, with small shorts on. Amazing! No leaks all day when I’d normally soak through a tampon in a couple hours. These are the best thing to happen to my period in a long time. I gave 4 stars bc it doesn’t say this in the description, but even though the panty itself is a cotto- poly blend, the gusset is 100% polyester according to the box (see photo). I likely wouldn’t have bought them had I read that on Amazon. However as someone who typically wears 100% cotton down there, I have not had any breathability issues with these so far, like yeast infections. But I thought that information about the gusset should be available to potential buyers. Love the fit, the look and the absorbability, and didnt notice any rogue odors (obviously changing them at least every 12 hrs). So easy to clean too…just rinse under cold water after use until it runs clear, then machine wash cold. I hang mine to dry for longevity but I do think you can put them in the dryer.

I only use these as backup with pads and tampons so I can't attest to true absorbency. They're relatively comfortable and true to size, though it's my first pair of period underwear so I have no frame of reference. They are thick, especially in the back and the seam across the bum is definitely noticeable if you're wearing anything thin; feels kind of diaper-ish. My biggest complaint is the absorbent section stopping mid bum. I wish it went higher up the back since I mostly use them to sleep in (iykyk). I probably wouldn't repurchase for that reason but for trying out period underwear and the price I think it's worth it.

Bulky in the crotch and flimsy waistband.

I bought these over a year ago, I love them. I sized up, and I’m glad I did. They’re tight enough that they’re comfy but not too tight that bloating is a problem. I did a lot of research and although there’s no immediate research on hanes using any PFAS materials there’s nothing online indicating they do! 10/10 definitely recommend. I wash them all in the washer together and then hang them dry they’ve lasted me many cycles I’m very pleased.
