Bamboo Viscose Brief Menstrual Leakproof Panties Multi Pack US Size XXS-3XL/10

I have been wanting to try "period panties" for years because I have been trying to simplify my life to include mainly things that are practical for me and reduce my waste. I waited a couple cycles of use before writing this review. These panties are full coverage for me. For reference, I wear a size 6 in Old Navy and size 8-10 in everything else. I have lots of butt and thighs. I ordered the XL size in these panties and they are not tight and do not give me wedgies throughout the day. They come up about midrise for me and I'm slightly overweight with mom pooch from multiple kids. The actual panties are soft to touch and soft against the skin. The bamboo protection area comes up about a few inches from the top hem in the front and goes all the way up to the top hem of the panties in the back. There is a slight swishing noise at first (like a tiny windbreaker) but it seems to go away after a couple of washes. Since "heavy" is subjective, I will just explain my usage of pads and these panties. I typically use the "super" and "long" pads with "wings" when "Aunt Flo" visits. I used to change them every 2-3 hours and one change overnight for the first two days. Accidents on the sides, the front or the back happened about once at the beginning of every cycle if i didn't place the pad just right. Then my flow would decrease for the rest of the time.I tried these panties with no pads to see how effective they are. For the first two days, I changed them every 3-4 hours when I used the restroom and one change overnight. After that, I did not have to change them as often. I did, though, to be sanitary. Honestly, throughout my cycle they could have stayed on longer but I did not want to put them back on after using the restroom. Also, I have had no accidents or leaks when using these panties.I rinse them in the sink in cold water and I keep a bottle of lavender castile soap near the sink to use for handwashing them. I also keep a spray bottle with hydrogen peroxide for first aid and it helps to keep these clean. For public restroom use, a woman could purchase those wet bags for cloth diapers or swimwear and throw the used panties in there to rinse out in the privacy of her home. Rinsing is super easy, just need to keep rubbing together under cold water until the water is clear. Sometimes a soak is necessary before scrubbing. I have handwashed and hang dried. I have handwashed and put into the dryer. And I have also just rinsed, sprayed with peroxide and thrown them in with my regular dark clothes in the regular washer and dryer. None of the processes have changed the performance of these panties. And all have resulted in the panties staying soft against the skin. I have purchased another pack of these so that I don't have to handwash as often. I don't plan to go back to sanitary napkins ever again! I'm very satisfied with this purchase. Very practical. Such a small investment for a huge return in my life!

These are not perfect, but in my opinion, the pros definitely outweigh the cons and you can't really beat the value.Pros: These panties completely changed the way I feel during that time of the month. They feel like I'm wearing regular underwear, so I FINALLY don't have to walk around with a pad in between my legs all day. My periods are super heavy, so pad and tampon are a must. With these, I only have to wear a tampon. My first time wearing them, I felt dry for hours, went to the bathroom and I was shocked to see that the tampon basically only absorbed half of what wanted to come out. The whole party was red, but it had absorbed and I never even noticed it. It never leaked. I am totally comfortable in these! Paired with Flex or a cup, these are life changers! I feel like a normal person. Oh, and they don't smell. Even when you sweat... somehow they keep the smell from escaping when you're wearing them. Complete life changers. I will never go back to pads.Cons: They are pretty noisy with leggings. I pretty much only wear leggings and these have a fairly noticeable rubbing sound when you walk. Sounds like when you wear thick panty hose. But really, no will know what it's from, so it doesn't bother me too much. Also, I have a big butt.. but these are a little loose in the butt area for some reason (not usually a problem that I have). It hasn't affected their protection against leaks, but o just feel like I gave to pull them down a good bit.All in all, not much to complain about. I love them. I am hooked on period panties now.UPDATE:(TMI alert)For reasons that are irrelevant, I ended up having to wear a pair of these all day with no other source of protection. Not a super heavy flow, but definitely not light, which is not what these are supposed to be made for. However, they worked extremely well. No leaks. In fact, unlike pads, where it runs down and then soaks in, it soaks in right away in these, so it doesn't even look (or feel) like much at all--even though I knew it was--and it never even got close to the sides of the underwear. It soaked up quickly and somehow kept me feeling dry. 1 pair, 8 hours. I felt like I was wearing regular underwear and had no problems. I have no earthly idea how these thin panties can do that. It didn't seem possible. Like I said, not a light flow, but they did, and I was amazed. So there you have it.I HIGHLY recommend these.

The media could not be loaded.  I'm 66 years-old and have occasional minor incontinence. It's enough to worry me if I'm out for awhile shopping or running errands. I'm hit suddenly with the urge, followed by an uncontrollable trickle if I'm not careful. These fit pretty well, but are not sexy. They come over my hips and are just a little tight around the waist and legs, but not uncomfortable. I guess that's necessary if you use them for period protection. I dumped a tablespoon of water in the inside to see what would happen. Some did leak at the elastic, but most stayed in the very waterproof liner. I'd say these are great for light leakage, but adult diapers would be better for more severe incontinence. I weigh 125, am 5'5" and usually wear a size 4 or 6 in pants. I bought a medium and that seems appropriate.

Me encanta que ya puedo dormir sin preocupación de que me ocurran accidentes si es que hay algún escurrimiento qué mi toalla deja escapar, mi flujo es muy abundante y uso la pantaleta en conjunto con el uso de toalla.

Très déçue, l'annonce n'est pas en ligne avec le produit

Bonne tenue à la machine à laver, très résistantes, pratiques et légères. Achetées pour les premières règles d'une adolescente et très satisfaite. Achetées depuis plusieurs années font très bien le job. J'étais septique, je suis conquise et après avoir testé d'autres marques, je reviens vers celle-ci.

La vestibilità è troppo larga, ma così comunque si possono adattare, penso che almeno 1 taglia in meno vada bene.Proteggono in modo efficace e nel lavaggio in lavatrice non si rovinano

Ottimo prodotto, ma ho esagerato con le taglie....le devo restituire perchè troppo grandi, sembrano taglie italiane pur essendo un (ottimo!) prodotto cinese. Molto morbide e confortevoli, tessuto naturale ed elastici non rigidi.Le ricomprerò in taglia esatta, consigliatissime
