Absolutely fabulous: Fit, absorbency, and comfort
I've got a lot of sensory issues and sensitivities and I've never been happy with my menstrual products. They made cycle time more stressful: cups were sometimes painful and I could feel the stem. Pads were bulky and uncomfortable (and wasteful), and don't even get me started on tampons.
These period underwear are exactly what I was looking for, and I'm so glad you make them. I've done two cycles with them now.
Here's a summary of what might be helpful to you:
- Material is silky and comfy! (But not slidey like silk, they very much stay in place.) I have skin reactions to lots of stuff, and no problem with the material used for the sides/barriers.
- I got the 3.0, and the gusset is just a bit thicker than my normal everyday pairs.
- For my ND/sensation sensitive friends: My brain seems to react to anything different and uncomfy, to the point that I can't tolerate wearing many different items, and I barely notice these. (Everyone's brain is different, of course!)
- Can wear them with leggings and the pantylines are barely there, or not there at all, depending on thickness and fit of legging.
- Readily absorbs flow, no leaks here.
- Easy to hand wash. (I just keep laundry detergent in the shower and wash them as instructed in there, convenient as that's usually when I'd take them off anyways.)
- As they let you know on the page description, they are SNUG when you first purchase them. They were snug enough when they arrived I was quite afraid that I couldn't wear them, even though I was well within the recommended size measurements. My brain couldn't tolerate having to "break them in", so I just stretched the leg holes by hand for a few minutes before wearing them. (They don't recommend this, but for my fellow sensory peeps, it's good to know it's an option! )
Overall, I'm thrilled with this purchase! They fulfill my need for something that is barely noticeable, comfortable, and easy to care for. Thanks so much!
