Thinx
4.1
(38)
"For those days, period panties can be a lifesaver. Brands like Thinx or Knix offer options designed for heavy flow."
"So comfy. Totally worth the cost."
"The newest ones I got are incredible!"
"Switching to period panties has been a godsend for me, I don't have regular periods and sometimes it's a very heavy flow."
"The period panties were AWESOME for the like the month-ish where the bleeding was more heavy to light period levels."
"The boxer brief style i LOVE to sleep in. they are so comfortable! ... the boxer ones though? 100/10"
"I wear them every day for this reason exactly. So helpful and a relief - no more leaks or problems."
"I’ve been really happy with Thinx! Admittedly, have never tried another brand."
"Check out the subreddit for period underwear! Lots of good advice."
"I bought think incontinence panties because issues and love them!!! I want the buy more!"

Knix
4.4
(25)
"I really like the Knix period shorts - they're high waisted with a huge absorbent part."
"I switched to some knix undies once my bleeding slowed down, and it was a great decision for me."
"I switched to Knix right after being discharged from the hospital and never used diapers or pads at home."
"I used the super leakproof Knix high rise ones after about 2-3 weeks PP."
"Loved them. They also have a Black Friday sale starting tomorrow so you will be able to save some money."
"Knix leakproof dream shorts are great. Lots of Protection on front, back all the way up to the waist and down the things. Slim and not bulky at all."
"Knix. Pads and undies. Game changer."
"I prefer knix to thinx."
"I have a super heavy flow and I am a big fan of the heavy flow Knix undies."
"Knix are a little pricey but always worth it. Thongs for light flow days, boy shorts for heavy flow/overnights."

Period Panties

(13)
"I wore them and I thought they were great for PP. So much more comfortable than the diapers and made me feel more like myself faster after having the baby. I highly recommend."
"Then I switched to period panties and was so happy to be rid of the bulk and the pad wrinkling and rubbing on things."
"When I used to have my period, my first couple of days were pretty heavy, so I'd do period panties + a light-flow pad + tampon."
"Honestly I got a 5 pack off Amazon and they're great."
"I kicked myself so hard when my bleeding was pretty minimal and I would’ve been soo much more comfortable with period panties."
"After the initial heavy bleeding calmed down I had light bleeding for what seemed like for ever. I was really happy to switch to period panties as I was so sick of pads. My skin was feeling very irritated."
"I transitioned to pad with period panty and it’s been good!"
"Once you know you aren't having unusual bleeding, I think period panties would be great."
"I switched to period parties as soon as I got home."
"I definitely liked the big period panties post vaginal delivery."

"I love the bambody period panties on amazon."
"Yep bambody heavy on amazon I have 6 pairs total. I love them before my fibroid was removed they were a lifesaver."

Period Underwear
3.9
(10)
"These saved me! I was using the large hospital pads for two weeks and my skin was STRUGGLING. After that when the bleeding slowed I bought the period underwear and they helped my skin so so much."
"...just used period underwear and it was way comfier!"
"Loved them. Bought a range of sizes and styles and brought a few to the hospital."
"I love mine, they are so much more comfortable than pads!"
"I love them, never felt soggy or diaper like for me."
"I switched from tampons to discs (with period undies as backup) about 4 years ago and will never go back."
"I quite like them!! I went for the boxer/short type so they are not the smallest of things."
"I've thought about buying period underwear in a cut more comfortable for me but the price has been a deterrent."
"One thing to consider is that reusable items don’t have that super-absorbent polymer inside like disposable ones do and hold less as a result."
"I wouldn't use anything that's reusable. You don't want to risk an infection."
