Hanes Women's Hipster Panties (Pack of 3)

Goodbye disgusting pads and tampons! These babies are IT. They don’t fit like something a sexy model would wear but I’m not a model, they’re comfy enough. I’ve had these a while and unfortunately they keep getting thrown in the dryer by my husband so a bit of the elastic is starting to fray (just a little, these should be line dried) but for the amount of months I’ve had & used these they’re great.Flow: I honestly don’t care if you judge me - I only got 3 pairs of these (poverty) & I lived in a house with 4 adults & 2 kids so I had to do what I had to do. This may be TMI but if you don’t want to hear about the actual period undies experience don’t read the rest. On heavy days I can only wear them for a day. A couple of times I’ve bled through a tiny bit during particularly brutal days so if you’re going to the workplace every day or something bring a backup pair just in case. On medium flow days, sometimes I’ll try sleeping through the night in them to carry to next day & this doesn’t always go well. In light flow days I can wear them for 2 days but that’s literally the max.Leakage: You will start to be able to feel the wetness on the outside of the panty if you check while you’re in the bathroom. If you’re bleeding particularly hard you may smell the coppery tinny smell of blood but it’s not like you walk around stinking, the smell stays contained. Sometimes it can come out the sides by your inner thighs too…Seriously though, for the most part, these things have you covered. They’re comfy, they are way less bad for the environment and your body than pads or tampons & I cannot recommend these enough. Even if you just deal with minor incontinence these are massively helpful. If you can & your flow is a 5-7 day thing get 2 packs.Love these. If I didn’t think they were helpful I wouldn’t put my undies on display for all of Amazon to see. It’s embarrassing & I did it anyway, so you are welcome.

It is uncomfortable and the padding shows under the legging

I loooove these for heavy period days when I don’t trust my tampons. They are also so great for the end of my period to just wear. They are comfortable and discreet. I don’t understand how well they absorb so much blood while being so thin. I find them very comfortable and sometimes I wear them on days I’m not even on my period because they never give me wedgies hahaha

I bought 2 sizes up and still found these a little tight and uncomfortable. The seams really dig into my thighs. For reference I’m a size 6 130lbs

They seem to run a little small compared to the other style of Hanes period underwear that I’ve bought. Consider going up a size if you’re at the edge of a size. I’ve forgotten to give them VIP treatment in the wash (and sent them through the dryer) more often than I’d like to admit, and they’ve been fine.
