Bamboo Viscose Fiber Menstrual Period Leakproof Panties Multi Pack

(Usually a size 10 - 12 UK in underwear and went for the 12 which fit perfectly).After reading previous reviews I feel like I should specify that these pants are not at all sexy (to give you an idea I call them my grandad pants and they have a plastic-y layer in the crotch which rustles a little) they do however do what they are designed to!!! They are designed for use with a tampon or pad in order to protect from leaks, but you could free bleed into them with very light bleeding/ spotting without leaks if you wanted to. If you want discrete underwear you can use without any other sanitary products I would buy Thinx. However, considering the price difference these are still great value - I have 6 pairs of these for less than the price of one pair of Thinx. To make sure they continue to work properly I wash them on the handwash cycle of my machine with Caring Panda detergent and hang dry (do not use any heat on them including hanging them on the radiator as this will ruin the plastic layer).

Like other reviewers who have purchased this underwear, I suffer extremely heavy periods. Living in a house of boys and men and having this uncomfortable issue, it is difficult to retain ones dignity when dashing to the loo after a particularly heavy loss. Not to be indelicate, but early mornings were a nightmare. I usually have a 20 second window in which to reach the bathroom before the flood gates open and I am left in mortification outside the one toilet in our house, because it is occupied by a teenager primping his pimples.To be honest (and I'll admit to being a bit slow on the up take), I didn't realise such underwear existed. I was still very much under the impression that us women had to suffer our lot. It was my husband that urged me to try to find something to save my dignity and I am so glad that I discovered what I call, my bamboo pants.On the strength of reviews I purchased a size 14. My usual size being 12. I sent my order mid evening and was delighted when then arrived early the following day.They fit like a dream and although they have a slight rustle in the hand, once on and acclimatised to my body temperature, they are just like every other piece of underwear. Except better.These do not leak. Not when I'm walking, running, doing yoga, riding my bike or laying down clutching my tummy because it's a particularly bad month. They do not stain. They rinse well too and they are lovely and comfortable to boot.I've seen that some people have said they feel slightly hot or sweaty in them, but speaking for myself I can only say this was not the case for me. I love these pants. After years of suffering and several ruined mattresses (not to mention underwear and clothing) I have found something that makes everything that much easier. I am going to be buying more.

These have saved me. I have horrible heavy periods and frequently leak over my trousers or chairs. I wear these knickers with my normal protection and they have saved embarrassing leaks. Certainly make things more bearable.

When they arrive there was a note on the package saying they must be used with a pad / tampon. This kind of defeats the point of them and means that rather than actual period proof pants all you have are oversized, non fashionable underwear. If you read the full product description (as I did after) it does mention it but it’s not clear when you first see it.

These are the best idea and I love them but why the garish orangey-red and the non-descript grey?! Just because we're menstruating doesn't mean we want to wear hideous undies!!The black pair is perfect but I didn't want to buy 3 packs of 3 just to get more blacks so I'm stuck with the embarrassing colours. They work very well though, the plastic lining is inside the cotton, they rustle slightly when touched but not highly noticeable. Gives peace of mind when sleeping and saves worrying if you tampon or pad leaks which they frequently do on heavy days!Recommended for the product but no the colour selection!! Please do a just black pack!!

Not happy with these. There are days when I am out of the house long hours so I got a pair for some extra security. I usually wear tampons but sometimes they leak and I thought with these I wouldn't have to worry about my clothes getting dirty. Well, I was wrong. They leaked, especially the sides and as luck would have it, I was sitting on a beige leather office chair. I was shocked and so embarrassed to see what I had done but I was at least able to get the blood stain out of the chair without anyone knowing. Since then they have leaked again and again but not to that extent. The middle part is ok but they leak sideways. Also they don't wash well. They have great big stains after the wash but I still wear them until I find a replacement. I really dont want to go back to using pads for extra safety. Comfort wise, they are soft but tent to cause a lot of sweat in the area and often they smell badly because of that. Not pleased at all. Forgot to say that when there is a leak, it feels like I am wearing something really wet so a real cringe moment. At home it's easy to put on my other pair but when I am out I have to suck it up and continue to feel wet until I go back. I am happy I didn't buy more.

I suffer from heavy periods and decided to give it a go together with cloth pads (first time for both of them). I am positively surprised of how well they work! Even if when I leaked from pad, underwear saved my sheets and pants from leakage. These are the granny pants style but they do work great and I guess if we want to feel sexy just wait for your period to be over.

These are great. Wish I'd discovered them sooner! I would have preferred it if there was an option to purchase a set of three in just black, as I'm definitely not keen on the bright red coloured knickers! However, they serve their purpose...and I am very happy with them.
