Bambody Absorbent Panties, Period Underwear for Women and Teens – All-Day Long – Overnight Protection- Postpartum, Leakproof

Never switching back
AMAZING AMAZING AMAZINGThe pad brand I used got recalled for maggots and I knew I had to switch. I tried these since they were cheaper than many other well known brands and I do not regret it. They are soft, comfy, and very absorbent. I have endometriosis and my flow is heavy heavy, often lasting two weeks. These keep everything contained and I’ve only had a leak-through once or twice which is honestly a miracle for me. They feel like regular underwear and work wonders, I cannot recommend enough.My only complaint would be that they are a little flimsy. They’ve already started to rip in a couple of places, but given that I’m wearing them for 2+ weeks every month, I can forgive that. I’d rather spend 35 dollars every 6 months than 20 bucks every month on pads that leak and make me itch.

Size up for fit! Great for regular flow days
It’s a long review, but stick with me if you 1) are curvy and are worried about finding the right fit or 2) have a flow with super heavy or highly variable days. If you have an athletic or slim body type and light flow, get on with your bad self and thank the period gods for your good fortune… but this review won’t help you a bit.If you’ve got curves, size up (and I mean UP)! I have prominent curves and I’m sure my other curvy girlies can relate to the special hell that is finding a decent underwear fit. When there is more than one number to the left of that decimal? It’s SO much more stressful. Don’t worry, I got you! For reference, I usually wear a M or L depending on brand. That’s US size 8 or 10, waist 29″ or 30″. I have pronounced curves with 10″+ difference between waist & hip measurements (Read: big booty).Sizing with this brand: Size M looks at me and runs. Total no-go with these hips. Ever gotten those refrigerated biscuits in a can? Yeah, it’s that kind of situation. Size L is technically wearable, but still restrictive enough to cause noticeable and unflattering panty lines. If you’re a little more equally distributed and usually wear size M, you’ll probably be fine with a L. For me, Size XL is a comfy fit without any bagging, sagging, or wrinkling. Fits smoothly and can’t be seen under anything with a mid-rise or higher waist.As far as how well they function: These are great for days 3 through the end of my period. If I try to use these on day 1, there will be leak stains around the gusset seams on the outside, but I can wear them for a full work day and they won’t leak through to my pants (or I can use as a backup to a menstrual disc and they will easily handle any leaks). If I try to wear these on day 2, the universe will straight up laugh at me and I will end the day in tears, looking like an unfortunate elevator operator from The Shining. As a backup to another method, it’s iffy. Leaks on day 2 with a menstrual disc or even a super plus tampon that has gone 2 minutes past changing can be downright catastrophic. I only use the Innersy boxers or saalt super absorbency on those days, or supplement with a pad. Those days are penance for sins in a previous life or something. But for medium flow days, or days that start a little heavy and taper off by mid-day, these are perfectly serviceable and comfortable. They don’t make that unnerving noise when I walk that some other period underwear do. They’re cozy soft and forgiving, even if I’m bloated. I love them for lazy days in sweats, for surviving a chilly office on weekdays in the summer, for short walks in the spring, and generally doing every day life stuff despite being on my period and wishing I were at home watching terrible television and eating my body weight in dark chocolate or chex mix. If I have to be more active, they’re fine for a short spurt of exertion here and there, like walking a few city blocks or lifting a few boxes or going up a couple flights of stairs. I wouldn’t want to wear these to the gym or out hiking, but tbh I don’t want to do those things on my period anyway. While the plush softness of this fabric is usually a positive aspect, when combined with sweat it feels a bit saturated and uncomfortable. After an extended period of activity, you’re looking at swamp city and a really unpleasant ride home to peel these suckers off and cry in the shower.BONUS notes: I’ve purchased the lighter color 3-pack and had some durability issues with a pair or two (they literally fell apart after a few washes, but the others held up just fine, so I’m guessing it was a supplier issue and wouldn’t assume an ongoing thing). They will also disintegrate if you accidentally splash bleach in their general vicinity and don’t wash well in warm or hot water. Keep wash water cold, rinse them well when you take them off, and be sure to wash them soon after using. I’ve found these general rules apply with all period underwear in order to keep them in good shape.I also have a couple of pairs of the Bambody with the white waistband – they have held up just fine for the last 5 years! Same absorbency notes for that style, however, it’s not my favorite to reach for since I’ll never be able to avoid the muffin top it gives. This style is far more flattering and the fabric is softer, so if you’re between the two and have curves, this is definitely the style you want.

Comfortable, flattering, soft, get the job done
I really love these underwear. The waistline is nice and forgiving when you’re bloated and crampy, and they’re very soft. They’re comfortable and do the job of holding fluid well. They are more affordable than Knix and they last longer too. They hold up very well in the wash. I truly love these – sometimes I wear them when I don’t have my period just because they’re more flattering to my waistline.

My daughter says these are super comfortable. On heavier days, she mainly wears them overnight along with a pad for extra protection. They’re fine alone on light days, but they do leak through on heavy days, so keep that in mind. They’re really well made, and she often wears them just as regular underwear because they’re that comfortable!

Agréable a porter mais pour un flux léger.

Very big but it’s comfortable and it takes away the anxiety of potentially leaking, which happens even with pads. Definitely worth it for me!
