To ask for your recommendations 're period pants

[rabbitheadlights]

I've only just found out these even exist, I've suffered with extremely heavy periods for a long time. These could change my life truly! If they are any good? Any recommendations?

Modibodi definitely the best we’ve found. Not cheap but you get what you pay for.

Thinx work for me - either as a backup for heavy days or as an alternative to liners either end of the period. They're really comfortable.

I'd love to try them but they don't seem to come in larger sizes (currently a size 24)

I have tulip and cheeky wipes ones and both are fine. I really like the cheeky wipes but could do with a size larger than their largest really.

I hadn't considered that they might not do my size ... How big do they go?

I've been looking on Amazon and all the ones I can find say they need to be worn with pads, which sort of defeats the object of what I was looking for.

I have a set from cheeky wipes and I've never bled through them- they're really good in that sense. I don't wear towels with them or anything else for extra protection.They feel a bit crinkly though and really I think modibodi is probably worth the extra money. I was just a student at the time so couldn't but overall they've saved me a fortune in tampons!

I have Flux but be careful as their sizing between styles varies hugely.

Modibody are amazing!

There are also some others making them - have a look cor Noobynoo on facebook

Do you change them during the day? If so, where do you then put them if you’re at work?

Loveluna or modibodi are very good. I don't use on own often tho - use as a backup to cup on heavier days or on end/light day of period.
No complaints with either brand

I like the Cheeky Wipes ones

I am following this with interest. I too noticed that manufacturers all seem to recommend using with pads or tampons aswell so wondered if there was really any point to them. Please could someone who knows answer? Do they last all day? Can they go in the washing machine? Can they just be worn on their own? Are they comfy? Sorry for hijacking slightly, OP, and thank you

My DD has the cheaper period pants from Amazon. They work well as a backup against leaks. You wouldn't wear them on their own.

I wish I could afford these 😥

I've got loads of the INNERSY period pants from Amazon, good value and really good quality.

I use them with a menstrual cup days 1-2/3 and then on their own days 3-5 of my period.

Modibodi are fantastic.
My daughter started her periods when she was just 10 years old and has worn then ever since (now 13). She has quite heavy periods and never leaks through them and they've allowed her just to be a normal kid. She wears the same pair all day, never any need to change them. They are AMAZING!
