@Shaambaalaa they are for sale in the UK now on the Uniqlo website, I looked earlier. They also have briefs style which is what I'd buy if I do decide to buy any, I prefer a higher leg.

1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I used them as backup with a tampon on first couple of days of my cycle, then on their own for the other days when I had a lighter flow

2. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

The ‘pad’ area is large and extend right up the back of the shorts. That was reassuring!

3. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Go for it, it’s an investment but they will pay for themselves after a while and it is better for the environment.

4. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

I thought they performed well, they were absorbent. I will definitely continues to use and will probably buy a few more pairs.

I am at that age now ( peri) where I'm having longer and much heavier periods , although still regular. I use the biggest tampons and a towel at least three days out of 7 ( tried cups , couldn't get used to them ) these shorts meany I could do without the sanitary towel . The shorts where comfortable, felt like usual underwear , I would recommend these as they felt more like " normal " underwear than the other period shorts I wear.

I will continue to use these as a back up , for those on lighter periods it would be ideal as alternative for sanitary protection but that's just not a option for me ( and wouldn't be for any period pants I use )

  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I used them on a couple of days and nights through my cycle, as I had to wash them in between uses. They're comfortable and absorbent, and great for avoiding the noisy changing of sanitary towels and nosy questions from my five year old, as their colour (black) didn't make it obvious that I was on my period.

I used them with tampons on my heaviest day and on their own on the other days and nights.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I liked how comfortable they are, though they do come up very high! They seemed very absorbent, and I liked how high the absorbent area came up at the back, something that is always a miss with sanitary towels.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I would suggest to size up (I did this) because Uniqlo's sizing errs on the smaller size. I would also say to definitely get black, I wouldn't have liked any of the other colours.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

I thought they were great, though they sometimes had a funny strong smell. Perhaps I need to soak them before chucking them in the machine? Obviously that's a consideration in terms of how many pairs I would need to get through a cycle.

Yes I will use them again for sure, but I wouldn't buy any more at their current pricing structure. As I explained in the survey, it would take a long while for them to pay for themselves in uses vs the cost (monetary, not environmental) of disposable sanpro, and it's unclear how long they would last before beginning to degrade.

. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I thought I would use them as my only form of sanitary protection which worked great on the first day - unfortunately not so on the second and third when extra protection was needed due to leaking. Lighter days they work fantastically by themselves. They would fit into my life really well now I know the best way to use them

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

They looked very large but in fact fit perfectly and were very comfortable.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Buy more than 2 pairs, the constant wash and wear is quite a hassle.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

They performed great on light days but extra protection is needed on heavier days. I will definitely continue to use them.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 20/03/2022 17:06

I like the look and feel of the shorts. They are very thin - much thinner than other brands of period pants I use, but with similar absorbency as my heavy flow ones from elsewhere. The instructions on the pack are good and clear, though I think the packaging is excessively plastic.

I tend to have 2 days very very heavy flow (fully using up 7-8 thick reusable pads), 2 days medium (not fully using up 3-4 thick reusable pads), 2-3 days light - either one pad or one pair of period pants for the whole day.

I wore the shorts on a medium day and went through two pairs and another of my other brand pairs. Very impressed with the absorbency for the thinness of them.

I washed and dried them and again impressed that they were dry and ready to wear again by the end of the same days I washed them - much quicker drying than my other ones.

They have lasted a whole day on my lighter days and they are very comfy - I largely forget I'm wearing them.

I do find that the waistband and legs are too tight and while not uncomfortable they do create very very visible pantyline and waistline through clothes. Could not wear them under anything tight at all. I am a 10-12 and got a size M. The overall size was right, just the openings a bit too inflexible.

I will definitely continue to wear them, and would recommend them to others.

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 20/03/2022 17:09

Oh - forgot to say, the anti-microbial silver stuff really seems to work. Smell is pretty much unnoticeable in these shorts as compared to the pants I have from another brand. I love that aspect.

StillNoFuckingEyeDeer · 20/03/2022 19:29
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?
I used them on their own when I had my period. I don't have heavy period so I felt fairly confident using them alone. I'm not sure how confident I'd feel if I had a heavy flow.
  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
The material was comfortable to wear and they washed and dried easily.
  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
They are very high waisted and not as snug fitting as I expected them to be.
  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?
I will. I might even buy more. I hate the dirty brown colour but they performed very well. I'd prefer a low -rise short, but as functional underwear they were very good.
Pixie2015 · 20/03/2022 20:33
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

Used alongside tampons on heavy days (prev would have worn a pad) used alone at end of period. Also used during running instead of incontinence liner and was safe replacement.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Very comfortable- padding soft

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Try them for yourself - very comfortable

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

I will definitely continue to use and would like to try other colours

Icaru · 20/03/2022 20:45
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

Used them on lighter flow day. Meant I could forget about my period more or less after the first couple of days.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Smooth lines under clothing, comfortable, secure. Size I picked fit exactly.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Like others said, size up. I'm a size 12 with an apple tummy and slim hips/butt and a large fit fine.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

Not as good as my modibodi ones, but I'll use them for lighter days. Performance was fine, but would prefer to have a thicker lace band at the top vs the thin elastic, as it feels a bit like shapewear not the most comfortable with period bloat.

Someaddedsugar · 21/03/2022 20:29
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

This is the first time I've tried reusable sanitary products and I thought they were great. I used them on their own when my flow was light at the start and end of my period, and with other sanpro at the middle as I was a bit concerned they might not be suitable for a heavier flow.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Loved the style and the fit. Also loved the sense of using something reusable that wouldn't be disposed off to landfill. I appreciate they'll need to be binned at some point.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Not advice as such but more just the message to give it a try!

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

They were great, and yes I will. I'm hoping to purchase additional pairs later in the month too!

Justmuddlingalong · 21/03/2022 20:38

I received the wrong size so gave them to a friend to use, these are her answers.

  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle ?

These were far better than I'd expected. Used for the 4 days of my period and they suit my lifestyle perfectly.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

The fit was great, as was the comfort and absorbancy. Washing and drying was easy and meant that the 2 pairs were enough.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I'm an 8 and the small fitted fine. Buy the size you are because the leg holes are quite neat and could be uncomfortable if you don't.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

I used no other protection even on my heavier days, but I wasn't out and about much in case they weren't absorbant enough. They were and I'll use them alone in future.

Heartbeats0708 · 21/03/2022 21:05

1.How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

Used alone, my flow isn't super heavy and I'd usually use tampons for the first couple of days then sanitary towels. They fitted in fine,though I need a couple more pairs to use them for a full cycle.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
Comfortable to wear and the fact that they're full shorts made them feel secure and helped my bloated feeling!
  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Give them a try, if not for your whole cycle then definitely the first couple of days and nights because they're so comfortable and safe from leaks.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

They were much more absorbent than I expected and because the absorbent pad extends right to the back, it protected against night time leaks so well. I'll continue to use them for evenings and would be interested in a smaller shaped pair for daytime use.

pigaletta · 21/03/2022 21:07
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I used the shorts throughout my period - on the first few days as a backup for menstrual cup and later as sole protection. They will fit well with my lifestyle as I have quite heavy periods and since having my first child last year have struggled with the sheer amount of time it takes to change pads etc - those quick trips to the loo need to be quicker than ever with a baby needing my full attention. I know when using the shorts that I won’t leak which is super important.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Prior to this I hadn’t used sanitary underwear and I was really impressed. The fabric was thick and protective but not uncomfortable or obvious. I felt really secure when wearing and never experienced any leaking even at the heaviest stage. They washed easily and dried well.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I’d say if you were on the fence like I was, go for it. I was really impressed and my favourite part is that I was able for the first time to have a period that was not only free from single use products but I also always felt completely confident that there would be no leaking. I’ve used menstrual cups for the past six years but could never be fully secure on heavier days or at night so relied on sanitary towels as backup. The shorts are perfect for replacing these.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

I had high hopes and was not disappointed. I’ll definitely continue to use the shorts and would definitely consider purchasing them in future as more pairs would be great.

Heartbeats0708 · 21/03/2022 21:07

cycle period obviously. It's been a day.

sylv165 · 22/03/2022 11:51
  1. I used the shorts as a back up on day 2 (usually my heaviest day) and in their own on day 3 when my flow is slightly lighter. I thought they were great. I felt quite confident that they wouldn’t leak and they didn’t feel obvious under my clothes. You do have to soak them before washing but it wasn’t a massive deal. They fit into my lifestyle very easily.
  1. I really liked the fact that they were surprisingly thin, yet still absorbent. I usually wear reusable pads but find them quite bulky and uncomfortable so these were much more pleasant to wear.
  1. I agree with pps who mention the sizing. I ordered my size and they did fit, but I would be inclined to size up next time as the waistband felt a bit tight as I was a bit bloated. But definitely recommend that people give them a try, I am a complete convert!
  1. I will definitely continue to use them, and will probably buy some more.
Sqinky · 22/03/2022 12:00
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test?
I used these during my lighter days (day 1/4/5) but avoided my heavy days (day2/3) as I didn't really trust them to hold up and issues would have been inconvenient. I will try them on heavier days when I'm in a suitable situation to.

What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?
I honestly love how comfortable they are with regards to not having to feel like you're wearing any sanitary items.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
The grey colour, the material, the absorbance of them on lighter days, the convenience of them.
  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
I would absolutely give them a go, I would also recommend going up a size. I ordered XL and I'm a size 12. The legs are pretty tight (I have a big bum so this might be why).
  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?
I will absolutely keep using these, I need to check the absorption on heavier days as I didn't trust them this week but on my lighter days these performed super well. Hopefully nicer designs and knicker styles will be introduced - smaller lower cut designs would be brill

  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test?
What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I used one pair on the first night (light and then the sudden excitingly heavy flow); used with my usual ‘night’ pad.

I used the other pair on the second day (very heavy flow); used with my usual ‘night’ pad. Lot of sitting and moving around on this day.

Having these to use at these times was brilliant as they stopped leaks and gave me a real sense of security.

The night-time heavy flow normally has me jumping out of bed every couple of hours, either as it’s leaking or could be about to, and normally it leaks out the front and also up/out the back, onto undersheets/duvet covers/the duvet.

I slept a bit better as I felt much more secure. Nothing leaked and I wasn’t changing pyjama trousers or scrubbing sheets at 4am!

I also hate having to go out for the day on the heavy day and normally wear several layers in case of leaks. I didn’t wear the layers on this day, and still no leaks! A bit less ‘going to check’ as well as I felt more ‘locked in’.

I didn’t wash and reuse them in time for latter days.

I was surprised they could be put in a washing machine and kept checking the packet/the shorts!
I don’t do many delicate washes and had nothing else to go in; it wouldn’t have been environmentally friendly.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
Mine were black (wouldn’t have liked the pink ones so much). They fitted perfectly. Yes they are huge, but so are my usual period pants. These are satin smooth and big enough to hold my stomach in a bit too, making me feel sleeker and less of a sack than I normally do (even with huge pads in). They felt nice to be wearing and worked great under clothes.

I was reassured to see how big the pad was (to the front and practically all over the back), and they were a lovely secure fit. I felt a lot more confident sleeping and moving!

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Might take a moment to fit in with your current routines (eg when you do your washing).
(If you use without a pad, you have to rinse first before putting in a washing machine, and they want a no spin etc wash).
Have spare knickers/pads with you as you try them out, just in case.
They can be used alone or with a pad (packet says this), so it’s determining when they will be of most use.
If you want to use with pads, you’d probably need pads with wings (rather than without) (packet does say this) (I’m not sure a non-wings one would stay on due to the fit of the shorts).
Measure carefully – I’m presume you can’t return them if the size is wrong.

Definitely give them a go though – I’m glad I did.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed?
Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

Great to have an opportunity to test them; I wouldn’t normally be able to spend out that much money on something new in case it doesn’t work.

Uniqlo; are there plastic strips on the gusset (can’t remember!), ie so you can return if don’t fit?

Thoughts on how performed; as Q1. In summary; having these to use at these heavy times was brilliant as they stopped leaks and gave me a real sense of security.

I haven’t washed yet so will be curious to see how they wash.
Uniqlo; the fact they need a no-spin wash etc is only printed inside the shorts, not on the packet: could this be added? Packet says re rinsing first and in a laundry net, but not the temperate/the wash-cycle symbol.

I will definitely keep using them on the heavy day/night; brilliant result!

I am curious to see what using them without a pad is like on lighter days.
However;
I am not sure if will use them during the rest of my period.

I normally like panty liners in knickers so would I like to wear the same pair of pants all day? I might try it though!

Obviously some people use these to be more environmentally friendly (to save disposable pads). However the washing in different loads (unless you had 5-6 or washed other things on a delicate cycle) would outweigh this a bit. I’d have to do a rare delicate wash and then do another wash a couple of days later.
(I will however be able to wash less clothes layers and sheets!)

I’d like to save money on sanitary towels so again, might try without pads on lighter days.

If I wasn’t 47 (and at this point, who knows what period will come and when!!), I would invest in some more so could use them all week and wash all at the end.

DurhamDurham · 23/03/2022 16:50
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I used the shorts during my lighter days or when I thought I might be due on, I'm peri menopausal so my periods are unpredictable and so I can only go on how I feel with regards to emotions, bloating etc.
I though they were handy to have, I'll definitely carry on using them. They serve a purpose but I'll still need to but other sanitary protection as couldn't totally rely on the shorts.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I liked the feel of the shorts, they fit well. I'm a size ten and the small size fit perfectly. I didn't like them when they arrived, they were creased and has weird stains on them that looked like water marks so I didn't have high hopes. However I tried them and now like them. They really do work.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I've mentioned the shorts to some family and friends and it appears option is divided. Some people were curious while others said they sounded gross. My main advice would be to give them a go, they're so comfortable and did work. Useful for lighter days or when you're just not sure if your period is totally finished.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

The shorts worked well, I did feel dubious at first and only wore them while in the house but ventured out on day two. Great for lighter days, wouldn't totally rely on them as my periods can be fairly heavy. Useful to have in and they were comfortable and fit well.
I'll carry on using them, pleased that I have them now.

Thank you for the opportunity to try them, it's much appreciated.

  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I used them instead of my usual pads. I have tried some different sanitary pants before and I much preferred these, they were thin and comfortable. I had covid at the time so wasn’t as active as I normally am but I didn’t have any leaks.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I liked the material and the feel of them. Another brand I own feel very ‘thick’ where the absorbent part is but these weren’t. They absorbed really well, kept me dry and there was no odour.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I rinsed in cold water until they ran clean and then threw in the machine (no softener) and air dried.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

I really liked them so much so I went on and ordered two more pairs, I’ll definitely continue to use them. Thank you for the opportunity to test.

  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

My daughter used them for her dance classes as she feels so self conscious on period days in dance wear. I honk they are ideal for this.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

She liked that she could relax more whilst wearing them also the fit was really good. The material was nice too not irritating at all.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

Give them a go! It’s so much better to have the confidence that you won’t have that horrible ’leaking’ feeling.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

Definitely- will purchase more but in black as the brown colour didn’t impress much . I wish they had been around years ago.

Itsalwayssunny · 23/03/2022 19:22
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

I struggle with regular San Pro so I've been looking at reusable methods. I used the shorts on day 2 of my cycle which is the heaviest. I found that they felt wet and I got a bit achy from feeling damp. I lasted in them 4 hours before they leaked so not a great experience.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

They were comfy to wear.

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

These shorts didn't work for me. It's a lot of money for something that doesn't work.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

I didn't get on with the shorts at all, they didn't seem to absorb very well and as a result I found them quite uncomfortable. They also leaked. I don't think I would use them again.

yellowandgrey · 23/03/2022 19:25
  1. How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?
I used them at night time. I would have used them during the day but I was a bit concerned about VPL, especially at the gym. Perhaps different underwear styles would be good but I’m not sure how practical/functional that would be
  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
They were so comfy and gave me huge piece of mind at night when I might usually leak if my pad moves at all
  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?
Just to give them a go! I initially wasn’t sure about how I’d feel, worried I’d feel a bit gross but I didn’t at all and washing them is totally fine too. I’m a size 8/10 and I got a size S and they fit great
  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed? Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?
I really liked them, they were plenty absorbent for me during the night on the heaviest days of my period. I will definitely use them again and would absolutely consider buying more in the future
hiredandsqueak · 23/03/2022 19:37

1 How did you use Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts during the test? What do you think about how they fit in with your lifestyle?

Used them throughout my period alongside my other sanitary pants (Luna from Sainsburys) They are more absorbant so didn't need to use a cloth towel besides. Small were a good fit for size 8/10. Been using the Luna pants for a year and the convenience suits me well.

  1. What did you like about Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I liked the level of absorbency and that they were seamless. I'm short so they did sit high on my waist but they did fit well

  1. What advice would you share with others considering trying Uniqlo’s AIRism sanitary shorts?

I'd recommend them but you do need more than two pairs if you are ging to wear them throughout your period.

  1. What are your thoughts about how the sanitary shorts performed?
Will you continue to use your Uniqlo sanitary shorts?

They worked really well, they are more absorbant than my usual brand so will buy more for my heavier days and overnight. Yes will continue to use them.

Thank you Mumsnet and Uniqlo for letting me be part of this product test.
