Out of the variety of undies that I got, this one leaked so quickly and it really disappointed me. The fabric itself is nice but I prefer the more snug seamless feel. This one tended to feel more like a diaper.

Do not get cotton, leaks thru gusset seam lines
It is comfortable, the gusset is theoretically absorbent and drys fast. . . . but the seem lines in between the gusset and cotton fabric would take up blood and cause massive leakage. I do not recommend for blood. It works for sweat and discharge.

It’s a meh
The gusset is a bit too small/short; it’s comfortable but it didn’t hold as much as I thought it would. I should’ve bought only one at first.

So soft and good coverage
These are possibly the most comfortable underwear I have ever had. The fabric is so soft and has the right amount of stretch and the absorbency/coverage is just right.

Don’t work
I honestly thought these were going to be good, but I leaked through them within like three hours of wearing them.

Leaked
This underwear leaked when I wore it overnight on my heavy night. I wouldn’t say that I bleed any more than the average person so I’m a little disappointed that it leaked but other than that it has been good.

I like the breathability of
I like the breathability of these and they fit well. I only wear as a back-up for my cup, so I can't speak for how leakproof they are, but for what I need they do well. I give them four stars only because the only option period underwear comes in is black and I would like more options in colors.

Wedgie-inducing and not a brief but still okay.
These are the most wedgie-inducing underwear I have ever tried. I would not describe these as a classic brief fit and fit more like a bikini style. They also have looser seams on the leg holes which is fine, it just means they will definitely ride up more. I wish there was an option for a classic brief style in cotton as I do not like a boy short style. I also wish these came in a light absorbency with less of the absorbency material as I wear them more like a panty liner with my disc. I think having less of that material would also help the wedgie issue. Besides the fit, these serve their purpose and wash easily. I'd just fix the fit and have some lighter flow options!

Didn't Live Up to Hype
This was a disappointment. With all the great reviews and sites recommending Saalt, I was excited to try something that was going to be comfortable and dry. They do absorb incredibly well, but they don't last long. I tried these on my first day of my period and they kept riding up, so I was constantly aware that I was wearing them. I was also disappointed to see how narrow the gusset was! They'll be returned, and I'll go back to my trusty period. co bc I just can't manage the poor fit.

Feels natural
I used these as a backup to a disk and after using pads for years it felt so minimal and natural. I always worried about where the pad was sitting and if it would catch the leak, but these underwear stayed with me. I did leak but the panties didn't! I also appreciated that there was no smell, even after wearing them all day. You do need more than one pair though as they take a full day to hang dry after washing. Once you experience period panties you won't want to go back to pads.

Soft, but a little bulky
Has a bit of a "diaper" fit compared to other period underwear I've tried. Bulky in the tush. But, nice smooth fabric and kept me dry through a moderate / light day.

Nice product, bad sizing
The sizing is bad. I felt like they cut in and just didn't sit well. I liked the product itself, but I should have read some more reviews on sizing.

Amazing
I love how lightweight these are, but how much protection they provide. I was comfortable and there was no weird odor - definitely buying a couple more so I have one for every day of my period!

Worry free
I love this underwear. I feel most comfortable wearing tampons, and even on my heaviest days, will leak through. I hate wearing pads and this keeps me feeling worry free all day. I’m going to get more so that I have enough to last me a whole period week. Highly recommend!

Wonderful product for everyday
I ordered different styles and have been pleased with all of them. I dribble when I sneeze so these are perfect for everyday.

Exceeded expectations!
Soft, great cut and fit, and not too bulky. I hardly noticed a difference between them and my regular underwear. I use as a backup for my menstrual cup and they work perfectly. Saalt is my new favorite brand for leak proof underwear!

This is the best product
This is the best product I've tried from this line. Comfortable, not riding up or down, holds enough moisture for me to get through the day.

Convenient but not exactly leakproof
I was super excited to try these as an alternative to pads and tampons. The fit is comfortable and stylish. Unfortunately I completely bled through by 11am on my first day wearing them. I was wearing the Heavy flow Leakproof Cotton Brief, and this was a birth control period so not as heavy as my normal periods. I think these could be a great fit for lighter flow days or spotting, but calling them leakproof for a heavy flow is pretty misleading. Thankfully I have already submitted a request to exchange them for Super absorbency but I will definitely be more careful with using back-up protection in the future.
