Q: Do you still need to wear a pad with these?
submitted by JHicks - 9 months ago
A: The Hanes Women’s 3pk Comfort Period Boyshort Underwear (Moderate Leaks) are designed with built-in absorbent protection to help manage moderate leaks. For most people, they can be worn on their own without a pad. However, if you experience a heavier flow or prefer extra protection, you may choose to wear them with a pad or backup product for added confidence.
The Hanes women's fresh and dry leak protection boyshort underwear offers a comfortable and reliable solution for managing periods and light bladder leaks. Guests appreciate the soft fabric, good absorbency, and breathable design, making them suitable for daily wear. While some mention sizing issues and concerns about the gusset design, many find them effective for light to moderate flow days. Overall, they provide a practical and affordable option for those seeking comfort and protection during their menstrual cycle.

Nice, kept me dry.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These actually weren’t bad at all. First of all, yes they are a bit thicker in the bottom to help with flow, but they did absorb nicely and kept me dry. They are comfortable and soft and i think they’re true to size. They wash easily and not as wasteful as pads. All in all they are nice.

Super comfortable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using these Hanes period boy shorts and I’m honestly impressed. They are super comfortable, feel just like regular underwear and give a great protection without bulk. No leaks, no odor and feel secure all day. Perfect for moderate flow or as backup. The fabric is made of cotton, it does not cause irritation, they are very elastic and comfortable, I always use them at night, they fit well at the waist without discomfort.

Reliable
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] To be honest I was wary to try this, since I was so used to using more conventional means of periodic products. I wore them at home because I was afraid of leakage, but that didn’t happen. They were comfortable and there was no friction or uncomfortable chafing. Love that they are reusable, don’t particularly love the cleaning part but this will definitely save you money.

Breezie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like wearing these, they are pretty comfy. Took out a star because I personally would have liked a little extra in the front as well. Would I trust them with the amount of 3 tampons? Maybe not, but it's good on its own for a smaller flow, for the last days or if you are wearing something else as well. I use it for protection when using my disk and for the last days of my flow. It does good at protecting the bloody odor.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never tried this before getting it and was really intrigued at how it works. When i got it the quality seems great and worth the price. They have different colors too which is great.

The “pad” only reaches halfway up. Leaked all through the top of the underwear

I was shocked at the results!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For mature viewers only: I'm going to be honest, I didn't know what to take a picture of 😆 because I'm definitely not posting myself in underwear. Anyway, these actually work pretty well. It has high absorbency, and does what the package says (which is rare). I have endometriosis with a high flow, and I was able to wear these longer than tampons, and that only last about an hour each. Also if you get the right size, they are comfortable just like normal underwear. This is the first time I tried alternatives for period products, and considering all of our stuff has led in it, this was a great time to try.

Perfect for you . Period.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these Hanes brand women’s moderate absorbency period boyshort underwear. Comes with 3 pairs, 3 different colors. They are comfortable, easy to move in and not only absorb your period, but also help with odor. Definitely recommend these. Unfortunately I messed up and got a size too big. So these ones are about falling off of me.

Not bad.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These were much better than I expected. They were comfortable and not bulky. And decent coverage and absorption. I do wish the absorbing part went up higher in the front though.

Decent period underwear
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think these might be one size too small for me. They seem like they’ll hold leaks in really well. However, I feel like the pad part of the underwear goes up higher in the back & not far enough in the front. They are pretty comfortable. These feel more like bikini than boyshort.

Size too small
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was a size too small. I needed a larger size. But based on the fabric this is incredibly soft. I wore this while I was spotting right before my period. This provided the support I needed during my monthly period. Washing these period boyshorts was incredibly easy. I wish I could try this in the correct size. That would have been incredibly helpful.

Great period support!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok I’ve tried period underwear from another brand and this one from Hanes is just a touch above them! The coverage is perfect for my intimate area and covers it well without any leaking to the sides. It’s breathable and comfortable which make you forget it’s a period underwear because how comfortable it is. It has just the right amount of stretch and and even though I usually wear size medium, these fits good. I don’t use them when I have overly heavy days to be on the safe side but from the might of day 2 going into 3 these are perfect !

Hanes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are such a comfortable fit. I love that the fabric is soft and size is the same as mentioned. The feel is soft and doesn’t scratch the skin. The edges fit perfect and it has extra padding in the middle for absorbency. These are perfect to wear on periods days for light absorption. I have worn Hanes for years and they have always good quality product.

Would recommend!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Hanes Comfort Period underwear is an incredibly convenient choice for managing both my menstrual cycle and occasional bladder leaks. These panties are exceptionally comfortable to wear; the waistband is soft and pleasant against the skin, the leg openings do not bind too tightly against the thighs, and the fabric feels smooth, never bulky or irritating. They ensure a clean and fresh feel thanks to a special internal lining that effectively absorbs and locks away moisture, while the Stain Block Liner, provides reliable leak protection. The moisture wicking fabric keeps you feeling dry and comfortable, and the Odor Guard offers excellent odor control. Great quality.

Odd smell unused
They work well for coverage but right out of the package I noticed they smell awful. Still do even after washing them and not using them.

not for heavy flow or sleep
the problem with these is that the gusset is too small compared to other period underwear brands; it doesn't extend far enough either in the front or the back. for, this means that they're not good to sleep in, and they're not absorbent enough for heavy days. I'll still use them on lighter days, but they're not as useful as I had hoped. they fit as expected, and they don't seem very durable, considering one had a snag right out of the box.
