Goat UnionOvernight Period Shorts for Women - Absorbent Period Boyshorts Heavy Flow

Highly recommend for people of all genders!Fit: I'm 5'7" and 140lb, I usually wear a size M in bottoms. I have the size Medium in these and it fits very comfortably. They are NOT tight on the waist, hips, thighs, or anywhere. I think if I got a Small, they would have been more snug but still not tight.Look: They look like normal black mid-rise or high-rise short spandex shorts. They cover my entire bottom, and there is zero cheek poking out. If you are trans, butch, or gender nonconforming, you could wear these as trunks during your menses, but they're not long enough to be boxer briefs. I just wear them as I would wear black spandex short shorts.Cut/Design: The inner layer has a seam simulating where the leg holes of normal panties would be. This results in an amazing fit and it's my favorite part of these shorts. It's genius. The gusset is the perfect width and everything just sits right. The fit of period panties is important for ensuring no leaks, and these fit great. There are no uncomfortable seams or weird unflattering butt seam like I've heard about some other brands' period panties.Material: Stretchy and comfortable. Like I said, they are not tight in any area of the shorts at all. This is really important to me.Absorbency: They work just as well as brand-name period panties that advertise the same level of absorbency. I use them alone on my 3rd day, where I have medium-light flow, and it takes it like a champ. No leaks at all. (I want to experiment using them on my heaviest day and push them to the breaking point to see when they'll leak, but I just haven't gotten the chance to yet. I'll definitely edit the review if I do, because it sounds like a valuable experiment.)Miscellaneous: Not smelly. Doesn't feel wet when wearing. I'll notice a clot once in a while-- give it a wipe and you're good to go. Doesn't feel like a diaper.Note: I heard about Goat Union from some reviews on Reddit, and decided to give it a try. I do own other, more expensive brands of period panties already (because I literally cry every time I wear a pad because of the discomfort). This is my first time buying period panties from Amazon. I really like these and I want to buy the Goat Union high waisted once my size is available but they haven't had my size in like a really long time lol.

I can't use tampons/cups/discs for medical reasons and have been struggling to find good nighttime options for awhile. Everything I tried was either uncomfortable/no stretch or not enough coverage. These are my favorites so far.Pros:-My periods get pretty heavy and I've used these through the whole night with no issues-It provides coverage on the back too! So many period underwear only cover in crotch which I don't like for nighttime use-They are comfy/stretchy-Even when I'm super bloated, these are comfortable to wear. I was between sizes and went a size up and I'm glad I did for better comfort. The material has a good stretch and doesn't dig into your skin-They are actual boy shorts and come down a little bit on your legs so I don't worry about underwear sliding/leaking at nightsCons:-Like all period underwear, it's hard to tell when your underwear is "full". Since I use for night time only, I just change first thing in the morning and I've never had any issues.-I was originally thinking I would use pads as back up but winged pads would not work with this underwear pads without wings would). I actually found I didn't need a back up though-They do take awhile to line dry. For me I think it's worth it, because they clearly hold liquid very well but if you are planning to wash and reuse the next day then it may not work out for you-Not ideal for day use. If you are looking for underwear for daytime, I wouldn't recommend just because they are thicker-You do get a little bit of that "wet" feeling when they're really "full". Personally I find it more comfortable then pads so I'm willing to put up with itI already bought a second pair and will most likely end up buying more eventually. The price is good for period underwear. If you are looking for something for nighttime use, I would recommend

these shorts are the absolute best, i have a really heavy flow and i can wear these for hours before bed and through the whole night and not leak. they are comfortable 10x more comfortable then a pad, look good and hold A LOT!

I was very impressed with this product. I typically have a VERY heavy period (going through an ultra tampon every 2 hours), but had gotten in a car accident which resulted in 3 broken ribs which meant using tampons was going to be impossible. I got these shorts hoping to minimize a mess. Instead, they worked great through the night! They are very thick so I would not wear them under tight pants. However, they were comfortable and very true to size.

Great for during the day but not overnight. The padding doesn't wrap the whole front and back so it will leak through the rest of the underwear.
