Rael Disposable Underwear for Women, Organic Cotton Cover - Postpartum Essentials, Leak Locker, Unscented, Maximum Coverage (Size S-M, 20 Count)

As a girl with endometriosis and extremely heavy flow, long lasting periods, i basically ONLY use disposable underwear for my period. I don’t use pads, tampons or cups, only disposable underwear. So, I’ve tried many different brands and I have to say, Rael is by far the best disposable underwear I’ve found.I do have some dislikes, but let’s go over everything I love about them first!•FITI am 5,4ft in height and about 100IBS with a waist size of 24-25 depending on my cycle. Unlike most brands where the sizing is usually wonky, these fit great! Not too tight and not too small. They are also very stretchy.•MATERIALmost brands I’ve tried have a very rough sand paper feel to them. These are the complete opposite, in my opinion. They are very soft and have a butter like feel to them, which I love because that really helps with the noise. Speaking of noise..•NOISEthey can make noise sometimes, depending on what clothes you wear, or body movements. But for the most part they are pretty quiet.• ABSORBINGThe absorbency is amazing. I have NEVER leaked in these, which I HAVE leaked in most brands. Since trying these, I have not had any bloody accidents.• LEAK GUARDSI love the leak guards on these. They have saved me a million times and I’m very happy with them.•BULKINESSWe have to be honest with ourselves, ANY disposable underwear you get are going to feel and look like a diaper. There will most likely always be Bulkiness and without bulkiness, if you have periods like I do, you’re likely to leak.Obviously, these are a little bulky. They do tend to bunch up in the crotch area which isn’t my favorite. But they aren’t OVERLY bulky. I can get away with most clothing items except for leggings or spandex. But Jean shorts, jeans, anything else I can wear.• PACKAGING FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL PANTYI really like that each panty is individually wrapped. It makes it easier to pack away into a backpack or purse, or just carry around overall. And if your ever in a sticky situation where there isn’t a trash can and you’ll have to carry them in a bag, you can use the packing that came with the underwear you were changing into to put the dirty underwear in for later disposal.• DURATION.With my heavy flow, most brands wouldn’t last me more than 2 hours. I can wear these for about 4 hours before needing to change them. I’ve gone longer, such as when I’m sleeping and have not leaked BUT you’ll start to feel a little gross if you wait too long to change them.•SMELLI don’t think these come with scent? But I often don’t smell my own blood unless I am overdue for a change.• TOTAL AMOUNT OF UNDIES!I actually have left a review a little over a year ago, and at one point they only carried packs with up to 10 undies, which DID NOT last me through out my period. Eventually, they added a pack with 20 pairs of undies which was a game changer. Before that, I had to buy 2 individual packs to last me with my period. Since they added more, I’ve been buying from this brand ever since and I’m extremely happy they added 20 undies in a pack so I don’t have to buy 2 individual packs.DISLIKE:The only dislike I have is the design. I get very tired of the plain white, or plain solid colors. When it comes down to it, none of us want to wear diapers once a month. But unfortunately, some of us, such as me, have to to be the most safe and protected for our periods. It already feels and looks like a diaper, but I feel like some cute designs would really help get rid of that “diaper look” and make a lot of us feel better about wearing them. Maybe some cute flowers, I don’t know.I wanted to add images of not only the undies but also images of me wearing them because I know some people like to get an idea of what they look like worn.For the most part, no complaints besides hoping one day they’ll have some cute designs instead of JUST plain white. I get very bored with the plain white, or just plain solid colors.

I am 120 lbs, 5’1” and will not use tampons. There is nothing worse than trying to shove a giant pad in between your thighs. Let’s just state the obvious, the pad is going to fold and bunch up and shift and there’s nothing worse than having a pad bunch up your butt. So what first led me to these is that I’m not totally convinced yet I want to wear washable period panties because of the chemically treated absorbency inserts. I will have to dig into that more before I decide. But I wanted to feel 100% confident when I slept and moved around that I wouldn’t have to freak out and wake up because I leaked onto the sheets. So I bought these and wow I found my answer. If you can get past the fact that yes they look like incontinence underwear I’d rather wear these than have a giant cotton stick inside me soaked in blood which so many people do even at night. So then I was like screw it I’m wearing these to work under my jeans and to the gym under my GymShark leggings. Guess what no one can tell. They are completely smooth. So when I do burpees or stand up and sit down on my bike in spin class I don’t have to worry anymore that my pad is going to shift to the side. My period flow has fluctuated based on my exercise, stress, sleep and diet but in the last few years it’s typically been 5-7 days medium. But here’s a secret for you. If you take L-Theanine/Suntheanine it will lighten up your period tremendously. L-Theanine is just an amino acid derived from the green tea family for stress. You can’t overdose, it’s just like drinking a lot of tea, and no it’s not caffeinated. No one knows this secret. One thing I will be emailing the brand - If they could consider creating a design where the panties could be removed and put on without removing your pants. Like a side diagonal adhesion. This was not an incentivized review.

These are such a game changer. I wish they had these during my 20s and 30s because I have never been able to sleep well during my period because it’s always in the back of my mind that I’m gonna leak and ruin my sheets, which has happened many times over the course of three decades. Do they look like a diaper? Absolutely. I do not allow my husband to ever see me wearing these. I feel like that chapter of our lives where I wear an actual diaper is right around the corner, so no need to traumatize him now. They are comfortable, they don’t itch or bunch and I don’t have to worry about getting up in the middle of the night to check for leakage. I am at an age in life where I appreciate the finer things…like ultra luxurious sheets. Which are very expensive. So more than anything these give me great peace of mind and a restful night sleep during the worst week of the month.

I started out using Always ZZZ Overnight Disposable Period Underwear but I had an allergic reaction to the material or dye. Then I tried Always Discreet but they didn't fit properly and were itchy in the leg of the butt area. I've been on a journey to eliminate products with tons of chemicals and I stumbled upon these at Target one day and gave them a try. I had previously tried tampons by this brand but they were too hard ouch, but its 100% cotton so I took the chance and fell in love. I wear them under certain clothes because you can see the texture through many fabrics; jeans work best.-Very Absorbent. No longer have ruined clothing or linens-Thick enough for heavy bleeding, but moisture is still felt not too bad if its not clots.-No adhesive-Reasonably priced being that they are 100% cotton-Very Durable can be worn for 8+ hours depending on flow (Not recommended do to hygiene)
