BambodyAbsorbent/Overnight High Waist Panty: Period Panties/Maternity & Postpartum Underwear (Medium, 1 x Black)

size is too small

I bought a pair before and liked them so much that I bought them again. They are soft and work well. Very absorbent and wick well. Unfortunately, the most recent pairs have stiff elastic around the legs making them much less comfortable. The same size and style are really pinching around the legs. I hope that they fix this because my first pair is so comfortable. Would return if I hadn’t washed before wearing assuming that they would be the same as my first pair. Might help to size up, but I worry that they would be too loose.

Use these for those really crampy days. They are bulky so wouldn’t recommend wearing outside of home but for lounging around during that time it’sPerfect. Did not leak nor stain wore throughout the night

UPDATE: The initial review was for the old style of Bambody (I had waited several months to write a review so I could properly try the product), but I saw that they updated the style, so I ordered another pair. They are higher rise and more stretchy, just like I was wanting! Nice!!---This was my first venture into the world of period undies, and I am happy with them. Many of the reviews I read said to size up, but I ordered my normal size because I would rather them be a little snug than too big, especially when there could be a possibility of leaking. I'm happy with my decision not to size up, and I like the fit, except I would've liked just a slightly higher rise.These are very absorbant and can tide me over for about 24 hours (give or take) on my heaviest days (though to be fair, my flow isn't usually super heavy). At first I was a little paranoid about it because I didn't know how much they could hold, but the more I wear them, the more secure I feel. That's not to say that you can't max them out, because you can - it just takes a lot. And so far my only experience with "leaking" was just that a little came around the seams on the in-between-the-legs part and got on the outside of the underwear. I discovered it pretty quickly and it didn't get on my pants or anything.One thing I will say is that they are not as stretchy as normal underwear due to the leakproof lining. But overall, I like them. I can live my normal life in these - sleeping, working out, going out, etc. - and feel pretty secure doing it.

Update: These do not mask the smell… I wore them out in public for maybe 4 hours and I was so embarrassed because I could smell it. Also, I washed them that night and the smell hasn’t came out. I’m going to rewash again and see if it comes out. If not, straight to the trash.These do run a bit small but I like my bottoms to be a bit looser and I carry most of my weight in my thighs and stomach. But what’s going on with the pricing? It’s absolutely ridiculous. I bought a pair a 2 weeks ago and they were $8.90, I bought a pair yesterday and they were $10.90 and I’m wanting to get a couple more pairs and now they’re $14.90 each!!!! What the heck!
