Hanky Panky’s Soft Lace Boyshort now features a Saalt-powered gusset that holds up to 3 panty liners or 3 regular tampons of light bladder leaks, sweat, discharge, or regular period flow. Designed for all day comfort and perfect under skirts or dresses.
Fabric
Made with Hanky Panky’s exclusive copyrighted 100% nylon stretch lace and Saalt's patent-pending leakproof gusset tech. Hanky Panky Signature Lace® is knitted, dyed, and finished in the northeast USA.
Hanky Panky’s signature stretch lace is super-soft, stretches to move with your body, and never, ever binds or cuts in.
Care Instructions
After use, rinse your Saalt Wear leakproof underwear in cold water to help avoid staining. Then, hand wash or machine wash on cold, preferably in a Saalt Mesh Laundry Bag intended for delicates. You can use detergent but pass on the fabric softener, bleach, or iron to protect the tech. Proudly hang dry—energy efficient and free. We recommend avoiding putting Saalt Wear in the dryer, as high temperatures can degrade the elastics and fabric over time.

I bought myself a few pairs and I'm not kidding when I say they are so comfortable and fit perfect, I would wear them every single day!!! I feel so good about replacing all the pantyliners I use when I am on my period. Thank you Saalt!

I wanted to avoid panty lines and the bulk of pads while still wearing leggings at the gym. My solution was Saalt's seamless underwear. I was skeptical at first, but honestly they're very thin and comfortable making it the perfect thing to wear under leggings.

These are great! The period panties I've ordered from other brands feel like thin diapers mixed with granny panties. These are cute, they work, and I'm definitely going to buy more!

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 3.8 / 5 from 31 reviews.
These are life-changing! I wanted to try them a few times before leaving a review. They've worked as promised and washed well - the lace has not torn or pilled at all.
This was my first order with Saalt and I plan to be a loyal customer now! There was an issue with one of the items I received, and when I couldn't figure out how to contact someone about it, I got frustrated and just left a bad review. They responded immediately and fixed the issue without me having to do anything else. I'm 100% satisfied with both the product and the company.
These are the best period underwear I have ever owned. They are comfortable and do not ride up in the crotch or bum, which is often a problem I have with the thicker gusset of period underwear. I also love that the seams are sewn instead of glued together. I haven’t owned them long enough to guarantee this but I suspect this will make them last longer. Other pairs of period underwear I have owned with glued seams start coming apart after a year or so of wear. Five stars for the product, but two stars for the shipping experience. It took 17 days and multiple emails to customer service to get the first part of my order to ship and 27 days to receive the full order. I realize small businesses are not Amazon, but that’s a really long processing time by any measure. It wasn’t the post office or UPS either, Saalt just didn’t get it packed and shipped. Once it shipped it arrived within a few days. I now have major hesitation about ordering again when I could purchase from Hanky Panky instead.
Adore these - for the first time ever I'm excited to wear a period product. I use it along with a flex cup and it catches any leaks, then I wash and reuse on the later days of my period when the flow is lighter. Am thinking of getting a second pair so I can switch them out easier. Definitely worth it!
I used to wear these and am so happy they are available with period protection! They are comfortable which is most important, but the extra fanciness makes me smile when I'm not usually feeling so great. I always wear a size small but these stretched a bit and were a little loose by the end of the day. I'm going to try a size XS and hope they are perfect!
I kinda forgot I wasn't wearing my everyday underwear which are the hanky panky boy short. I was thrilled when I saw these and even more excited with how comfortable they were! I went up a size from my usual M, and got a L since I wanted room for that time of the month.
Runs larger than traditional Hanky Panky panties. I wear a women's 6 or a 8. I'm curvy, 39 inch hips and 28 inch waist. I normally am borderline between a S and a M. For Hanky Panky I size up to a M so I don't get a "muffin top. " For the Saalt vertion, the M was huge and I was able to exchange for a small. Also, the Saalt vertions come up higher. They are still lower rise, but not the ulta lowrise of the traditional Hanky Panky Boyshort. I have not worn them enough to see how the lace washes.
I took 1 star off because of sizing vs original brand, and they are average for period panties. They don't absorb all blood/sweat as quickly as I want. Though I haven't found a brand that does.
Store owner replied:
Caitlin, thanks for sharing such detailed fit notes and the comparison to the traditional Hanky Panky Boyshort. Your specifics on waist and hip measurements are super helpful for other shoppers.
You are right that our hanky panky+ powered by Saalt Boyshort runs a bit roomier with a slightly higher rise than the traditional version. I am glad the Small ended up being the right fit after your exchange.
On performance, thank you for the candid feedback. The Saalt-powered gusset is designed to hold up to 3 panty liners or 3 regular tampons of light to regular flow. We will share your note about absorption speed with our product team as we continue to refine the experience. If any other questions come up or you have more fit insights after a few washes, we would love to hear them. 🙂
Really like it overall, but I wish they would do one in a modal or bamboo- the lace is not super comfortable to wear sitting down forblobg periods of time.

Since testing these I have discovered- the front lining doesn't come up enough and leaks. The absorption is the same as all other period underwear I tried- definitely NOT dry as advertised.
Store owner replied:
I am sorry to hear that the hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] Boyshort did not meet your expectations and that you experienced leaking and concerns with the dryness of the fabric. It is disappointing when a product does not perform as hoped.
Because we want you to have a product that works for your needs, please visit our replacements page at https://saalt.com/pages/replacements so we can help make this right. We are committed to finding a solution that works for you. 🙂
No absorbency- bled through the sides in an hour. Can't return if you opened the package- can only exchange but I tried 2 styles and didn't like either so I wasted money. I ordered a size down too and they fit at first but stretch out and get baggy in an hour or 2. Not ideal in any way. 3 tampons is a lie- basically the equivalent of one thin liner.
Store owner replied:
We're so sorry to hear your Saalt Wear didn't provide the experience you were hoping for. That definitely isn't the comfort or protection we aim for. Absorbency can vary a bit depending on flow level and style, but we never want you to feel unsupported. While we're only able to offer exchanges or store credit for opened pairs, our team would be happy to help find a better fit or style that works for your needs. We just sent you an email, so please check your inbox. 😊
I typically wear a large in underwear but these feel over sized to me. They do help with leaks so I feel secure about that. I purchased these specifically because they were cuter than other period underwear so the sizing is disappointing although they are very pretty.
Store owner replied:
We're sorry to hear you didn't quite love the fit of your Saalt wear. We'd love to help you find a collection you do love! Please check your inbox.
I love the design and cut/style of these! I ordered my normal medium, but they really stretch out due to the lace design, so it created some uncomfortable situations throughout the workday with them not staying in place because they were too loose!
Store owner replied:
We're sorry to hear you aren't finding the most comfortable fit with your Saalt Wear. We'd love to help, please check your inbox. 😀
I like Saalt normally, but this one runs so large that it looks like a diaper on me. I wear M in all Saalt and Hanky Panky products-- including the collab bikini style, so bought 2 of these and washed them without questioning the size. I am disappointed that I did wash them since I cannot return them but they are far from the cute lacy undies I was hoping for.

Hi Kathleen, thanks so much for reaching out to us! We're sorry to hear you're disappointed with the fit of your Saalt Wear. A Saalt Coach will be reaching out to you directly via email to help support you. 💕
No issue with the leaks but I found these to run extremely large. I didn't want to pay the return shipping so I kept them but after wearing for a short time they stretch out a lot making them very uncomfortable and bulky. They weren't snug to my body which concerns me about wearing them on heavier flow days
Store owner replied:
Thanks so much for sharing your feedback; we hear you and understand how important a secure, comfortable fit is. A Saalt Coach will be reaching out via email to help find the best fit and support you. 💕
Ordered Medium, my typical underwear size for lots of brands. The mediums were huge, baggy and bunchy. I sent them all back and exchanged for smalls. They fit better, but still a weird fit and I only wear them under jeans because they shift around in dress/work pants. Considering the price, I expected a much better product.
Store owner replied:
Sorry the Hanky Panky + Saalt Boyshort did not fit as expected, Brenda. The shifting and bunching you described is not the experience we want, especially at this price.
We are here to help make this right and dial in the fit. Please start a request here so our team can assist with a replacement and personalized fit guidance: https://saalt.com/pages/replacements
1 star for functionality and 5 for style and fit. This looks really cute on but within 1 hour of taking out the tampon the underwear were already stained and leaking through to the lace ...
I cant even return these because these are an exchange from the first couple I returned for fitting poorly and not being flattering. There aren't even any styles I would exchange this for either, so I'm just stuck with them. They will only work as a backup for about an hour which is better than nothing but doesn't help much.
Also no one wants to see that these used to cost $38 but are now $45 yet you are sending them with the $38 tag. That hurts.
This was the first time I ordered from Saalt. I ordered two items, got one of the items I ordered but received the French Brief instead of the Boyshort.
Now I have to pay $17 in shipping fees to return the item I didn't want and get the item I did.
Store owner replied:
I am so sorry to hear that you received the wrong item in your first order and are being charged for the return. I understand how frustrating this must be.
Please know that we will do our best to resolve this issue for you as quickly as possible. We want to ensure you get the correct boyshorts without any extra hassle. 🙂
I have been trying to get a size exchange for weeks. I sent the return weeks ago. It's been "being inspected" for ages. I have to ping the chat every single time since there's no online status for this. Now I'm waiting for a representative to revert to me in 1-2 days. The underwear, in my experience, are great. The service is terrible.
Store owner replied:
Hello there,
Thanks for getting in touch. I have looked into your exchange for order has been placed. We're so sorry for both the delay in getting back to you and the delay in shipping your order. We know you've already been patient, and we truly appreciate your understanding and support.
We've recently experienced a much higher-than-normal order volume, which has unfortunately caused delays in fulfillment. Our team is actively working through orders as quickly as possible, and your order remains in the queue for processing.
We've added a note for our shipping team to help prioritize your order, and we'll continue to keep an eye on it from our side. As soon as it ships, you'll receive a shipping confirmation email with tracking information.
We realize this doesn't fully make up for the delay, but we'd be happy to add a $10 Saalt gift card to your account. We hope it serves as a small gesture of appreciation for your patience and understanding.
We sincerely apologize for the delay and truly appreciate your patience and support. Please let us know if there's anything else we can help with in the meantime.
I buy this brand a lot and that's why I wanted to buy period Underwear. Size M is way too big. I am size 8-10 not small for sure. M is gigantic and I bought 3 for $100!
