Period underwear high waist styles aren’t just a fan favorite. They’re a smart, feel-good upgrade. With a rise that rests above the hips and a silhouette that hugs every curve, Saalt’s high waisted designs offer full coverage and a secure fit for every flow, mood, and moment. Whether you’re headed to bed or headed out the door, these are the undies you’ll want by your side.
Why High Waist = High Praise
There’s a reason high waisted period panties are a customer favorite. They deliver coverage, confidence, and comfort exactly where you need it. The elevated waistband stays in place, offers gentle compression, and adds a layer of reassurance during your heavy flow days or overnight. It’s about feeling held, not restricted.
Don’t believe us? Here’s why our customers are raving about our Leakproof Lace High Waist undies:
Kavita F. shares: “I love these. They are so comfortable, so cute, and I can wear either S or M and be fine with it. Never had any leaks or anything with them. Love this product.”
Gunjan V. adds: “I have tried period underwear before. I love the material, feel, and comfort provided by this one. 100% recommend.”
Saalt’s Signature Leakproof Innovation
What makes Saalt’s high waisted period underwear such a game-changer? It all comes down to the gusset—the hardworking, ultra-thin core of every pair. Designed with patented technology, our gusset handles moisture, locks in leaks, and keeps you feeling comfortably dry all day and night.
Each gusset includes multiple layers, starting with a soft, moisture-wicking top that pulls fluid away from your skin. Beneath that sits a highly absorbent inner layer that traps and holds liquid securely. Finally, a leak-resistant barrier layer ensures everything stays exactly where it should: far away from your clothes.
This innovation isn’t bulky, crinkly, or complicated. It’s streamlined protection built into a sleek, breathable fit—proof that powerful protection doesn’t have to look or feel like a backup plan.

Made Without Compromise
At Saalt, protecting your body and the planet isn’t just a feature. It’s the foundation. Every pair of our high waisted period underwear is made with durable materials and never treated with PFAS. If you’ve been searching for period underwear made without PFAS, you’ve found it!
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are long-lasting chemicals that break down slowly over time. Because of how often they’re used globally, they’re now found in the blood of people and animals, which may be harmful to health. That’s why we believe non-toxic period products should be the standard, not the exception. We back every product with third-party testing and ethical sourcing. Our collection is designed to offer leakproof confidence without hidden chemicals or compromises on comfort.
Choosing Saalt means choosing a better cycle—for your body, your wallet, and the world. Our high waisted styles are built to last, and every wear keeps thousands of disposable products out of landfills and oceans. Saalt's design philosophy is simple: Care for your body while caring for the Earth. That’s protection with purpose.
Comfort That Comes In Every Size
At Saalt, we know period care isn’t one-size-fits-all, because bodies aren’t. That’s why our high waisted period underwear is available in inclusive sizing from XS to 4X for most styles, with flexible fits that hug your body without digging in or giving you a wedgie. Whether you’re looking for a light layer of protection or extra confidence on your heavy flow days, we’re here to help you feel supported in every way.
And if high rise isn’t your style? We’ve got you. Saalt offers leakproof period panties for heavy flow in a variety of silhouettes to suit your shape and preferences—including boyshorts for full coverage, briefs for classic comfort, and bikinis for a sleek, low-rise fit with a bit of cheekiness. All styles are made with our signature ultra-absorbable gusset technology, crafted to keep you dry, comfortable, and completely leak-free.
Our plus size period underwear collection makes it easy to find the fit that’s just right for you. Because when it comes to period care, you deserve options that fit your body, your flow, and your life.
Empowering Every Cycle
There’s a quiet kind of power in knowing you’re covered. For too long, period care has meant sacrifice: missed gym sessions, nervous desk shifts, sleep disrupted by the possibility of leaks. But with high waisted period underwear, that narrative changes.
This isn’t just about managing a mess. It’s about reclaiming ownership of your body. With the gentle support and reliable protection of leakproof underwear, you can jog freely, lounge comfortably, and sleep deeply knowing you’re protected. That’s what modern period care looks like: freedom, security, and comfort that moves with you.
And it doesn’t stop there.

Changing The Script On Period Equity
Globally, millions face barriers to basic period care. In the U.S., 1 in 5 people with a period struggle to afford essential products each month. In places like Kenya and Nepal, lack of access to supplies leads to missed school, perpetuating cycles of poverty and stigma.
Saalt believes that no one should miss school, work, or life because of their period. That’s why our impact work centers on three pillars:
- Menstrual Health: Offering long-term solutions to improve care and break taboos.
- Education & Empowerment: Keeping girls in school and communities thriving.
- Sustainability: Designing products that protect both your body and the planet.
Wear What Matters
Choosing Saalt means more than just choosing better period protection. It means standing for access, equality, and conscious impact. With every cycle, you’re supporting a cleaner planet, stronger communities, and a future where period care empowers instead of limits.
Because period care should never come at the cost of your comfort.
Make The Switch
Caring for your period isn’t just about what you use. It’s how you use it. Whether you wear high waisted period underwear, a cup, or a combination of products, small hygiene habits can make a big difference in keeping your body healthy and your products lasting longer. Here’s how to care for your Saalt Wear and yourself throughout your cycle.
How To Wash And Care For Saalt Period Underwear
Saalt period underwear is made to be reused again and again. If you treat it well, it’ll return the favor!
- Rinse Right After Wear: Use cool water to rinse your underwear until it runs clear. This helps prevent stains and preps the fabric for washing.
- Machine Wash On Cold: Wash with similar colors on a delicate cycle. Use mild, fragrance-free detergent and skip the bleach or fabric softeners.
- Air Dry Only: Hang to dry or lay flat. High heat can break down the elastic and compromise the leakproof gusset.
- Avoid Ironing: Excessive heat can damage the protective layers and shorten product lifespan.
These simple steps keep your Saalt Wear fresh and functional, supporting a reusable period care routine with ease.
Healthy Hygiene Habits For Your Period
Maintaining good hygiene during menstruation helps reduce irritation, prevent infections, and support your overall well-being. According to the CDC, these habits go hand in hand with reusable period care:
- Wear Breathable Fabrics: Choose lightweight clothing and underwear designed to keep you dry and comfortable.
- Change Regularly: Whether you’re using pads, tampons, or period underwear, don’t wear the same product for too long. This could potentially lead to a rash or infection.
- Gently Cleanse Your Vulva Daily: Use warm water only—no soaps, sprays, or washes inside the vagina. It’s self-cleaning and best left alone to maintain natural pH balance.
- Wipe Front To Back: Always wipe from front to back after using the bathroom to reduce the risk of spreading bacteria.
- Skip Scented Hygiene Products: They can irritate sensitive skin and disrupt your microbiome.
- Stay Hydrated: Drinking water supports your urinary tract and overall comfort throughout your cycle.
- Track Your Cycle: Period tracking helps you notice patterns and flag anything irregular. It’s a smart way to stay in tune with your reproductive health.
- Don’t Skip Your Annual Check-Up: A yearly visit to a healthcare provider is a chance to check in on your menstrual health and screen for potential concerns early.
Every act of care is a step toward comfort, confidence, and sustainable health. Because when you treat your body with respect, it pays you back in strength and resilience, cycle after cycle.
