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!

  • Euna

    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.

  • Michelle C.

    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!

Reviews

Not Suitable for Heavy Periods

"I was very excited about these but was sadly disappointed. I have a pretty heavy period and these did not last even two hours even though I ordered the heavy option. I bled through my jeans entirely. They are very comfortable and the fabric is nice, so they are definitely useful for a light period, spotting, or end of period situation."

Kelly T. (1/5)

Almost perfect

"Great so far except the heavy cotton brief in the shade pink dawn ran a little big for the medium I had chosen. The regular medium cotton briefs in volcanic black fit perfectly but the heavy one is a touch large. I'm hoping it'll shrink down just enough if I throw it in the dryer just for the first wash."

Samantha R. (4/5)

Beautiful, but for heavy bleeds Heavy is just not enough

"I have a very heavy flow for the first 2-3 days of my bleed and I found that for my heavy days these just don't cut it. On the other hand I have used some of the Super products and have found them to be exceptional!"

Shoham O. (3/5)

Do not get cotton, leaks thru gusset seam lines

"It is comfortable, the gusset is theoretically absorbent and drys fast. . . . but the seem lines in between the gusset and cotton fabric would take up blood and cause massive leakage. I do not recommend for blood. It works for sweat and discharge."

Kaitlyn H. (1/5)

Should not be labeled for heavy periods

"I bled through a "heavy" type brief in less than one hour."

Linda S. (1/5)

I like the breathability of

"I like the breathability of these and they fit well. I only wear as a back-up for my cup, so I can't speak for how leakproof they are, but for what I need they do well. I give them four stars only because the only option period underwear comes in is black and I would like more options in colors."

Jamie R. (4/5)

Wedgie-inducing and not a brief but still okay.

"These are the most wedgie-inducing underwear I have ever tried. I would not describe these as a classic brief fit and fit more like a bikini style. They also have looser seams on the leg holes which is fine, it just means they will definitely ride up more. I wish there was an option for a classic brief style in cotton as I do not like a boy short style. I also wish these came in a light absorbency with less of the absorbency material as I wear them more like a panty liner with my disc. I think having less of that material would also help the wedgie issue. Besides the fit, these serve their purpose and wash easily. I'd just fix the fit and have some lighter flow options!"

Sophia E. (3/5)

Leakproof Cotton Brief

"The brief is just a little small for my shape, not terrible though. It did leak through the underwear but not to my jeans"

Sherese J. (3/5)

Didn't Live Up to Hype

"This was a disappointment. With all the great reviews and sites recommending Saalt, I was excited to try something that was going to be comfortable and dry. They do absorb incredibly well, but they don't last long. I tried these on my first day of my period and they kept riding up, so I was constantly aware that I was wearing them. I was also disappointed to see how narrow the gusset was! They'll be returned, and I'll go back to my trusty period. co bc I just can't manage the poor fit."

Heidi R. (2/5)

Leaked after 2 hours

"Out of the variety of undies that I got, this one leaked so quickly and it really disappointed me. The fabric itself is nice but I prefer the more snug seamless feel. This one tended to feel more like a diaper."

Elina R. (2/5)
