The World’s Most Comfortable Thong®, now leak proof.
Hanky Panky’s quintessential Original Rise Thong now features a Saalt-powered gusset that holds up to 2 panty liners or 2 regular tampons of light bladder leaks, sweat, discharge, or light period flow.
The Original Rise Thong was born in NYC in 1986 and has been keeping generations of women comfortable for decades with its ultra-soft stretch lace, flattering fit, and nearly-naked feel.
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.
Fits higher on the hips with a flattering V-front, V-back waistband
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.

Bust Measurement: Wearing a bra with no padding (preferably with an underwire to give the needed lift), measure around the fullest part of your bust. Round the measurement to the nearest inch.

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!

These work - and they are pretty. A wonderful upgrade!
I wore these to a concert over the weekend with total confidence. Not only did they absorb an insane amount of sweat in that summer heat, but I didn't worry about jumping up and down with excitement either. I would definitely recommend getting a few pairs.
I was expecting this to feel thick or heavy, given the reinforced crotch panel, but it felt light and comfortable and no different from my regular Hanky Panky thongs. I haven't really tested the absorbency yet, so that's next, but I do think I'll be ordering more of these!
I'm at the point where a good sneeze can sometime force a urine leak, so I thought I would try these. I've been a fan of Hanky Panky thongs for many years and this blend with a light absorbent layer gives me both the comfort of a no-show thong and confidence that those occasional break through leaks won't spread to my clothes. Happy with this product!
Store owner replied:
It is so wonderful to hear that you have been a long-time fan of Hanky Panky and that our collaboration has given you that extra bit of confidence. We designed these to provide that same nearly-naked feel you love while offering discreet protection for those unexpected moments. We are so glad they are working well for you! 😀
If you're a hanky panky queen, do not think twice about ordering these. they are perfect. I can barely tell the difference between these and my regular, non-period pairs. A triumph.
I hadn't treated myself to anything from Hanky Panky in years, but I'm glad I bit the bullet on this one. Fits perfectly and has a little bit of a longer leakproof gusset than the other thong styles, so I feel confident I won't ruin a super cute pair of underwear. Perfect for IUD periods without additional products needed.
Store owner replied:
Catherine, thank you for the thoughtful review and the 5 stars ⭐ We are so glad your Hanky Panky + Saalt Original Thong fits perfectly and that the longer leakproof gusset gives you that extra confidence. Love hearing it has you covered for IUD-period days without any extra products. Enjoy your comfy, cute pairs 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE these panties. I have other leakproof underwear and they're effective but don't look great. These make me feel feminine while also giving me great peace of mind and the absorbency keeps me nice and dry. 100% recommend!
Store owner replied:
Shella, this made our day. We are thrilled that the Hanky Panky + Saalt Original Thong keeps you feeling feminine and dry, and that it stands out from other leakproof styles for you.
Thank you for the amazing recommendation and the 5 stars. 🤩
