    I am in love with these undies! I wore them on my heavier days for half a day, and they did a great job. No leaks, no stains! The fit was perfect; great for when you are wearing low rise pants.

  • Natalie E.

    Is it weird that I was actually looking forward to my period to be able to rock these cute undies? Like lots of people said, these are cuter than a lot of my regular underwear and it's so nice to finally ditch the backup pad. Can't wait to get more in different colors to get me through period week!

  • 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!

  • Lani D.

    Love it!!! It's so soft and you wouldn't even know that it was a period panty. Will definitely purchase more & recommend to all my friends & family! I've already bought some for my teenager daughter.

Saalt Wear FAQs

What Makes Sweat Proof Underwear Different From Regular Underwear, And Why Does It Matter?

Sweat proof underwear goes beyond basic comfort, it’s a functional, breathable solution for bodies that move, sweat, and flow. Unlike standard cotton or synthetic underwear that absorbs moisture and leaves you feeling sticky or soaked, Saalt’s sweat proof underwear is designed with our patented leakproof gusset technology that pulls sweat and other moisture away from the skin, holds it in an absorbent core, and blocks it from leaking through to your clothes. This is not your average pair of panties, it’s sweat management designed for everyday movement, intense workouts, and the hormonal highs and lows that come with periods, postpartum recovery, or menopause. Moisture wicking underwear, like the styles available in our Seamless and Cotton collections, are essential in helping you feel dry and confident, even on your most active or unpredictable days.

Traditional underwear just isn’t built to keep up with the demands of real life. It bunches, clings, and traps sweat, leading to discomfort, odor, and sometimes even embarrassment. With breathable fabrics and flexible designs, our sweat resistant panties are a wearable upgrade that supports your natural cycle and keeps you moving freely. They’re also a sustainable choice, replacing the need for panty liners or frequent outfit changes. For those looking to combine sweat resistance with reliable absorbency, our period underwear collection offers styles that do both, keeping you protected against sweat, discharge, or flow with designs that feel as good as they look.

Who Needs Sweat Proof Underwear, And When Is It Most Helpful?

Sweat proof underwear is for anyone who has ever felt sticky, damp, or uncomfortable throughout the day. Whether it’s caused by heat, stress, movement, or hormones, sweat can affect how you feel in your clothes, and in your body. For menstruators, this moisture can be compounded by light flow, spotting, or discharge, making regular underwear feel insufficient. Saalt’s moisture wicking underwear was created to fill that gap, designed not just for sweat, but for all the ways moisture shows up in daily life. If you’re someone who walks a lot, works long shifts, experiences hot flashes, or just wants a dry, breathable base layer that won’t let you down, this is the upgrade your underwear drawer has been waiting for.

This is especially true during workouts, hot days, or long commutes. Sweat resistant panties that stay in place, wick moisture, and remain odor-resistant are essential for people with active lifestyles or anyone navigating warmer climates. Our breathable workout underwear in the Seamless collection is ideal for physical activity, offering stretch, comfort, and subtle protection without panty lines. If you’re seeking a style that provides both comfort and performance, our comfortable period underwear is a great option for days when you’re relaxing or recovering, though we recommend the Seamless collection for peak sweat days. No matter the activity or flow, there’s a Saalt style that meets your needs.

How Does Saalt’s Technology Actually Work To Prevent Sweat From Becoming A Problem?

Saalt’s sweat proof underwear is engineered to keep you dry, fresh, and protected, without the bulk or stiffness found in traditional absorbent wear. Our patented leakproof gusset is the thinnest and driest available on the reusable market, featuring a triple-layer design that actively wicks sweat away from the skin, locks it in a breathable absorbent layer, and blocks it from reaching your outerwear. This technology ensures that moisture from sweat, discharge, or light flow is managed quickly and discreetly. Moisture wicking underwear like this makes it possible to move through the day with confidence, comfort, and fewer interruptions, no more sudden trips to the restroom or awkward waist-tied sweaters.

What makes Saalt different is our commitment to safety and sustainability in every stitch. We never treat our fabrics with PFAS and do not use any PFAS in our finishes or manufacturing. That means you’re getting anti-sweat underwear that not only performs well but is also kind to your body and the planet. Unlike other brands, Saalt develops all of our products in-house, so every pair of sweat resistant panties meets our strict standards for function, comfort, and ethical sourcing. The result is underwear that feels like it was made for you, because it was.

Which Saalt Styles Are Best For Managing Sweat During Workouts Or Hot Days?

When sweat is part of your daily routine, whether from intense workouts, long commutes, or simply living in a hot climate, you need underwear that keeps up without compromising comfort or style. Our Seamless collection is the best choice for managing sweat during movement-heavy days. This breathable workout underwear is designed with a featherlight, second-skin feel that flexes with your body and remains virtually invisible under clothing. With our patented leakproof gusset inside, you get discreet protection from sweat and moisture without bulk, odor, or discomfort. The smooth, stretchy material helps you stay cool and confident, making Seamless a favorite among athletes, dancers, healthcare workers, and anyone who moves through long, high-sweat days.

Not all styles are created equal for activewear, which is why we don’t recommend our Comfort collection for workouts, though it’s perfect for lounging or cozy days in. Our sweat resistant panties are designed with specific fabrics to match your lifestyle needs, and Seamless is the performance-driven pick for sweat-heavy scenarios. For those looking to add a hint of elevated elegance while managing both sweat and light flow, the lace period underwear offers breathable beauty with all the functionality of Saalt’s patented gusset. No matter your style, you deserve to feel fresh, protected, and free to move.

How Does Saalt's Sweat Proof Underwear Support People During Their Period?

Periods can be unpredictable, especially when mixed with sweat, movement, and changes in flow. That’s why we designed our sweat proof underwear to go beyond just moisture control and offer true support for real-life period care. Here’s how Saalt’s sweat resistant panties are built to support people during their period with comfort, reliability, and ease:

It Offers Built-In Absorbency Without The Bulk

Unlike traditional pads or pantyliners, our patented gusset system absorbs light to regular flow while remaining slim, breathable, and dry to the touch. You won’t feel bulky or restricted, just supported and secure, even on days when your period and sweat show up at the same time. Our moisture wicking underwear allows you to move freely while your underwear quietly does all the work.

It Replaces The Need For Panty Liners

Forget the slipping, bunching, and adjusting of disposable liners. Saalt’s sweat resistant panties are designed to stay in place, manage both sweat and light period flow, and eliminate the discomfort of extra layers. For many users, it becomes a trusted daily solution, not just for periods, but also for spotting, discharge, and unexpected leaks.

It Supports Multiple Flow Levels

Our underwear comes in various absorbencies, so you can choose the level that best fits your cycle, from Light to Super. The cotton period underwear collection, in particular, offers higher absorbency options with a soft, breathable feel, making it ideal for overnight use or heavier days. You’re not locked into one type of product, you can mix, match, and wear what works for your body.

It Works Great As Backup For Cups Or Discs

For those who prefer a menstrual cup or disc, sweat proof underwear adds a layer of confidence. It catches minor leaks or spotting, especially during the learning curve of trying a new reusable method. Our moisture wicking underwear lets you combine solutions without sacrificing comfort or security.

What Styles Are Best For Those Who Want Moisture Protection Without Sacrificing Style?

Sweat proof doesn’t have to mean plain or boring. At Saalt, we believe you deserve functional underwear that also makes you feel confident and beautiful. For those looking to stay dry without compromising style, these sweat resistant panties offer the best of both worlds:

Our Lace & Mesh Collection Blends Elegance With Leak Protection

You don’t have to give up delicate textures or beautiful designs just to stay dry. The Lace & Mesh collection features graceful details and sheer finishes while still incorporating our patented leakproof gusset for light flow or sweat. It’s a style that’s both elevated and engineered for everyday moisture management.

Seamless Styles Deliver Both Subtle Lines And High Performance

If you're looking for smooth coverage that feels invisible under clothing, our seamless period underwear is the go-to option. Designed with ultra-stretchy fabric that hugs the body and stays put, these styles wick away moisture without creating bulk. They're ideal for fitted dresses, leggings, or long days on the move.

Cotton Lovers Don’t Need To Compromise

The softness of cotton paired with our sweat-fighting gusset gives you reliable, breathable coverage that still feels natural against the skin. This style is perfect for those who want a more casual or classic look without losing performance. Our cotton-based moisture wicking underwear handles both sweat and light flow with ease.

Even Thongs Get A Functional Upgrade

Not everyone wants full coverage, especially on lighter days or when sweat is the only concern. Saalt’s thong options are designed with the same moisture-absorbing technology as our other sweat resistant panties, giving you subtle protection in a minimal design. These are ideal for form-fitting outfits or times when comfort and invisibility matter most.
