  • Body: 100% Nylon
  • Waistband: 88% Nylon, 12% Spandex
  • Leg Trim: 87% Nylon, 13% Spandex
  • Lining: 92% recycled polyester, 8% elastane, polyurethane

  • 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!

  • 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!

Customer video review of hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

I am impressed that I can feel comfortable and confident all at the same time. I have pcos so I have been very cautious about what I use on my body. I love that this helps grab any liquid that comes my way. I love that it doesn’t roll or tug at me. I like that I can be free and relaxed not having to overly stress on my period. I love the design aspect of it and the comfort and protection it provides me.

Customer video review of hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

The Hanky Panky plus is a major upgrade to uncomfortable pads that bunch up and never stay in place. I’ve tried other period briefs before but they’re super thick and awkward to wear. These briefs are really cute and comfortable even with how absorbent they are.

Customer video review of hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

These are great. Underwear. They absorb a lot and they're comfortable and the lace just makes you feel cute when you're at your absolute trolliest. I love these and I would recommend these to any woman who has a.

hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

The brief's are comfortable and make me feel confident I will not have my leaks show through my clothes. Plus the lacey look makes me feel feminine, not damaged.

Customer video review of hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

I’ve always loved Hanky Panky underwear so I’m so excited about these Hanky Panky + powered by Saalt. They’re so pretty and have nice soft stretchy lace, along with a really absorbent layer for your period.

hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

These are so comfortable! Will definitely be buying more. Lace is cute, but sturdy, and the liner is thin enough that it doesn't feel bulky.

hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

The French brief is amazingly comfortable and sexy. Definitely fits big and I had to exchange it for a smaller size. And then unfortunately, one pair of three that was exchanged for a smaller size came as a V-qini rather than the French brief. Still comfortable enough and I didn’t want to do the exchange again since I had to pay shipping, but definitely not my favorite style.

hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

I just got my Panties and they fit and look beautiful. I am going to order different colors. Haven’t worn them for a full day but will wear them to work this week. Excited!

hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

These fit perfectly and the leakproof gusset really works! I use them to catch drips from pee when I cough or laugh too hard. Works like a charm. The only thing I’m not keen on is that the lace between my legs sometimes scratches or itches. But it’s not so bad that I’ll stop buying these!

hanky panky+ [powered by Saalt] French Brief

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.

These hanky panky briefs are crazy comfy and cute too! I had to exchange my first batch for a different size; but Saalt is great with their return and exchange policy, so no complaints there. I ended up exchanging for a size down. I usually wear medium/size 8 in pants and underwear, but medium hanky panky felt baggy on me. Size small fits perfectly!

This underwear fits well. I was a little surprised at that as I usually have trouble finding pretty underwear. They are comfortable which is a pleasure. I'm so thankful for that. I will be ordering more colors and trying different styles. Thank you so much for a really beautiful product! TH.
