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.

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

How It Fits

  • 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.

    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 Reviews

Overall rating: 4.4 / 5 from 70 reviews.

Great fit, not bulky! Exactly what I was looking for!

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.

Great underwear wife the lace and now leakproof

Great fit. I’m post menopausal and leakage is a problem. These panties are perfect

Bought 2 in every color!

.

Love my panties. Great product 😻

These are really great. They replaced my THINX pair.

So comfortable great fit and absorbency.

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!

So comfortable! Absolutely love!

love them

Love love love!

Really pretty & work great!

These lacy versions are really pretty and do a great job! I will definitely be ordering more

Love that this thong is leak proof and pretty!

So glad this is a thing! My new go-to for daily wear.

Hanky Panky has the fit and absorbency I need.

comfortable sexy great fit. and you cant even tell from the outside how absorbent it is ;)

These are great. The look of hanky panky plus a little extra protection is everything a woman needs.

These are great. The look of hanky panky plus a little extra protection is everything a woman needs.

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!

Super comfortable

Simply the best of both worlds!

Comfortable and pretty. Does the job of protecting from leaks. Highly recommend.

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.

These panties are both pretty and cozy

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.

I like the look and functionality of this thong!

these panties are great, comfortable and fit well

LOVE THESE

Do not think twice, buy them!

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!

I love them, plan to get in more colors. Perfect to stay dry from sweat during Pilates workouts.

Love them! 10/10 highly recommend! From a long time hanky pant fan. (Pretty much all I wear) I was so excited when I saw these. They are so comfortable and work great!!
