Buying tampons or sanitary pads once a month is not exactly the most exciting way to spend your money. One solution I’ve found is investing in the best period pants. A comfortable yet effective alternative to single-use period products, a pair of period pants can replace 100 (or more) disposable pads or tampons.
Comprised of several absorbent layers, moisture-wicking materials and reliable leak-proofing, period pants can hold around two to five tampons’ worth of blood. And it’s recommended that you change period underwear every eight to 12 hours for regular flow, or every four to eight hours on days where your flow is heavy.
