Thank goodness there is what's known as period (or leakproof) underwear these days. It took us a while to get here, but alas, we made it. No one should have to stuff something in their body or in their underwear if they don’t want to. Not to mention, many of us have allergies to pads and tampons or find products like the Diva Cup uncomfortable.
Slipping on a pair of underwear to hold in the fluids during that time of the month, or if you tend to leak when you sneeze or laugh, is so much easier than having to wear a bulky pad or a pantyliner and change it all the time.
Here is our favorite leakproof underwear that will feel life-changing.

Aerie Real Period Underwear
$20
from
American Eagle
Aerie Period underwear is full coverage and comes in a bunch of cute colors and at a lower price point than most leakproof undies. They are highly absorbent and can take on the fluid that two tampons can hold. They also have an antibacterial and moisture-wicking layer to keep you feeling clean.
Pink
Pink has period underwear that comes in tons of fun colors and patterns. You can also get matching bras, which is a nice option. They offer moderate protection and are a great backup on heavy days. They are made of a smooth, stretchy fabric that’s breathable and traps odors.
Saalt Thing
This thing is the perfect thing to wear when you need protection sans panty lines. It replaces a panty or a small tampon for lighter period days and they are the perfect thing to wear when you are at the gym and want to prevent leaks. They are made out of supersoft recycled polyester and come in sizes XS–XXL.
Hanes Period Panties
Hanes offers panties with light protection and they come in a pack of three. These are the perfect backup when you are wearing a pad or tampon, or are having a light day. The super-absorbent fabric locks moisture away from your skin and is lined in black to prevent stains.
ModiBodi
If bikini bottoms are more your speed, you will love these Modibodi bottoms. They come in a pack of seven and offer light-to-moderate protection, which makes them great for (almost) everyday wear.
