These are some of the best period boxers out there.

There are several ways to manage your period—you can use tampons, pads or even menstrual cups. But there’s a new way you haven’t tried yet: period boxers. They’re great for comfort and discretion, and they’re also an alternative to tampons and pads. The best part is you can find ones that are reusable too. WUKA states that you can “Replace tampons, pads and menstrual cups with reusable WUKA period pants.”

If you’re thinking about trying out this alternative, here are some of the best types period underwear for a comfortable time:

Period Boyshort

A period boyshort is a type of underwear that comes with a built-in liner, allowing you to wear the garment even when you’re on your period. If you’re looking for something discreet and comfortable to wear during your time of the month, then this might be the right choice for you.

To use one correctly:

• Wash it in cold water and then tumble dry on low heat.
• Lay out your clean period boyshorts on a flat surface so they can air dry overnight or until they’re completely dry

Period Hipster

Hipster underwear are your best bet if you have a high waistline, or if you want to cover your butt. Hipsters typically have a higher waistline than boyshorts or briefs and can also be worn with or without pantyhose, depending on your preference (and whether they come in a non-white color). Hipster-style pads fit into this category as well as brands like Modibodi and Dear Kate.

If you’re looking for an option that provides coverage but isn’t too bulky, hipster styles may be right for you. They will still provide coverage on the front and back of your body while providing extra protection against leaks—but unlike full-coverage styles like thongs or boy shorts/briefs, they won’t feel uncomfortable by day two of wearing them during your period.

Period Thong

Thong-style underwear is a great choice for those looking for something that provides front and back coverage. The absorbent core of this style is designed to fit comfortably, and it can easily be washed after use. Thongs are also easy to wear with any outfit—you can pair them with jeans or leggings during the day, or wear them under your favorite dresses at night.

Thongs are perfect for anyone who wants a secure fit that allows you to stay fresh all day long. They come in many styles and colors so you’ll be able to find one that fits your personal style perfectly!

Period Hi-Waist Panty

• For women who have a slightly heavier flow and for those who want to wear their menstruation like a badge of honour, period underwear is the answer. The high waistband of these panties ensures that you can wear your pants on the days of your cycle without anyone noticing that you’re bleeding.

There are many options for period underwear, and the best one will depend on your body shape, lifestyle, and how often you menstruate. We hope that this article has been helpful in learning more about your options and deciding which ones might be right for you!
