Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I had been after a good pair of "Period Panties" over the last year or so. I purchased several off name or no name brands in which even their 4XL seemed more like a USA size 0. I couldn't even get them over my thighs. I also purchase a big brand name and a couple that were advertised as "period panties" but were actually just period "themed" panties :( First of all, I did mark this as "Fit as expected". I normally order things in XL (USA) but took a chance on the largest size that was offered at the time of my order, which was a large. For the most part, I'd have to say that they fit fine since I have flat hips. The waist fit comfortably as did the leg holes, but if I bend over one too many times, the back side will start to slide down and I would eventually feel like my crack was exposed or that I needed to pull it up. Sometimes, even my regular panties and pants do this so I didn't think anything of it. I wear a size 14-16 pants. 14 is too small and 16 is too large. The large Anigan "Hipster" panties still fit and worked fine, but an XLarge would be more comfortable for me. I really think it depends on your body shape as to how these will fit you. If you have a larger booty or nice full hips, unlike me, then you might want to order a size up. I see that they will have an XLarge in April (2017). I'll definitely be back for a set of those! Since Thinx are the big brand name these days, I will compare them to the single "Hiphugger" style that I have. They seem to be made of the same materials: Body - Nylon and Spandex (or Elastane. According to Google they're the same thing but the word "Spandex" is more commonly used only in USA) Middle - PUL, Cotton and Spandex (Elastane) Inner - Cotton and Spandex (Elastane) The outside of my Thinx panties are silky, while the outside of my Anigan panties are like tights (leggings) fabric. The Anigan panties stretch better in the hip areas. PUL fabric itself is not a very stretchy fabric. The areas that are lined for absorbency and coverage do not stretch as much as the areas that are NOT lined. I personally find the hip areas more breathable on the Anigan panties and they seem to dry faster (air dry). The absorbency/coverage on the Anigan panties are completely to the waist band front AND back. It also flares out a bit to cover a larger section on the bum. My Thinx panties only covers the crotch area. Again, I only have the single pair so I'm not sure how the coverage is on their other styles. If you're a front or back bleeder, this doesn't "catch em' all". I poured 15ml (1/2 oz.) water on them (I know water will act different than blood) to see if liquid would get absorbed quickly or sit on the fabric. See video if you're interested. I haven't used the Anigan panties on their own yet. I've only used them as back up and I'm glad that I did because my menstrual cup leaked this week :( A few times. I only had the Anigan panties on for one of those times, but I'm glad I did because I would have had to strip my bedding. Overall, I think these are a good buy. If you have a light to moderate flow, you could probably use these without any problems. I'll probably use them for stress incontinence issues when they offer an xlarge size. For now, the large will do. I WISH that I had some of these when I was in school. I've suggested them to my sister for her young daughters!
