Hi Ellbat! I have a cold too 🤧
Bruhhhhh I'm on by period rn and I'm dying
Common to your other vids I as a man didn't need to see this but because I support you as always I watched anyway . Of coarse it was well informitive for those it may concern as well still fun and light hearted . Good vid ellbat , but this also may be why you have 500k subs but less than 100k views . Maybe do some fillers with reaction vids like I mentioned or other easy stuff to fill some gaps and test the waters . But as always love the vids , much love to you , you already know . And p.s I hope Jean had a good first stream experience
@@cme_epicness hope you're ok!!! Get better soon ! x
@@kevinc1263 love you !!! Thank you for the suggestion !!! Jean's stream went v well, he did amazing ! Thank you so much for being so generous - you're the best and your support is incredible !! x
"4 tampons worth of blood"
I didn't know tampons were a form of measurement now
I figured it would be the easiest way to explain the quantity given the context 😂 but imagine if we did measure all blood in tampons lmaaoooo
how are you everywhere
Be honest are you also simping for this girl or are you actually female?
😂
kevin k 😱toxic masculinity is illegal 🤬(I’m half joking but there’s nothing wrong with respecting women)
unrelated but: the amount of people that pretend to be u on tinder is not even funny
you're kidding, surely not??? If you find someone please tweet me a screenshot !!!
@@Ellbat I dont have twitter but I could dm u on insta? I literally got 2 this morning!
@@janep1072 YES DO IT PLEASE !!!
@@Ellbat done ✔
Really wthh that's so weird
honestly you're a gem for trying this and the menstrual cups as well, so many people don't really get proper reviews of the experiences and you're helping so many people out!!
You're so sweet ! Thank you darling, have a fantastic day whatever you're up to !!
Yes thank you so much this makes me consider getting them and not spending as much money on everything else thank you 🙏🏼
It bugs me that you don’t have more subscribers, wish other tubers had half the ideas and originality that your channel does
This is so sweet im honestly quite emotional reading that haha. You're way too kind - I hope you're having the best day love !!
Facts she deserves more she out here helping n educating us
I so agree! I mean i just found her channel earlier this week, but ive been binging the content and it is amazing! By far one of my favs already ❤❤
* cough cough * safiya nygaard
Honestly, your period “series” is so insightful because I’ve considered these but was very afraid of the things like smell and general feel so THANK YOU. Taking one for the team as usual 😭😭😭
I highly recommend period underwear, start with one instead of buying a ton, but thinx lets you return them so its a good place to start!
I was definitely questioning the smell cause 👀 but I'm actually glad to hear that they dont! so
Your period blood doesn’t naturally have a smell other than a general metallic blood smell - a lot of the nasty smell associated with periods come from the blood interacting with the fragrances on traditional period products. I’ve never had a smell with a period cup ♥️ I wonder about the undies but I’m sure it wouldn’t be as bad as traditional products!
@@vees_magic_barbell my undies didn't and I wore them over night, just rinse them very well and hang dry every single time
Ya gotta admit that sponsor transition was the literal definition of _smooth._
It really was damn
"mom i found out a new way to save money each week! just buy a period cup/panty!"
"from where did you learn those exist...?"
"WELL.... uhhhh... so theres this youtuber i watch called ellbat..."
**30 mins later**
"noah... your a male 13 year old, may i ask why you watch this kind of content...?"
im not even kidding this conversation actually happened a few hours ago. ya maybe i shouldnt tell my mom ideas how to save money anymore... atleast ones involving periods or similar things...
😄..can we be friends:P
@@leah9656 im down tho it wasnt meant for mE
- Jossy - alright
Honestly, as a cis male, these look incredibly comfortable lol
This is adorable ☺️
HER: go buy the earphones and then listen to the sound
me: buy's them
gets them in a week
returns to the video after a week where i left
ME: now I can listen to the sound of a cloth 😃
This is one of those channels that is BRUTALLY HONEST about that time of the month and I absolutely love it because it's SO relatable!! Thx ❤
I'm so proud that you picked to use the boyshorts. I'm not nb or trans, but I like to dress more masculine, I feel comfortable that way. I have been peeking at thinxs for a while. I'm really happy you reviewed them.
edit, june 3rd: yeah so I'm non binary
edit, july 14, 2023: ive been a trans guy for a year now
Plus women's underwear just sucks. No, I don't like the feeling of my underwear crawling up my butt. Why is ALL female underwear designed that way? It's so uncomfortable.
@@LordofFullmetal well, depends what kind you wear. I wear like full coverage, and it doesn't do that, maybe try different ones to see what makes you the most comfortable.
Ruby is also a really nice brand for period underwear
Meanwhile I feel like the less coverage the better. Love me a good thong way more than boy shorts or the like 😅
@@Jazz-nr7nk and that's fine too! Whatever you feel comfortable wearing is great. I personally prefer briefs and shorts. They make me feel good. If thongs and g strings make you feel good, go ahead!
My 12yr old daughter prefers period underwear, and to be honest I prefer her to wear them. She doesn’t have to worry about pads while at school, or the potential issues with a pad related malfunction. She got hers from a trip to Australia and it was a 5 or 7 pack with different styles (hipster brief, boy short, etc) it wasn’t a large brand type and they weren’t as expensive as ones you got. The fabric is also very similar to a pair of cotton underwear. She’s been using them for over a year, with no ‘accidents’ or nighttime spillage. The underwear themselves have really held up, with minimal discolouration. (underwear is a light grey colour with red elastic waistband). 10/10 worth it and would buy again.
What brand is it if you know?
@@yourkingdwarf ModiBodi , it was the grey multi pack which is now no longer for sale. Looks like they’ve revamped their colours and styles. Prices start from about £20 for a single pair.
Plus it's so much cheaper in the long run. They're very expensive off the bat, but you have to remember they'll last YEARS - unlike pads or tampons, which you have to buy every month. Plus it's a really easy way to reduce waste in landfill, because all the other positives make it really convenient to make the switch.
I use modi bodi and they are great
I’ve seen a few ads for that brand, I’m Aussie and I’ve seen more options crop up. Bonds also has got a line for their own period underwear too.
I'm so glad u reviewed period underwear!! I have a relatively light flow and have been using them for a while now and frikin love em. For anyone living in Europe, an alternative brand (the one i bought mine from) is Femtis. They're a german, eco friendly brand and are a lot cheaper than thinx. Hope this helps someone
Laura Mal ooo, I might have to have a look
You might also try modi bodi underwear as well. :)
I’m not from germany unfortunately. however I appreciate you spreading the word about eco friendly products that could help people save money. Cheers!
@@thesleepydot oh I’m not from Germany either, they ship internationally I’m pretty sure!
I have a question 🙋♀️ where do the uterus clumps go?
Sitting here doing french homework, then I hear the intro and I'm like
"I'm in french 2 not spanish ;-;"

awww, she knows what Dysphoria is. we love an educated queen. im a trans woman but i watch all your videos so LMAO idc what they're about.
Do you mind explaining what dysphoria is?
@@fbchudkdbdhc898 Gender Dysphoria is the feeling of incongruence between your gender and sex. for some trans people it's worse than others, personally my Dysphoria is really bad and makes me super uncomfortable. for others it could be better or worse. Dysphoria manifests its way through a feeling of discomfort with my sex. so my genitalia, male secondary sex characteristics, masculine hands etc etc they all make me dysphoric
@@sahara.5208 im sorry you feel that way, and thanks for informing me! im always willing to learn more about the opposite genders
@@chloesapphirehall1258 aww ty queen ♥️
Thanks for educating us! I personally am just now learning too.
My relationship with night pads is not the greatest either. Possible TMI, but using pads overnight went wrong so many times that I decided to use tampons instead. I'd rather set an alarm and change my tampon at 3 am than ruin my sheets, pajamas and mood.
Why not use both at the same time? I do!
For me the unstoppable "morning flow" that a tampon and pad together can't handle only happens in the morning when I stand up, so I just has to be fast to the toilet lol
Katarina Herlitz I do this ahahah it’s so much less effort 😂😂
Yeah honestly I hate pads with a passion. Luckily I have a light flow so in the morning I get up and immediately run to the bathroom as the floodgates open. Its worked pretty well so far. Only one time where I had a medium flow and period blood just ran down my leg and traumatized me lol.
I have super heavy periods sorry tmi. But I put on a diaper on heavy nights so much more comfortable then wearing a tampon and a pad.
I just use a cup xD you get up to 12hrs to change it and can sleep thru the night lol
I finally have my period back after years of ed and then the pill. Now artificial hormone free and so excited to have my period 🙌🏻❤️
Skyler Emmerson that’s amazing!!!! i’m so happy for you!!
I can't imagine being happy to get it lmao
Not bleeding through a night pad in a day would be great
@@fulicious2991 I never get mine bc of pcos, finally got it yesterday after nearly a year!!! So happy to still have a chance at being fertile lol
awwh im SO happy for you congrats✨
@@fulicious2991 Right? Now that I'm on the pill, I get the best case scenario of "mildly inconvenient". Before I went on the pill, it was more "in so much pain I'm basically useless".
I do understand why you'd be excited for it if you've been dealing with medical issues, though. It's basically a text from mother nature saying "you're not pregnant btw, but you COULD get pregnant if you wanted to"; and that's a big deal for some women.
As a person who can’t use tampons or cups, having any other option is a bonus. I have so much anxiety when I go to bed/waking up in the morning.
Why can’t you use them?
@@ritzdrawz2570 tmi warning: i have whats called a septate hymen so tampons/cups would get stuck and there is nothing more anxiety inducing then not being able to remove those
Oh I’m sorry about that sorry if that made you uncomfortable Oof 😅
@@ritzdrawz2570 no worries, im not bothered. its a thing i didnt even know existed until i was pregnant and my obgyn mentioned it. seen my family doctor for years and never talked about it.
if your scared about sleeping on ur period with pads, I recommend night time pads by kotex. also u should get tight black pj's and a dark towel. u can fold a towel down on ur bed and sleep on it so u don't have to worry about messing up ur sheets. I just use an old blanket. I really hope this helps cos I don't wear tampons/cups either :)
I have a few pairs of Thinx and I absolutely love them because I sometimes even forget I'm on my period. They're that comfortable!
That being said, I cannot wear them on my heavy days for very long as I start to leak around the crotch outer seams. Although they claim 3-4 tampons worth of absorbency, that really only is if you are evenly distributing the blood around the underwear, which to my understanding, most vaginas do not.
I’m just sitting here doing Spanish homework and then hear the intro- 😂
Edit:Y’all are blowing up my notifications while I’m in class ironically I’m in Spanish 😂
HAHAHA
In a hilarious twist, i was doing Japanese homework and got a Playstation ad to open the video 😂😂
@@Ellbat JAJAJA*
Dude i just watched this doing my spanish homework as well💀
Biology here
There is such thing is reusable pads which got go in the wash and if they stain then just use stain remover, works great. They are comfortable, sanitary, and more affordable. Also, if you live in they UK there is a company called smoll and they do eco friendly detergent products.
Hope I helped someone out there, enjoy. 😊
Reusable pads are the best!!! And if you're good at sewing you can actually make them yourself, I made mine out of an old flannel shirt and a fleece blanket.
Agreed! I love them! Loads of small sustainable sellers!
Idk abt u guys but this channel has officially turned into a reviewing period “gadgets” which am not mad abt🙂
I mean, if they stand the test of time, they probably save you a lot of money on tampons and pads in the long run so the price doesn't seem that bad to me
True !! But it’s that classic case of: you still need that £40 upfront and for low-income people, they don’t. You’ll only have £2 at that time which you’ll have to spend on pads. You can’t save towards it so you end up spending more long term on pads than the person who could afford to buy this underwear. It’s a horrible case of wealth is needed to buy quality to save money :(
@@Ellbat Oh I absolutely agree
get a menstrual cup instead ! they completely reduce your waste, and they last up to 10 years so they're really cheap on the long run (i know this sounds sponsored or sumthing but i just started using one and it's a total game changer)
@@alexa9723 i know menstrual cups are good, but not everyone feels comfortable using 'invasive' products. personally, (bit TMI) i have very short fingers and dont have a great range of movement or 'reach' trying to grab something from up there, and there's probably some people in the same position as me
I'm the 70th person to comment and 335th person to like.

Bout to buy myself a cup and some panties cause dang I’m tired of pads
yay !!
Omg,that spanish!

my Spanish is an insult to all Spanish speakers lmao

I'm now convinced a white British ellbat voiced Dora
I was JUST thinking about buying these like half an hour before you posted (although I read somewhere that thinx ones have toxic parts in them?), but I wanted to ask how did you wash them? On their own or by hand or..?
also thanks for mentioning the needs of non-binary people!! I love it when you do that
Hi! What I understand from the brand ModiBodi (i bought my pair of period underwear over there) is to first run it under cold water till the water is clear. After that it is best to hand wash it or else throw it together with your basic laundry on low setting. BUT BY ALL MEANS, DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DRYER! It will ruin your period underwear!
@@marissjex oh that makes sense, thank you :)!
@@daalokos You also shouldn't use fabric conditioner with them as it decreases the absorbency.
“Mentioning the needs of non-binary people”
You mean woman who have vaginas and have periods who still need to use menstrual products? Yeah, what a hero.
@@nottechytutorials They meant the dysphoria that many nb people and trans men experience due to their periods. You can’t wear pads with certain underwear (that they may wish to wear so they don’t feel dysphoric) and tampons often cause a lot of dysphoria. Ok yes their biological sex is female but their gender is not, so don’t call them women. No one said she was a hero, just that it’s good that she is being inclusive in a society which acts like nb people don’t exist. Why does it bother you so much that people are being inclusive? Honestly get a life.
real men can watch this video
Why? They don’t get periods. I don’t why they have to know every single thing about women’s hygiene... Unless this is supposed to be some sick transphobic joke. I don’t know why you have to insult a guy’s level of “manliness” simply because they don’t want to watch a video that will never concern them in their life...
@@jamiecisfemalesheher5250 a lot of men have such fragile masculinity that even the idea of women in any way that isn't sexual, will give them 3 aneurisms and a heart attack.
@@woman4220 isn’t that like.... toxic masculinity in itself? you’re literally saying all men think about is sex... that’s literally toxic masculinity-
@Grace Hwang okay, but it still doesn’t make them any less of a man if they simply get a little light headed hearing about the topic. they aren’t like us where we’re exposed to the sight of blood every month. and a lot of people, as by the looks of the previous commenter, believe that all men think about is sex and violence. when in actual fact, an overwhelming majority of men will faint at the sight of blood. i’m not saying they shouldn’t learn about it, but it would make sense if they get a little light headed hearing about the topic. not because they think it’s disgusting or because they simply don’t care, but because it’s actually a little light heading to hear about the other gender bleeding from their genitals.
@@jamiecisfemalesheher5250 I'm not saying that all men think about is sex, I'm saying that a lot of them are afraid of the non sexual part of women. Many refuse to learn of the struggles women face because they aren't women.
honestly ive learned more from ellbat than from school
That transition into the ad… way to smooooth 😂
I am so grateful for this upload while I am facing what feels like the worst day I ever will. A smile was on my face right from the intro. Thank you ellbat ❤️
Hope your okay ♡ xx
Are you ok? I hope your day improves my love x
i’m so sorry about your day bb. i hope it gets so so much better. you’ve got people thinking of you!! you’ve got this.
"The boyshorts are great for trans and non-binary people."
Me, a cis women: "I want them, because boyshorts are more comfortable than normal underwear."
you don’t realise how excited i got when i seen the notification for this video 😃
hehe bless u !! you're the best
Man I miss online class. I’m in Norway, and we go to school at school, and I miss not having to interract with people ;-;
Honestly same from England here🙄😂
samee 😭
can't relate :( I'm stuck in America 😩
Opposite, I miss in person school 😪
I’ve completely switched to the cup and underwear and both are so much better than tampons and pads and it makes me feel good knowing that it’s better for the environment
Me too !!!! 💗
You should do a video about using an epilator I literally watched this video while using one for the first time and I'm so dead
bro I use one on my armpits. STABBING KNIVES !!!!
@@Ellbat I CANT EVEN SURVIVE MY LEGS, HOW?!?
if i may ask without offending anyone what is that? i would like to be more educated!
@@glitxch4668 like an electric razor, only it grabs the hair and pulls them out, individually and it is PAIN personified!
The first time is always the worst! My legs stayed red for many hours after the first epilation. But after that it's easy; doesn't hurt that much at all.
Had a hysterectomy almost 2 years ago, I'm a mom of 3 boys..... still watch ellbat's period related videos hahaha
As a trans guy, I really appreciate the inclusivity of this video.
As much as I want to support this, Thinx tested positive for PFAS. Most all period underwear aren't known to be 100% safe except for Luna Pads Maia Panties. They seem very inclusive as well and seem to have good reviews. They've tested negative for PFAS. Note that there's around 4,700 different PFAS chemicals and most of these period underwear companies only test a few. In the end, not only should we worry about helping the environment, but we also have to worry about our bodies.
thank you for talking about the accessibility stuff. i have an IUD and don't get my period anymore, but this product could have been an absolute game-changer for me if it had been around back when i still had periods. i was never able to use tampons and dealing with pads was always such a nightmare. glad someone is out there bringing awareness to this stuff.
I have an IUD, too, mine was put in almost a year ago and I still get some spotting that really doesn't warrant tampons or pads, so I might consider getting a pair of light coverage ones to save my actual underwear! I don't know, we'll see 🤔
I’m on the Depo shot and I haven’t had mine in about 2 and a half months now it took it about 9 months to stop my period completely and the cup was an amazing purchase before I started my birth control. I could never wear pads for personal reasons so that is an amazing option too
I finally took the plunge and got period panties and they are the best! The first couple months I was worried I would leak and not know when to change but I have never leaked or had problems. I did the math and with all the different pads I would buy they pay for themselves in about 6 months which is great. Ordered a pack from 'Your Moon Time'. So glad to reduce my waste and cost.
Have had mine for 4 or 5 years now, and I love them. If you can pair them with a cup as well you don’t really have to think about pads and tampons anymore. It’s a big sum to pay out at once, but in the long run you have one less monthly fee, and you end up saving quite a bit.
I am a Grandma and past needing fem hygiene products. I was curious how young women coped now that we are more conscious of how much each person can help to clean our planet up. Your ecperience and report are both educational and interesting to watch. Keep up your great work.
the intro KILLED me
im so glad someone liked it lmao
@@Ellbat oh yeah, death is so fun 🤔😂
Hiiii I love youu, I can't believe I'm this early
hello !! welcome darling
I too hate the word “panties,” but even more I hate when brands call the underwear of grown women “undies”
They are undies
Undies
*bloody* hell
appreciate the use of *bold* there
I feel like this would be really good for places and communities that experience period poverty. Two pairs would last for a long time for an individual.
Lmao I _just_ started my period today too. Wow
Edit: Why am I just now realizing that the time you upload anything period related is usually during my week
Welcome to hell... ENJOY😂😂💜
Me too... Laying on the bed... Having that Menstrual Cramps.
HELP
Welcome to a situation where you don't want to be in
The word panties does indeed make me want to throw up a tiny bit, hate it.
I hate it too!!
IM EARLY AND DUNNO WHAT TO COMMENT SOHOLA
HOLA SOY DORA
Genuinely love how inclusive this is. Some people take the mick if they hear "people who have periods" which annoys me so much because they don't understand the difficulty that trans/non-binary people can have during periods etc. So good to see that other people can empathise!!!
literally cried, don't even know why actually I do that's a lie, when she said she went for the boyshorts because she wanted to be inclusive and have this benefit trans & nb ppl too. you're so unfailingly nice and mindlessly inclusive, never stop. the only thing better than someone who tries hard to be inclusive is the person who doesn't need to try.
i love how inclusive she is. like i’m not trans or anything but it still made me smile
I’m a dude this was in my recommended and this video was bloody informative
Im so glad !! Information is power king
bloody, you say?
I actually bought myself a few pairs last year when Thinx was having a sale (and I was working 60hrs/week at the time) and genuinely I love them. I honestly should’ve purchased a size up for the boy shorts because they’re so tight around the top of my thighs, but that’s my only issue with them (and that’s a me problem not theirs!). I agree with the price being too high, because I genuinely love the product and wish more people would be able to afford it, but I absolutely LOVE your idea of a giveaway!! That’s so kind and I hope the people that win love them as well ❤️
i literally love ellbat, she’s so inclusive to everyone. i found her on my recommendations and i can’t stop watching her, she deserves so much hype. she’s my favorite youtuber i’ve ever found on this app, i absolutely love her!!
For a second I thought you were speaking Portuguese at the beginning XD I was kinda disappointed ahah
I would probably butcher that poor language too - be grateful it was Spanish ahahahaha
@@Ellbat Hahahah if you want I could suggest some videos about the Portuguese language, taking you brits and we Portuguese are the oldest allies in the world! :D XD Btw thanks for the wee heart :3 Big fan of your videos :DDD
Wow for some reason this was recommended to me?! I’m a bloke. Weird! I think RUclips broke! But...colour me impressed, very informative and educational (yes ladies I learnt something 😜). Great presentation making an awkward (for a bloke) subject understandable. Well done Ellbat keep it up.
I love how she includes trans and nonbinary people. God I love her
I think the price is not bad at all, considering the fact you're saving A LOT of money on pads and tampons. So in the long run, you'll be saving money. It's an investment
I wonder "how long" you could use them... Like... How many periods 🤔 because I mean if they are usable for a long time, maybe years (?) the price might be even or lower than all of tampons/pads added up, you know?
When washed properly and depending on how many pairs you have (do you have one pair a day per period, or are you washing and reusing the same pair throughout one period cycle) they probably last a min of 2 years.
Woooo she’s back!!!!
I have RETURNED
@@Ellbat *applause*
I haven't started my period and I am 14 so my mum got a little.e worried and took me to the doctors 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈 butturns out I am just a late bloomer lmao they said I probably won't start till I am 16 🤣 I am happy about that but I hope I do get my period so I can have kids when I am older xxx love your videos
I honestly love Thinx. Going from tampons and pads to cups and period underwear has been such a great thing for me. I always wear the bikini style during the day when I’m at work since I walk a ton and then the boy short and sleep shorts at night. It’s made such a difference in not only my day to day life but my bank account. Sounds like an ad/paid review but it’s true. And rhymes...
Who else is on or just started their period when they found this video 🤔😅
I find that because I live with 2 older sisters along with myself the prices for products are through the roof. Depending on what we have it can be £20 or more per month so stuff like this would be great if it was more accessible. Especially as when I first started I used to adapt underwear with the pad inside of the actual material, but it would take a lot of work to keep having to either create new pairs of underwear or just changing the pads in general.
Hi love, not sure if Tom Organic is available in the UK but I got my underwear from them for 15 AUD which is about £8.30, and 3 pairs works fine for me. It might be a bit costly to get them all in one go but they’re still slightly cheaper than Modibody (and heaps more affordable than Thinx). The quality probably isn’t as high as other brands but they’re functional.
Sir Poopdi Thanks for the info I’ll be sure to look out for that company! 😄
“it’s quite tight, very stretchy” 💀
But if you think of all the money you spend on tampons and pads every month, the price of the underwear is actually a good offer, cause you can reuse them
In lieu of night time pads, didn't it ever occur to you to sleep hanging upside down like a bat? No leaking... Until you get up to go to the bathroom in the morning and leave a crime scene 🤔😂
As a closeted enby, I want these, periods are so stressful. I love how inclusive you are, ellbat! I’m not subbed to you on this account yet, whoops.

Okay, I want to just say that her con (it was expensive), though true, also could have another side to it. Though they are expensive at the time, the amount of money that is spent throughout about a year would be a lot more than (according to when I checked) $38. I think that these COULD (emphasis on could) actually be an investment.
Ok how have i never heard of period panties 😳😳
I mean period underwear is great but it is so so expensive, but for us in the UK, I recommend ModiBodi because they're either based in Britain or have some sort of store here because the shipping is much cheaper
There’s also a UK based brand called WUKA as another alternative ☺️
I bought from CheekyWipes :)
its all well and good until you get **clumpy blood**
You didn't speak about the cleaning process! Do you just throw them in the washing machine after wearing them and can you put them in the dryer? Great video, would def want to enter that contest XD
Just through them in a cold wash !! They're super easy to clean !! Sorry I completely forgot hahahaha x
That was my question... I was scared actually... About cleaning um... That all up. That is great though and thank you!!!
I wash them on a cold short wash cycle and hang them to dry. If I wash first thing in the morning and hang right away, they are usually dry by the evening.
You are not supposed to use a dryer because it breaks the material down. They will be ok if you accidentally throw them in the dryer a few times, but don't do it regularly.
I've been scrolling for ages to find someone asking this question. Really should have been included in the video.
Eww I hate the word panties. It’s just not something anyone should say. Yuck. I can’t explain it but yuck. That’s nasty🤮
I Would Think that it is cheaper buying these underwear for me, my periods usually last 2 weeks. So it would be cheaper buying some of these!
I have really been looking into period underwear recently and the one thing that is putting me off it is the price, it is insane and I know it would be worth it but getting one pair for a 5-7 day period is tough. I have seen some on M&S and sainsburys which I am tempted to get but I haven't seen any reviews but they are around £10-£15 which is so much better!
I've bought some period panties from Adore Me and they're SO much cheaper and I absolutely love them! The designs are super cute, I even have a white pair but they are so leak proof with the inside black fabric it's not even a concern. 100% recommend.
Too bad I didn't learn about these before I started birth control pills to deal with my period lol. My periods are naturally extremely painful to the point where I used to curl up in bed in the fetal position and try not to cry from the pain, even after taking 6 ibuprofen pills in a day. The bleeding was so heavy I had to wear both a pad and tampon at the same time and still change them every 3 hours to avoid leaks.. Now that I'm on the pill my periods have completely vanished except for some mild cramping that only lasts an hour or two, and there's no bleeding. I also have no more PMS at all and my hormonal acne has completely cleared up!
Also the SATISFACTION of washing them in cold water before going in the machine is a guilty pleasure 😂😂
I’d love to see you try cloth period pads next!
I use them every month and I love them. They’re much more affordable than period underwear. Ones with a zorb core are very absorbent but thin, so it doesn’t feel like a nappy.
i clicked so fast
WELCOME HELLO !!!!
I love that you are inclusive and eco friendly and give people an alternative to the normal period stuff. I never thought I would want to try something different than pads,but those panties and the cup look really good.
Also thank you for making periods a topic that can be spoken about!
I myself don't even like to talk about my own period because of the taboo everyone has, but you break this taboo and just review period panties on youtube while being monetised.
I salute to you
Keep doing you
damn, ellbats back and she’s back to talking about her relationship with her period already...
I tried these, and yes, the sizing does tend towards the small side.
For me, I think I was a bit too enthusiastic and used my only pair on day 2 for about 6 hours, and well...it felt exactly like I was wearing a wet bikini bottom. After that, I lost trust in them which is a shame, as they would be good for day 3 and 4.
Oh, and YESSSSSS, I don't care if it's TMI, but overnight pads? I have to wear shorts to bed as well, I can't lie on my stomach or my back AT ALL, and even though the pads are extra long, the wonders (horrors) of gravity mean that if I accidentally roll over onto my back or stomach in my sleep, there will still be...issues...right up to the top elastic of my underpants, front and/or back! (Yet not that much stuff in the middle of the actual pad itself).
Ugh. lol
I am so glad I found your channel 🤗 (about a year ago!) You are so unfiltered, raw (in the good way!), Honest, so open about everything! It helps so many people feel better about themselves. Also how non-judgmental and open minded you are is admirable 😉✌💞 This universe needs more people like you, seriously! I love your video subjects, and how you're not shy or scared to say whats you really think. Never ever change! 🥰 Lots of Love and support from the Florida Keys, USA ✌💚
This is not only a great investment, but they’re environmentally friendly AND you can finally stop staining and ruining your normal everyday underwear! Definitely need to invest in this! I’m not too comfortable w the idea of the diva cup 😂 but this seems like a better alternative for myself!
i only just started my period im 13 but my mum got me modibodi pants! i lowkey look forward to wearing them theyre more comfortable than normal underwear, and i think theyre a uk brand but theyre a lot cheaper than thinx, free shipping and also have bayshorts and other styles! i love the full brief ones personally. definately reccomend!
modibodi is brilliant, I wear them in the night and they amaze me! I’m 14, just started as well
I think it's Australian

3 months ago, my life changed forever. I live in a complex where we share a laundry room. People leave things there that they do not need such as clothes, food, and other stuff, so people who need it can take it. I saw some adult diapers there, they had been there for a few months, so I knew no one wanted them. I took them and tried them for my period. OMG my life is so changed. I have used them for two periods now and I will never use pads for my heavy days again. I actually think that they make my period shorter because I do not clench up trying to keep myself from flowing out on to my panties. I just let go and let it flow and it is glorious. Then I throw them away after a day. I use like 2 or 3 for an entire period instead of 8 or 9 pads. I know that the ones she’s talking about would be more environmental but I’m not ready to trust them yet. Maybe soon but not yet. All in all, any form of period panties or adult diapers are amazing and life changing for periods.
That’s awesome. It’s actually shocking that no one has really thought of doing this or talked about doing it. Probably cause of stigma. I would definitely try those if they’re undetectable through pants
@@kee7374 as long as you get a good brand then they are. I wouldn't wear them under leggings but anything with some structure would be fine. Even skirts.
That is cool that they're so inclusive. What would be more comfortable for trans and non binary people never crossed my mind. When i get paid I'm gonna buy a pair. Let's hope asos has them in stock not trynna pay customs either.
I feel like everyone has a cold rn! I have a cold, my sister has a cold, everyone in my school has a cold...
I have a cold tooooo... 😥
Rona?
You are so funny and likeable . Every time I watch your videos my mood improves straight away!
I just can’t stand the thought of these. I may be able to use them as a backup for my other period products, but my bleeding is WAY too heavy for these. I also don’t have a washer in my apartment, so it’s not worth it for me. I can understand if you have a machine and a more reasonable level of bleeding.
yeah sameee
I wouldn't completely write them off, reusable products generally absorb much more than single use ones. My friend that's got endometriosis and bleeds like crazy used to think the same but now she swears by reusable pads, can go at least twice as long before having to change and has saved a significant amount of money because of how much she was having to buy before. She has some panties but prefers the pads because it's much easier to swap them out when you need to change and they'e cheaper.
The washer might not be a major issue as you have to rinse/soak them in cold water till it runs clear and then you can chuck them in with your normal wash. So you can leave them soaking in a washing bowl for a couple of days then take all your washing to the laundrette as usual. Still a bit of a faf though I suppose.
Obviously it's up to you and I can definitely see how the washer situation would put you off, just want you to have all the info. I see lots of people assuming it wouldn't be beneficial for them because of heavy bleeding when they're actually the ones who could benefit the most.
I would love to give them a try cause I've always been kinda upset about the fact that I have to pay so much money in a year long usage for pads and also some of the pads just make you feel uncomfortable or they give me allergy reactions! besides all these the environmental issues as you mentioned are noticeable. I hope one day there will be the ingredients for these products in a cheaper and more environmental friendly ways.
This is incredibly useful. Thank you so much
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching darling !!
I’ve been wearing THINX for four or five years already, I wear them day and night, and just ordered new styles! They are true heroes. They are rather expensive, granted..., but they also have projects in Africa where they donate washable pads for young girls so they can to go school during their period 👏 Hopefully as this technology develops it will become more affordable for everyone. Thanks for always talking about the right topics!
