I really wanted to like them
I ordered several pairs with the heavy absorbency with the idea it would be my only protection, as I am normally a light enough bleeder that I free-bleed without any protection through most of my cycle, thinking it would be nice to be protected and not have to worry about the (slightly)heavier times when I normally use a menstrual cup.
Unfortunately, the smell even at the lightest times was so bad I was self-conscious through my entire period. I have never smelled my menstrual blood as strongly as I did when I was wearing these undies. I’m going back to regular underwear throughout my period, with a cup when I really need it.
I’m disappointed because buying 4 pairs was a huge investment for me, but unfortunately my regular underwear are better than using these.
