Unders by Proof Women’s Period Underwear Light Absorbency Leak Resistant Thong
Did you ever imagine a world in which a period-proof thong would be possible? I sure didn’t, but I’m glad to be living in 2023. Here are the deets: This thong is perfect for your lighter days when you’re not sure if you’re going to bleed, but you know it’s not going to be a heavy flow. This thong holds up to 1 TSP of liquid, or one light tampon’s worth. I love it for days when my period is light but I still gotta go look hot and live my life, ya know? I love this brand and the thong is seriously sooooo soft to the touch for maximum comfort. It’s available in sizes XS to XL and the brand offers other cuts/styles as well.

Plus, these heating pads are so thin and have so much coverage, you can comfortably wear them on the go under any of your clothes.
