• Comfort: Lots of users find period pants more comfy than other products. As the pads are built into the underwear you do not need additional products.
• Lots of brands and styles available to fit your needs.

 

Cons

• Slightly more expensive than other reusable period products as there is more fabric etc.

Overall, period pants are a fab new addition to many period product ranges. Some people use only period pants and others use them as a addition to their period product range, for example as a night time product or on days they are lounging about the house.
