The author, a tampon user, tries out period panties for the first time. She purchased three pairs from the brand "Thinx": a hip hugger, a sport panty, and a thong. She wore each pair on different days of her period and documented her experience.
The author found the period panties to be comfortable and secure, but had some issues with leakage, especially on heavier flow days. She liked the hip hugger and thong pairs, but was less fond of the sport panty, which overflowed on her.
The author's biggest issue with the period panties was their high cost, ranging from $24 to $34 per pair. However, she found them to be a great supplementary product to her usual tampons and plans to continue using them, especially for lighter flow days.
Overall, the author recommends investing in one or two pairs of period panties as a helpful addition to one's period products, but notes that they may not be suitable as a replacement for traditional products.
