Period Underwear - Part One

I'm so spoiled. Gary got me everything I asked for for Christmas. Including the gift certificate for Thinx aka period underwear!

If you missed my first mention of these you can find it here. 

I was so excited to order them!  And even more excited when I got home late Saturday & saw they had been delivered!!

Since I'm not due to get my period for two more weeks this has to be part one of my review. 
They make a good first impression. But what really matters is if they work or not!

They arrived regular mail in a very hippie/nature lover sort of envelope. Inside each pair was individually packaged much like a pair of panty hose. 


I ordered two different styles, sport & hiphugger. The sport I could VERY easily mix up with my swimsuit bottoms!


The hiphugger feel like swimsuit bottoms but the lace at the top totally makes them fancier than my normal underwear!


The packaging includes care instructions and information on their mission to take the shame out of periods. 




 
I have no intention of not using tampons with these...  BUT I'm thinking they will be wonderful for those couple days where you know your period is going to start at anytime, but you don't know WHEN exactly.  And I'm always so torn on what to do those days... I usually just go to the bathroom every half hour and check on things.  Or if I have to go out and about somewhere I put in a tampon "just in case" which I know is really not healthy. 
 
I'm also thinking they will be good to sleep in.  I hate leaving a tampon in long enough to sleep.  But I do it anyways.... 
 
And I think they will be nice at the end of your period where its not really there anymore... but it is... just a little.  You know what I'm talking about!  That just real annoying last two days...
 
And I know my mom is reading this and just thinking why can't you use a panty liner or pad??  I just hate them.  Panty liners I can't ever seem to stick in the right spot.  I have it on and I bleed wherever it is not in my underwear!  And pads... they are just the worst.
 
Stay tuned for Part Two where I let you know if they actually work or not!  ;)
