Hey, curvy besties! Do you know the best plus size period panties you should buy? They are the perfect solution if you’re either extremely sensitive, tired of bulky pads or feeling restricted by traditional products. And at that time of the month, comfort is all that matters. You want protection that keeps you feeling fresh and confident. I would say “without sacrificing style or fit,” but I’ll take a pair of “granny panties” any day during Aunt Flow’s visit. But to each their own.

Period panties are underwear specifically designed to handle your menstrual flow. They typically have multiple absorbent layers to protect you from leaks and keep you feeling dry. Depending on your flow, some can even replace pads, tampons, or menstrual cups altogether. Others work as backup protection. They’re washable and reusable, making them a sustainable option, and they come in various styles—think briefs, boyshorts, or thongs—so you can find what suits you best. Some of the brand even go beyond underwear, offering swim and activewear options!

One of the best things about period panties is their comfort. Unlike traditional sanitary products, they don’t feel bulky and move with your body. For plus size folks, it’s essential to find period underwear that offers good coverage and fits comfortably without pinching or riding up. Fortunately, more brands are offering sizes that cater to all bodies.

Here’s a roundup of the best brands making plus size period panties you should buy for your next cycle.
