Review on Bambody Absorbent Hipster: Sporty Period Panties Protective Active Wear Underwear by Shakeeta Floyd

Purchased a single with a coupon and it shrunk a little after 1st wash.**After learning my lesson, when the 5 Pack was on sale 50% off, I ordered a size UP. this ended up being only slightly more expensive than purchasing my next set of pads, which I did not have to purchase as a result of getting these, so easy to recoup costs / profit.They aren't as comfortable as regular underwear and aren't as easily to clean. but they are SUCH an improvement over pads / tampons.Overall it is a win for comparative comfort, saving money, the environment, and almost everyone in general except pad/tampon companies.***The way I go about washing them:1. Ever since the start of the pandemic, I HAVE to shower after returning home from work.As a result, I just shower wearing these and rub in some Castille Soap, when lathering myself.I hang them over the edge of my hamper to dry.2. I highly recommend getting a 5 pack, because then you can go through your clean pairs before/during your period and then throw 4 of them in the weekly wash with delicates on cold (*wearing the other pair in the meanwhile).3. Hang them to dry4. Throw them in the dryer for 5 minutes to sanitize, and repeat if necessary (for protection against spotting or a longer period).Note: Rating 4 but NOT rating 5 stars, because for all that they are great as period panties.Because they aren't supposed to get thrown in the dryer / treated as normal underwear, while not difficult to wash, it IS an extra step/pain.And they are OK / comfortable enough, but they aren't as comfortable as my regular underwear.To put it into perspective, last time my period was late, so I ended up wearing 4 pairs before my period started, so I basically went 9 days wearing these. and was glad to return to normal, post-period wear.
