Hey team! These totally work as blood blockers. And they're definitely more comfortable than pads, tampons, cups, sponges, etc. They're just not as comfortable as, um, any of my other underwear. I would normally never buy underwear shaped like these–with the sort of high sides on the legs, elastic across the top of my legs, and so much bigger in the back than the front. I just lost some pairs of my early-adopted, beloved Thinx and thought I'd give bambody a try. Though I don't love the cut, they are true to size. All of the letters inside of them (size, washing instructions, etc.) sprinkled out like the alphabits from my soup onto the bathroom floor the first time I sat down to pee while wearing them. I was looking for something sexy-cute to wear when I'm bleeding and I definitely don't feel sexy/cute in these. But I also don't feel like I've got blood on the crotch of my pants. So that's something. In other news, the Absorbent Bikini Brief Maasai Print are awesome. Also not sexy-cute in the way I want my black, lacy pants to be but comfortable, easy-to-wear, and totally get the job done.
