Top Underwear for Pads: Ultimate Comfort and Leak Protection | Saalt

By
Navigating your period with comfort and confidence starts with the right foundation—your underwear. At Saalt, we believe period care should be empowering, sustainable, and simple. Founded in 2018 as a certified B Corporation, Saalt has donated over 30,000 menstrual cups and diverted 13 million waste items from landfills, proving that business can be a force for good.
Best Underwear for Pads

When it comes to wearing pads, not all underwear is created equal. A good pair ensures a snug fit, wide gusset, and breathable fabric to prevent leaks and discomfort. Materials like cotton offer softness and airflow, while blends with spandex provide stretch without irritation. For added protection, look for pairs with built-in liners or gussets—perfect for busy days.

Period-proof underwear, like Saalt’s leakproof panties, can even replace pads entirely or act as a secure backup on heavier days. With absorbency levels from light to super, they offer leak protection without bulk and support a more eco-friendly lifestyle. Many users find that period underwear provides more comprehensive coverage than traditional pads, especially for overnight protection or during physical activities.

For those transitioning to reusable options, combining period underwear with a menstrual disc creates an unbeatable duo for even the heaviest flow days. The disc collects while the underwear provides backup protection, eliminating the need for disposable products entirely.

Caring for them is easy—rinse in cold water, wash gently, and air dry to extend their life.

Choosing the right underwear isn't just about practicality—it's about taking control of your period, your comfort, and your impact on the planet. Whether you're using traditional pads, exploring period pants, or pairing underwear with a menstrual disc, Saalt offers solutions designed for real bodies and real lives.

Saalt is a sustainable period care brand working to support everyone who menstruates. They dedicate themselves to creating clean, high-performance products that are better for you and the planet. Their ethically made period cups and period underwear are for professional athletes, office workers, adventurers, and those new to their cycle. For a process that is natural and essential, Saalt offers something just as natural and straightforward.

If you find your stem is hanging down more than you’d like or causing you discomfort, just know you can cut the stem on your menstrual cup . What is the Stem on Your Period Cup For? Not to get confused with a pull tab, the stem on your menstrual cup is designed to help locate the cup in order to break the seal, but not everyone needs the stem to help locate their cup — but it sure is a nice feature!
