Measure at your widest hip and choose a snug, comfortable fit so the gusset stays in place during movement. Many people build a “rotation” of styles: seamless pairs for workouts, fuller coverage for sleep, and lighter silhouettes for the beginning or end of a cycle. On heavier days, create a two-layer system by pairing period cups or a menstrual disc with period underwear. The internal product collects fl...
