These are brand new, never worn, or tried on. When I took them out of the package, I could tell they wouldn't fit me. I waited too long to return. :( Waist measures approximately 12" flat. For medium to light absorbency. Built for when your period is easing out of the heavy days. Also great for everyday pee leaks! Absorbs up to 4 regular tampons worth of flow. Hi. I’m the perfect pair of high-waisted for when your flow begins to lessen, or for birth control periods. What’s a birth control period!? Well, when you just don’t know what’s coming. I’ve got light padding so I’m great for bulky-phobes but you’ll be shocked at how absorbent I am. Not toxic shocked though! Phew. Let’s leave that to the tampons. I’m also great for periods that can’t quite end and for panty-liner lovers. I’m made from super soft brushed microfiber with an organic cotton gusset. I also bring a light mood with me. You’re welcome.
