Heavy Flow

People often think that as soon as you say heavy flow they are only going to be big high waisted pants but we also offer lower cut classic bikini style, hipsters and Midi period pants but still offer heavy flow protection. However remember due to their larger capacity whatever the cut there is going to be greater padding due to the absorbent layers so these won't be as discrete under tight clothing as lower levels of protection and are more likely to leave a visible panty line or VPL.

Heavy Flow reusable pants hold many tampons worth of blood but don't worry about feeling wet as the pants come with moisture wicking top layer. If you have exceptionally heavy periods you can use them as extra protection along with other period products such as cups, discs or tampons.
