The Best Period Pants for Sleep 202411 July 2024 | Admin As you'll know if you read our blog regularly, our inspiration for content comes from many areas. Sometimes it's comments on our social media, sometimes it's customer emails. But sometimes it's from our Cheeky trustpilot or product reviews. This was a recent review for our 'Pretty' period pants: "I have been using the feeling comfy and feeling fearless high waisted pants for night time use and they had improved my sleep and life as it meant I didn’t need to change pads in the middle of the night with my baby clung to me. I decided to try pants in the day as well. I now have three pairs of the pretty period pants and this is the first period using them in the day as well. It has transformed my period week. I feel so much calmer and more in control of my period. I never realised that such a small change to my routine could have such a positive impact on how I am feeling during what can be a pretty difficult part of my cycle. Thank you for making really comfy and useful pants!!' lucy, via cheekywipes.com Our mission here at Team Cheeky has to bring our range of 'Simple Reusables' to the world, since we launched our bestselling cloth wipes kit back in 2008. Having 4 children meant that as time progressed, I realised that internal period protection was no longer suitable for me. That was the inspiration for our range of reusable period and incontinence products, which we launched with reusable period pads around 10 years ago. Cheeky pants for periods and incontinence followed swiftly on... One of the biggest benefits of reusable pads and period pants is that they are so much more comfy to wear and use. And that is most obvious overnight when you need a good nights sleep. Period pants are amazing overnight and period pants for sleeping tend to be heavy flow options. The MOST important thing to think about when looking for period pants for sleeping is how far the absorbency reaches. Absorbency just in the gusset is no good for sleeping. Why? Because when you sleep, you will move. One of our first production amendments we made way back when was to have absorbency from the front to rear waistband as standard in most of our styles because our customers asked for it! We know that safety of menstrual products is really important too and that's why we have indicated whether any of these pants contain antimicrobial silver. We don't believe it's necessary but some brands still use it. We know you have google, just like we do, so we've gathered a list of the best period underwear for sleep from online period underwear specialists to supermarket options too.

When we asked in the office which period pants were best for sleeping, these were the resounding favourites amongst the team. We're all women and have daughters too, and have tried most of our styles so that says a lot! These are made from breathable bamboo and available in three colours, they're really comfortable and you won't get too hot. Full coverage absorbency from front to rear waistband means you're guaranteed leak free too. Customer Review: 'Absolutely amazing product, it has been a total game changer for me. My periods had been leaking at bedtime which I found upsetting and I was afraid to go anywhere to stay the night for the fear of leaking on bedding. This product is so comfy and has stopped leakage giving me the confidence to be able to have over nights stay while I am on my period. The product is great value for money, I was a bit dubious about buying from this company as they were so much cheaper than the competitors, but I would 100% recommend them and would certainly buy from them again.' Jeanne, Trustpilot Product Review 
Type: High Waist Cost: £26.00 Size: 2XS to 2XL (size 4 to size 20) Material: Lyocell TENCEL and REFIBRA™ which uses upcycled cotton scraps. These pants have also been treated with silver copper zeolite. These high waist pants will be super comfortable to wear due to the Tencel Lyocell. However the front absorbency is quite low, so bear this in mind if you are a front sleeper. Customer Review: (Reviews on the Bodyform website were via Influenster in exchange for Free Products): 'I got the opportunity to try these by influenster and I must say I'm shocked at how absorptive these are I worn them over night and didn't leak. They are comfortable and wash nicely. Still as effective after washing too. Overall a great product.' Lindsay, Product Review

However absorbency does not run to the waistband, but it is higher than standard gusset. Customer Review: 'I brought these to try, never had a problem since they keep it in. Brought four pairs of these now no leakage and doesn’t rub. Would highly recommend. Very comfy to wear to.'
