Description
Shorts-shaped sanitary pads that are worn instead of underwear and a separate pad. Elasticated all the way round for 360-degree coverage. For single-use: wear once and throw away.
The problem with a heavy night is not absorbency alone; it is movement. A pad can hold plenty and still leak because it shifted while you turned over. Sanitary underwear solves that differently: the absorbent core is built into the shorts themselves, so there is nothing to slide out of position.
This is disposable underwear, worn once and thrown away, not a washable reusable garment. That is the main thing to be clear about before buying. You pull them on like normal briefs, wear them, and dispose of them afterwards. Elleair makes them in black specifically so they do not look or feel like a medical product, either while wearing or when disposing.
Elleair rates the absorbency as equivalent to three of their own night pads, and the core is 2.9 mm thick, which is thin enough that it does not feel stiff between the legs. The elasticated waist and leg openings hold the shape close to the body. This pack is size L–XL, which covers a waist of roughly 69 to 95 cm, and contains four pairs.
People buy period underwear in this disposable format for heavy nights, long journeys, hospital stays, and the first days of a cycle, when the priority is not thinking about it for a while.

Made In
Made in Japan.
● The absorbent core is built into the shorts, so there is nothing that can shift out of place
● Coverage runs front to back and around the sides rather than sitting in one strip
● Thin core avoids the stiff, bulky feeling of layering a night pad into underwear
● Black colouring is discreet both to wear and to dispose of
● Nothing to wash afterwards, which suits travel and hospital stays
● Practical for the heaviest one or two nights rather than a whole cycle
1. Remove one pair from the pack and pull them on as you would ordinary briefs.
2. Check that the waist and leg elastics sit flat against the skin.
3. Wear as needed. Elleair states up to 12 hours based on their own testing, though flow varies considerably between people.
4. Change sooner if the flow is heavy or if you feel damp. Do not wait out the full 12 hours if it does not feel right.
5. Remove, roll up, and dispose of in a bin. Do not flush.
6. These are single-use and are not washable or reusable.

No. They are single-use. You wear a pair once and dispose of it. Some listings describe this product as washable, which is incorrect.
A waist of approximately 69 to 95 cm.
Elleair rates them as equivalent to three of their own night pads. That is the manufacturer's comparison against their own range rather than an independent measure.
That is the figure Elleair gives from their own testing. Flow varies a great deal between people and across a cycle, so use your own judgement and change sooner if you need to.
The absorbent core is 2.9 mm, which is thin enough that they do not feel stiff between the legs. They are less bulky than layering a night pad into ordinary underwear.
