“I purchased several pair of TomboyX trunks for a Christmas gift for my 22 year-old. They loved them and fit so good! I would give a 5-star review if they weren't SOOO expensive. $25 a pair is a disappointment when they help so very much with my kid feeling better in their own body.”
“I've tried 3 different menstrual cups (never sit right and always leak and hard to maneuver if you're fat/disabled like me) and Thinx (resulted in a low-waisted poorly absorbent blood diaper) and it's obvious big people were not part of the design process (I ripped those silly lacy high-waisted ones when putting them on and then had gender dysphoria from them). These work much better. Just like the underwear I've purchased from Tomboyx, this fit way better.
I've bought and used these trunks and the bikini versions. The bikini version has a bigger absorbent panel so they have better coverage but aren't as comfortable (I never buy the style outside of this instance). The trunks are more comfortable but, as another reviewer mentioned, the absorbent pad sits farther back. If I sit for for too long in these there is a bit of leakage at the very top. It hasn't resulted in anything disastrous yet but if I had a heavier flow I'd have to keep an eye on it and try to yank them forward before sitting (which only doesn't look bizarre if you're working from home).
I recommend these over Thinx. I still use tampons at night but this cuts my waste down in a much less messy way than what I've tried in the past. Plus, less cramps because there's nothing foreign in me for my highly opinionated body to complain about. If I could change anything with these, it would be to make versions using the 6inch/9inch trunk and to make the panel longer in the front.”
“I'm really happy with these so far. Previously, I had bought the old 3-pack 4.5" shorts and I felt like they fit pretty weirdly on me and that the leg ends didn't stay down, but these look and feel so much nicer. My hips are usually around 40" and I bought size M. I'm using fabric pads with these. Even the thicker pads I have don't look that visible. Feels pretty normal.”
