29. A pair of period-proof underwear because they work as an amazing alternative to wearing bulky, uncomfortable pads. They’re designed to hold up to two tampons’ worth of period blood and basically eliminate to worry and stress about leakage!Bambody absorbent panties are PFA-free and certified safe to wear. Learn more about it here.

They’re also ideal for overnight protection (you can pair them with a pad if you have a heavy flow) and for people who are worried about leakage during sports or physical activities. Also, unlike your regular undies, you don’t have to scrub the blood out of these — they’re designed so it rinses right out in the sink with soap and warm water, and can get tossed in the washer and dryer from there.

Psst — reviewers love these undies, but suggest sizing up!

Promising review: “These are my favorite over Jockey, Bali, and Hanes. They’re very soft, the colors are pretty, the fit is true to size, and most importantly they have leak coverage not just in the middle but full front and back! The others’ front coverage ends where regular underpants does, allowing leaks if you sneeze or cough suddenly. Just rinse in water after removal and machine wash. They take a few days to air dry, which is their one drawback, but they have done fine in the dryer on low heat. Love!” —jillellen
