Yes! Our super heavy absorbency styles, the Hip Hugger, Seamless Hip Hugger, and Lace Hipster, are perfect for your heaviest days. They each absorb up to 6 pads of blood comfortably.

You might feel a brief dampness after using the toilet and pulling your underwear back up—this fades in a few seconds as the fabric wicks moisture. If it starts to feel persistently damp or heavy, it’s time to change.
