Charlie

Charlie fits small- size up

It was my first time purchasing Revol and I was disappointed to find that the waist band cut in to my skin unlike any other brand. I exchanged for a size up and they fit. They are a full inch smaller in the waist than other brands period shorts (I have Aisle and Knix). I love the material.

Leaked on Day 1

Pros: More comfortable than bulky pads No obvious metallic period smell Can hold quite a bit of liquid Cons: Leaked onto my light gray sofa on day 1 Liquid leaked over the sides of the “leakproof” zone and wasn’t evenly distributed throughout as there were sections that were still dry

Good protection but not ideal for sleeping

Overall the leak protection on all the styled I purchased was wonderful. The gusset never felt like a diaper despite going all the way up to the waist. The bamboo fabric was buttery soft and these never felt damp so I actually only wore 1 per day vs other brands where I go through 2-3. Cons: the stitching on the side and inseam is weirdly scratchy compared to the softness of the bamboo. Overall I found it irritating for sleep and it was thick enough it showed through fitted clothes. Ask: would love these in a higher waist.
