Hello. I'm starting a new thread on this because the one from someone else last year is not quite the same. I'm looking for boxer briefs that can hold a pad.I tried Lunapads, and attaching a disposable pad on the reusable one but it's damaging it and it moves around a bit. I don't want to switch to use only reusable ones yet. I tried wearing panties and boxers on top but it's too hot. Pyramid 7 is not selling things anymore. I can't figure out how to sew an extra layer of fabric to boxers without it looking weird on the outside and I don't want to ruin a good pair while trying. I'm not willing to use menstrual cups or tampons.Heh, I sound whiny, but I just wanted to cram all the facts. My questions are:
_Is there any other brand that makes boxers for periods besides Lunapads and Pyramid 7? I know of Thinx, but it is not clear from the site if you can attach a pad to its underwear or not. Do you know?
_ Any other company that makes boxers where a pad could be attached even if it's not designed for periods?

Thank you very much!

Have you tried Always Ultra Thin? It's the kind I normally use. There's a version with wings and a version without wings.

Since I changed my gender on Facebook, I do get a lot of adds popping up. I thought I remember one brand able to be a backup for a pad too, but looking for it, I could not find anything. Thinx is the most common advertisement and they claim to be a backup for cups or tampons or being used all alone. Given the fabric structure, I do not believe a pad would work with them.

A few other brands you could look into, I marked the ones where I found explicit mention of pad usage...

- Dear Kate (also supposed to support "backup" for pads)
- Modibodi
- Pantiprop
- Anigan
- Vv SkiVvys
- Pantipads (supposed to be for backup at night or while traveling)
- Period Panteez (These actually claim to be usable with pads and tampons)
- Knixwear. (Same here "can be worn as backup to a pad)

Hope this helps,

Hugs,

Sarah

Now the other ad popped up again...

It was PantyProp. They have a boxer listed under "sleepwear" which does support using a pad...

:-)

Hugs, Sarah

Thank you very much Sarah! I'll definitely check out those brands.

Regarding Always ultra thin, I did try them, but they do not work too well on my underwear.
