Teen Boyshort Period Pants - Heavy
Choosing the correct size for your Sahara period pants is key to ensuring comfort and maximum effectiveness. Rather than simply selecting your usual size and hoping it fits correctly, we recommend measuring your hips and waist and checking with our size guide.
For accurate measurements, remove your outer clothing and stand with your feet together. The tape measure should be snug and even, but not too tight.
Hips: Find the fullest part of your hips - this is where you'll want to measure. Wrap a measuring tape around this area, ensuring it's straight and snug.
Waist: Your waist is the slimmest part of your torso. Wrap the measuring tape around your waist, again ensuring it's straight and snug.
If there is a difference between the sizes indicated by your hip and waist measurements, we generally advise choosing the size suggested by your hip measurement.
Should you need any help, please reach out to us here. We're available to help find the best, comfortable fit for you.

Our Teen Boyshort in Heavy Absorbency is a game-changer for those days when she needs maximum protection. Designed to handle a heavy flow with ease, this style offers a sporty, fuller-coverage fit that feels more like a comfortable pair of lounge shorts than traditional underwear. It’s a reliable, complete replacement for disposable pads and tampons, allowing her to move through her day or sleep through the night without a worry.
Whether she’s relaxing at home, sitting through long school lessons, or navigating a heavy night, the soft bamboo fabric stays breathable and gentle on her skin, eliminating the "plastic" feel and bulk of heavy-duty pads.
The Details
-
Maximum Protection: These hold approximately 20ml, the equivalent of four standard pads or tampons. They are built for heavy flow days and nights.
-
Extended Leak-Proof Layer: The absorbent layers in this style extend all the way to the back waistband. This provides added confidence for heavy flow days or for those who prefer total back-to-front coverage while they sleep.
-
Comfy Boyshort Cut: With a lower leg line and fuller coverage across the hips and bottom, it's an ideal choice for wearing under looser skirts and dresses, or as pyjama shorts.
-
Hypoallergenic Bamboo: Our bamboo fabric is naturally moisture-wicking and breathable, helping her stay fresh and dry. It is a much kinder option for sensitive skin than the synthetic materials found in most disposables.
Peace of Mind for School and Sleep
The fear of a leak, especially during a heavy period, can be a major distraction. These boyshorts are designed to take that weight off her shoulders. Because they handle a high volume of flow, she won't need to worry about frequent changes in school bathrooms or waking up to stained bedsheets. It’s about giving her the freedom to focus on her classes and get the rest she needs, knowing she is fully protected.
Simple Care Instructions
Looking after Sahara underwear is straightforward. After wearing, simply rinse in cold water until the water runs clear, then pop them into your next delicate machine wash. To keep the leak-proof barrier working perfectly, please avoid using fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Just hang them to air dry and they are ready for her next heavy flow day.

- Rinse: After wearing, rinse in cold water until it runs clear to remove excess blood and prevent staining.
- Machine wash: Wash with your delicates at 30°C. Use a delicates wash bag if possible, and a mild detergent without fabric softeners.
- No fabric softener: Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage absorbency and fabric.
- Hang to dry: Line dry completely before wearing to maintain absorbency and comfort. Do not tumble dry or iron.
- Ready to wear: Ensure completely dry before wearing again for maximum absorbency.
