Women's Boyshort Period Pants - Heavy Absorbency
Choosing the right size ensures comfort, leak-proof performance and confidence - whether you’re buying period underwear or period swimwear. 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 below.
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: Measure around the fullest part of your hips and bottom. Keep the tape level and relaxed — don’t pull too tight.
Waist: Measure around the narrowest part of your waist, usually just above your belly button.
If your waist and hip measurements fall into different sizes, we generally suggest choosing the size that best matches your hip measurement for the most secure fit.
Should you need any help, please reach out to us here. We're available to help find the best, comfortable fit for you.

Our Women's Boyshort in Heavy Absorbency is designed for those who prefer a fuller coverage fit without sacrificing comfort. With a lower leg line and a secure waistband, these are an ideal choice for heavy flow days or for use as overnight period underwear. They provide a generous, snug fit that stays in place, making them the perfect choice for those days - and nights - when you want maximum protection and the confidence of a secure, comfortable fit.
The soft bamboo fabric is naturally breathable and moisture-wicking, ensuring that even with the extra coverage, you stay comfortable throughout the day. Because the fabric is so gentle, it helps avoid the irritation often associated with traditional disposable pads which are predominantly made of plastic.
The Details and Fit
-
Maximum Protection: These hold approximately 20ml, equivalent to four standard pads or tampons. They are built to handle your heaviest flow with total reliability.
-
Worry-Free Sleep: We have extended the absorbent layers all the way to the back waistband. This ensures complete coverage while you sleep, preventing leaks regardless of how much you move during the night.
-
Full Coverage Design: The boyshort cut offers more fabric across the hips and bottom, making them particularly practical under dresses or skirts.
-
Four-Layer Technology: Despite the generous coverage, the leak-proof gusset remains slim and discreet. It features a dry-touch top layer, a high-capacity core, and a waterproof barrier to keep your clothes and sheets protected.
Practical for the UAE Lifestyle
From a busy day of school runs to a desert camping trip, these boyshorts offer a hassle-free solution to period management. They remove the need to carry spare disposables in your handbag and provide that extra layer of security when you are away from home for several hours. For women in the UAE who value a combination of high-quality fabric and practical design, these are a durable addition to your wardrobe.
How to Care for Your Boyshorts
Looking after your Sahara underwear is very simple. After use, rinse them in cold water until the water runs clear, then include them in your next delicate machine wash. To keep the leak-proof barrier working perfectly, please avoid fabric softeners and do not tumble dry. Just hang them to air dry and they are ready for next time.

- Pre-wash: Before first wear, wash in cold water with mild detergent (hand wash or gentle machine wash) to activate absorbency.
- 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.
Following these steps will keep your Sahara period underwear performing at its best.
