Key Features & Specs

How it compares

The DreamShort stands out in the period underwear market by offering a relaxed-fit short silhouette rather than a tight bikini or brief. Compared to standard period briefs, the extended leg coverage prevents shifting and contains leaks more effectively for side sleepers. When compared to disposable overnight pads, these shorts offer significantly higher breathability and eliminate the discomfort of adhesive shifting or bunching during the night.

How to use it

1. Wear the shorts as your primary layer of protection before going to bed.
2. Ensure the built-in gusset is positioned correctly against the body for maximum absorption.
3. In the morning, rinse the shorts in cold water until the water runs clear.
4. Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle without using fabric softeners or bleach.
5. Hang the garment to air dry completely to maintain the integrity of the leak-proof barrier.
