Love my new Underwear Boy short, they are very comfortable.

Great quality but I cannot by any means justify how chaotic the whole experience was, the entire shipping processes was delayed, customer service was useless (only an automated response was sent) because apparently the US and Germany team can’t communicate, they only responded after the already delayed order arrived, and that was not a big help either basically blaming me as a customer for ordering the wrong way (also reasonable but come on I am the customer spending a hundred euroes just to be ignored and forgotten by a company, making me feel hysteric, but once noticing my 10 complaints after more than a month immediately posting the order) i guess the panties are great but not worth the hassle

Sphinx Boyshort, Convenient way to manage leaks!
Since having two babies, my period has been much heavier and my menstrual cups less comfortable -- I'm figuring it all out all over again! These Cotton Boyshort have given me peace of mind while I sleep or go about my life, as I no longer have to worry about leaks (and the ruined underwear and stained sheets that come with them!). I find the boyshort pretty comfortable; like wearing a thin pad, but without any chafing, discomfort, or that unpleasant feeling of wearing a wet diaper. Also like that I'm not creating more waste with plastic tampon applicators, pads, wrappers, etc. I use them with a cup for the first few heavy days, and on their own at the end. Great product!

Cotton Boyshort is the best
I love all my Sphinx undies and love to tell anyone that will listen how amazing these products are! I’ve converted multiple friends and so far everyone is super happy with their Sphinx undies!

Cotton Brief
Very comfortable. Underwear is absorbant, meets my period needs and I feel dry. Great product. I love that it is cotton and eco-friendly. I bought some for my tween as well and she likes them too.
Adriana
Cotton Boyshort is incredibly soft, snug waistband does not ride down, nice snug fit
Sephora
Comfy!
I previously bought the Highwaist ones, and they were good, but then I got these cotton ones and wow, these are so much more comfortable! I love them.I actually wish all my underwear could feel as good as these. They're amazing and still have great absorbency. I was surprised that in the other pair I was a medium and in these I am a Large
Sophie
I love these Boyshorts and recommend them to everyone!! I cannot express how freeing it is to not need to worry about pads or tampons or cups. I get no irritation, no awkward bathroom scenarios. I never want to wear anything else on my period.
Sandy
Love the cotton undies!
Love the cut of these Boyshort. There is no bunching at the hip and the material is so soft. I actually forgot I had my period!
Melrose
Happy with my order
First time buying the Sphinx cotton panty but they were just as good as the other kind of Sphing I had. If anything, they were even more comfortable than the others. Definitely buying another set!
Justine
Absolutely love the cotton Boyshort!
I am in love with the cotton version. Aside from being great at absorbing they are more breathable so perfect for hot days or sport
Regina
Love the boyshort!
The cotton ones are absolutely my favourite pairs, they are soft and breathable and do not irritate my skin. If you don't know where to start, start with some cotton pairs.
Steffy
Comfy and cute
Very comfy very cute, a little bulky under tight clothing.
Kerstin
I LOVE THE COTTON UNDERWEAR SINCE I AM ALLERGIC TO OTHER MATERIALS
I HAVE HEAVY TO MODERATE FLOW AND HAVE MY PERIOD FOR 7 TO 8 DAYS. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT IT HAS BLOWN MY MIND, I NEVER THOUGHT AN UNDERWEAR WOULD HOLD MY FLOW AND KEEP ME DRY ALL DAY. I FORGOT I HAD MY PERIOD. I HAVE BEEN TELLING EVERYONE I CAN ABOUT THIS GREAT PRODUCT
Herdana
GREAT! Boyshort It’s just what I wanted! I’m not 100% sold on cups so Sphinx is actually what i needed. I use it for both day and night without a worry!
Jessica
The best thing to happen to periods
I seriously love the Boyshort! I have a heavy flow and painful periods, and tampons and cups make the pain worse. These are a lifesaver!. I do think in the future, the gusset in the front should go all the way up.
Michelle
I’m a believer!!
I’ve always wanted to try out a pair of Sphinx but was reluctant because of the heaviness of my period every month. Flash forward to an email coming my way saying the boyshort hold up to 6 tampons worth, so I took the leap and I’m so glad I did!! Took a little getting used to no pads or tampons but I’m never going back to those again lol! These held up against my monsterous flow and are easy to clean and care for. I stay looking for the magic inside of these that are able to contain and keep up with my flow lol. These are great! Try them!!
Tatiana
For my sister's postpartum
I bought these for postpartum and she is always saying how every woman should have them post delivery! She loves them!
Anette
Wished I had purchased sooner
Brought the boyshort for postpartum because of my heavy periods. The material feels and fits great. Easy to rinse in the shower, wash, and hang dry. No issues of leaks or feeling moist. It’s much better than pads. On day 2 and 3 I use 4 tampons each day with the parties. It’s such a great investment and saving so much money on not buying tampons and pads frequently. I have already recommended to friends and family and I will definite Buy more.
Tarin
Worth it!!!
Thought i'd give these a try. I dont fully trust them to go completely without ny normal protection yet. Im a super flow and i bought the boyshort sphinx but they say the max they hold is 6 tampons. I go through more then that in 24 hours. 6 pack really work for me, but I have to wash many times during my cycle of 5 days.
Elizabeth
These have made my period so much more manageable! I wear them with tampons on my heavy days and without on my lighter days.
Joylene
They are better than I excepted however they roll down a bit around the gut area if you ordered (as I did) a smaller size. Still worth the purchase though bc I hate tampons and pads. Really need at least 6 pack to alternate if you plan on completely avoiding other forms of period control.
A.
Game changer!!!!
As a trans non-binary person who experiences dysphoria sometimes around my period, I really love and feel conformtable in these boyshorts. I can't recommend them enough!!!!
Shonda
Great product!
It really helps a lot to not have to worry about bleeding past anything. I can more or less pretent that I'm not bleeding at all! As a trans masc I absolutely love that! The one issue is that I ordered a size too small but that's entirely my mistake. It's pretty surprising how comfortable they are dispite the sizing issue. Definitely too small but I'll just have to remember that for the next set.
Gabriella
I bought these for my teenage daughter. She has heavy periods and these help her to not have embarrassing bleeding through accidents. Game changer!
Lindsay
Comfortable but fabric is overall cotton. Great coverage for heavy days. Fit is a bit snug
Elly
This is PERFECT for a heavy day or overnight. The undies are so comfy and fit easily under your skirt whatever without showing in any way. As a pre-med, this is the only thing I truly trust for a heavy flow on a long busy day when I know bathroom breaks will be few and far between. Such a great buy!
Bella
All comfort
Not only does this help manage my period more comfortably the underwear themselves are great quality. I'm tempted to wear them all the time.
Jessica
Amazing product!
I thought these might feel like wearing a wet diaper, but nope! Really comfy and the fabric pulls moisture in. Highly, highly recommend!!
amber
Satisfied to the MAX
100% satisfied with my Sphinx, I’ve been using them exclusively to manage my period for the last few months and I will never go back. I recommend them to anyone when I have the opportunity.
Agatha
boyshorts are perfect solution for the nights
The first few nights of my period I always used to wake up needing a change of underwear, clothes and bedding. The sphinx boyshorts are perfect, no leaking, plus they look cute.
Daniella
Pretty awesome!
The work pretty great regarding no leak coverage! I bought 3 pairs of cotton heavy flow panties. I have no concerns of leaking through out the day, they are comfortable and not bulky at all. I need 2 or 3 more sets and I could transition to Sphinx’s to cover my entire cycle. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Magdalena
A must have!
My flow is very heavy at night! I love these boyshorts! They are so comfortable and look cute on to wear around the house.
Maria
NO. LEAKS.
Wore these overnight on my heaviest days and never leaked once. If you want a snugger fit, go up a size or measure your hips very well .
Lana
I LOVE these BOYSHORTS!! I recommend if it's just for your nights!
Antonia
A bit bigger than I anticipated, I really like the boyshorts but they feel larger. They absorb well and there was no mess so I am happy with my decision
Bernea
I like the look of the boyshort and they do their job very well, but what I did not like is that they take so long to air dry. Seriously I washed them in the morning and they still were not properly dried to wear that night, maybe my place is just to humid. Luckily it is sold in set of 3.
Annabel
Love them!
Really love these Boyshorts! They are comfy, soft, and hold well. The first time I tried them, I felt like I could smell the period, the blood but haven’t had that experience since. I am very impressed
Martina
I have really heavy flows and always worry about leakage overnight. I recently purchases the Boyshort set of 3 and haven't had an issue!!!!
Aurelia
Comfy!
I’ve worn the cotton boyshorts for two cycles and I love them! They fit better than regular boyshort underwear by other brands and are super comfy and effective.
Lara
These are amazing, Comfortable and effective.
Belinda
Amazing and absorbent
I have a really heavy flow- like fillin up a super tampon in 2H. I can wear the fullest coverage sphinx on my heavy days and only have to change them every 12 hours. It is amazing. Plus, it just feels amazing to not worry about a tampon, TSS, or bleeding through. I love letting my uterus be free to do her thing and just support her the best I can.
Claudia
The SPhinx Cotton Boyshorts does its job! I was very impressed! I'm purchasing another set this month!!
Virginie
Work well but not to wear under any tights clothes.
Diana
My daughter still has a blood disorder so her periods are sometimes long and heavy and other time light and only lasts 2 days. She is also allergic to pads and standard cheap tampons. So she is worn out and uncomfortable during her time of month. This solved one of the problems! Hoping to get her more!
Antonia
I love these boyshort and they are perfect for overnight use, handle bloating well and somehow make me feel cute even on my period. They can handle quite the flow and I had no issues with bleed through. I bought the 9 pack and use the whole cycle. Thank you for these boyshorts!
bella
I love how comfortable and convent sphinx boyshorts are! My fav Sphinx product so far
Joellina
I love these for day 1 or 2, whichever is heaviest, for sleeping. Also wore them as back up hiking yesterday on a chilly morning under some joggers and they were amazing! but the lines are visible under pants, please fix this.
Mathilda
Breathable, Comfy, and they work, I would only suggest, making the short length longer. Bc as a non binary person whose andro and wears boxers, I perfer the short length to be a tab bit longer. And more colors plz.
Annelise
Breathable, Comfy, and work perfectly
The fabric is comfy, not too tight, my skin can breath at night and I dont wake up sweating uncontrollably. And when the flow is heavy, they work. Thanks for even considering creating boyshorts for non binary people who menstruate.
Claire
Favorite for nighttime!
I love these Boyshort! Personally I find them so much more comfortable - material and fit - than the boyshorts of other expensive brands, which I've been using for years. The protection is excellent, and I love sleeping in these. Definitely my new favorite Sphinx for nighttime.
Salome
I am very impressed. I typically wear a tight spandex legging to sleep in period days and these replaced them and I’m in love! Honestly period underwear is revolutionary. After this experience I’m sold and going to try to switch completely over in the coming months. I currently have 3 pairs of boyshorts, heavy flow ones and I’ve been alternating them and so far so good! Also just bought a new set of highwaist because these are a game changer!
Herlinda
Thinx has your back!
I have a heavy, heavy flow. I found these on Pinterest and thought these were too good to be true and pricey... After a really heavy flow I decided to save up and give these a try. I have to say that they are worth every penny. I’m not disappointed one bit, they are the perfect back up so now I’m not even scared to do the things that made me so nervous before. Thank you Sphinx, I get it but it’s worth the investment and if you bundle you save!!! I went for the styles that offered the most protection and I’m not disappointed!
christelle
These Boyshorts are great, my only overflow time is when I get up in the morning to nurse my triplets. They absorb the vertical deluge fast enough. What a relieve !!!!
Mel
Size up if on the line
Love these as a cup back up. Definitely needed to size up for comfort though. The mediums were too tight after I washed them. Larges are a bit big but it’s better than tight this time of the month. Have gone for runs in them without issue.
zelinda
Flood blood!!!!!
I have issues of fibroids and I am taking blood thinner medicine. I love these boyshorts they have saved my bed many times...I litterly just have blood pouring out so I still have to use 1 big cup but at least I can sleep all night without messing up the bed or clothes
Mareen
Boyshorts, Great for the first heavy night and days of my cycle. No backup and no leaks! Then Classic on the light days. I will try next the set of hiphugger!!!
Anna-Maria
Boyshorts are super comfortable and require minimal effort to maintain. The boyshort is especially good for sleeping, so you can toss and turn as much as you want with zero stress!
berny
Love them
These Boyshorts are incredibly soft and comfy. I need bigger sizes for my Mom
Josephine S.
My fav Sphinx!
I have several sets of sphinx undies (I love them all), and I think these boyshorts are my absolute favorite! they're super comfortable and cover everything so I know I won't have any leaks. the waist goes up pretty high, which I like since it doesn't feel tight around my belly when I'm bloated or cramping
michelle
Perfect fit for me and the environment!
Love how comfortable these boyshorts are, and I love that they allow me to go without creating more waste from single use products. Also love that they don’t look so much like panties, thanks for including styles that are that absorbent and really cheap for anybody to buy.
Mollie
Comfiest sphinx yet
I have a few sets of the sphinx collection which I like but the cotton boyshorts are by far my favorite. Super comfy and still no leakage 10/10
Juliette
Boyshort
So far so good. comfy and does what it’s suppose to do. I prefer the sphinx highwaist
Nadege
Fantastic for day and night!
just added this to my sphinx collection and it is amazing! They do fit high rise for me and they absorb so much i can wear them for about 12 hours, even on heavy days.
Angie
My most comfortable Boyshort since I have been testing this style . I do recommend a few changes to be made to accommodate more for people with high mound of Venus
Berni
Great
I love the cotton Sphinx, they are soft, comfortable and breathable. The colour black is also fantastic.
erib
I absolutely love these Boyshorts
I’m so happy I bought this style ! They’re so comfortable, their length is great, the material feels good and they’re so absorbent!
Hannah
It is nice sewed, absorbs a lot but you can see it through my pants--quite embarrassing.
Evah
LOVE the fit. LOVE the Boyshort made of cotton. It is SO comfortable. Much more than other brands I've tried. On my very heavy days, blood just flood out of me and I did bleed a bit through onto the sides. It does the job perfectly on moderate and light days. I definitely recommend it
Mart*
The material of the shorts is so soft and breathable. As a trans person I would love to see boyshorts that have a longer inseam.
Valentina
Love the Style - Could fit better
I am in LOVE with the boyshort, color, material and feel. They are a bit tighter than I had hoped but I know I should have measured before ordering, my bad
John
In love,
as a non-binary person, wearing menstrual products can be awkward but these honestly feel like nothing is happening down there at all!
Janina
Really great first time use of period panties!
I got 1 set of 3 pack of sphinx boyshorts plus another 3-pack of Hiphugger and tried them out for the first time 3 months ago. I had never used period panties before and I had a great experience with these. So much so, I ordered a third 3 pack of classic and plan to make these part of my monthly routine during my period.
Findings
- Yes, these boyshorts are actually very absorbent. No leaking overnight!
- Comfortable. If you are between sizes, please measure before ordering. I wear a medium or large usually, ordered these in a large and kind of wish I got the medium so the fabric would sit a little tighter to my body, but honestly they still work well in this size too.
- Just throw them in the wash on cold, no need to rinse first unless you want to. That is convenient for me. I read reviews that some people will wear them into the shower to rinse them on really heavy days etc. when they don't want to put them straight into the wash. I appreciate that they can just go in the wash without rinsing first if needed. (I tested by washing 1 boyshort sphinx after a heavy day, no rinsing first, with a pink shirt - no staining and everything came out clean).
-Need multiple sets. You have to plan ahead with these unless you buy multiple sets because they need some time to air dry after washing before using again.
Overall, I will definitely use these every month now! I love that I can use them in overnights and have peace of mind about not leaking. The boyshorts especially are extra absorbent and offer lots of coverage.
Laynie
Works well but not for plus size
These boyshort is perfect for me size 3XL, but only goes to size 4XL. My daughter needs size 6XL. Please Sphinx think about the Plus Sizes
Pamela
Get your set
I have a true hourglass shape and that makes wearing boy shorts difficult at times - just the cut doesn't really work well. But these are unexpectedly comfortable. And oh my GOD, I wish there had been period panties my entire reproductive life. But if I couldn't have them for all that time at least I have them now. When I am deeply in peri-menopause and have had to deal with Carrie level cycles for years and years. These actually do work alone for normal flow - and they might for my heavy-heavy flow, but I pair them up with tampon, or pad and that one extra layer gives me more confidence to go out in the world during heavy flow days. I know that sounds like a commercial - but it really does work.
Jacky
Good overnight; lines are seen under thight pants
Depending on your flow, these are probably best as overnight wear or for medium flow days. Wearing them during the day obliges to wear something quite large.
Therry
True to size or slightly larger than size, worked well
Unlike some other brands where the recommendation is to go up sizes, these seemed true to size, if not slightly big. I’d recommend you order your size or measured well before ordering. Wore overnight and no leaks.
Marcelle
Great for Overnight
Boyshort works great but I would go up a size on my next purchase. If you have any booty it will fit a bit snug thus measure before ordering. Slept in it and no leakage.
Deborah
Fits well, More comfortable than pads or tampons...think of it as an all aroung, wearable pad and you probably won't be disappointed.
Inaya
Buy it and Seriously you won't regret it.
Love these. Almost everyday is covered by these. The heavier days you either need several pair or just use as back up. Have completely stopped using pads and my lady parts couldn't be happier. No more chafing or irritated areas from the pads. Best product for the price point.
Alicia
Perhaps could have ordered a small
Definitely good value for money
Best boyshort shape I have found so far, made of cotton and very comfy!!!!!!!!
Normally I wear a medium, so I bought medium. I'm very straight up and down, small hips, average bum, average waist but I have thighs! I normally wear size 36, I ordered without measuring and it is a little big, a smaller size would be a better fit!!!!!!!!!!
Christina
These actually work!
I have a heavy flow with clots and all...I wore a pair for the first time on my heaviest day and there were no breakthroughs which is nearly unheard of for me even in an extra long overnight pad during the day. If you have a thicker booty than I do,than you are going to want to go up at least one size from what the sizing says, but for us people with a smaller booty they are perfect. I am very pleased overall!
Armelle
Works Great, and Very Comfy!
Because of other reviews of competitors saying they are tight in the thighs, I was going to go up a size and I decided to go with the size I always wear, and glad I did because the thighs loosened up to a very comfortable fit.
They boyshort work for my leaky bladder and it is completely made of cotton...
Erin
OMG YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm 40 and these are still changing my period! Every one from school aged young ladies to mamas with multiple kids need these!!! Comfortable, secure, easy to manage, get you through the whole night without any leak, odor-free and stain-free. PLEASE buy your sets!
courtney A.
Bye Bye Plastic,
I've been using Sphinx for 3 months and I will never go back. I barely notice my period with these because they work so well. I am really happy!!!
Sallie K.
I love the super Boyshorts they are very pretty and comfortable and do their job.
Claire M.
I love these. I feel so comfortable wearing the Boyshort (not sexy under tight trousers) . Where were these when I was a teenager LOL.
Gwen R.
Everything I need and even More!!!!
I've been wanting to move away from pads for a long time now, they generate a lot of trash and I find them very itchy. I've been using Sphinx for about 5 months now and have not used a single pad. The Boyshort is amazing. I wear them on my heaviest days and don't have to change in the middle of the day. The classic is perfect for moderate and light days. They feel like normal underwear, definitely less bulky feeling than a pad and they aren't itchy at all. I haven't had any incidences with getting blood on my pants since using Sphinx! They're also super easy to wash and the blood comes out no fuss no muss. The underwear do seem to hold more smell than a pad does, but you have to get really close to notice and it goes away when you wash them. On top of all this, the underwear themselves are actually cute. Now I'm never itchy during my period and don't generate all that trash.
Michelle L.
The Sphinx are great, very easy to use and clean. I’m happy that I bought them
Gervaise L.
These are as lovely as period underwear can be. Fit well and soak up blood. Highly recommended!!!!!!!
