What is built into Kischt

  1. Three absorbent layers

    They soak up blood and are made for heavier flow days.

  2. A moisture barrier

    It sits inside the protective area. It helps stop leaks reaching your clothes.

  3. A gusset that runs up the back

    The gusset is the protective part in the crotch. It runs up toward the back, for extra cover when you sit or lie down.

  4. A high waist and full back

    The high rise covers your lower tummy. The broad waistband should feel secure without digging in.

  5. Soft, stretchy fabric

    It is soft, breathable nylon and elastane. It feels light, with a fine, mesh-like texture.

Best underwear for pads with wings

Still like to use pads? Pick underwear with a wide crotch, so the wings can wrap around. A snug fit helps keep the pad close.

Or try underwear with a built-in pad, like Kischt. On your heaviest days, you can still add a pad to it for backup.
