FLUX Undies - Period-proof underwear that replaces pads & tampons

I leaked after 2 hours on my heaviest days. I have THINX pants too and I can see no real differences between the knickers other than the THINX knickers are much more comfortable to wear. THINX do not protect me entirely on my heavy days either, but I don't expect them to as they only say they act as a back-up. However, because I don't expect them to, I don't rely on them and only wear them on my medium/light days and therefore have never leaked. Also because the crotch is wider, I don't have side-seepage.

I really wanted to like the FLUX underwear because they are a UK based company, but I found the designs to be poor; the crotch is too narrow and is also quite bulky for a medium day. If they delivered what they said and did replace 4 tampons worth then the bulk would be worth it, but they don't.

There also don't seem to be any 'standard' kind of knickers for those of us who don't like frills etc. The boy style come with a horrible tagline of FLUX all around the band, the detachable cut into my hips too much and the bikini's have a lace border. It's great to have a range, but it would be an idea to have a simple standard FLUX knicker for those of us who need comfort on our period days.

The customer service leaves a lot to be desired too. I understand that FLUX is a start-up company, but that really is no excuse for the cascade of issues I've had as a campaign backer.

Pros:

Environmentally friendly in terms of being reusable

Cons:

They leaked and they are uncomfortable

i've been using these underwear for four periods and i have to say i can't believe i wore pads or tampons for so long!!! the underwear is comfortable to wear and feels and washes just like normal. i can finally go a whole night with no leaks and not have stains on my sheets when i wake up in the morning. i'm definitely converted and so happy that i no longer have to buy or use chemically charged, uncomfortable disposable tampons or sanitary towels!!!

Pros:

better for the environment, comfortable, saves money, all good!!!

Cons:

none

Used 2 or 3 months now

Pros:

Comfortable Hygenic Easy to use Environmentally friendly Comfy Detachable

Cons:

On heavy days they still need to be changed every 4-5 hours and leak around the edges Have to find a washing machine

I started using these about 4 months ago. I first wanted to use them only to sleep in but now I use them all the time because they are SO comfortable. I haven't leaked in them yet. Longest I have worn them is probably about 10 hours. On a scale of 1-5, I am probably a 3/4 in terms of how heavy. These have literally changed my life & I really think they have somehow reduced my period pain.

Pros:

Comfortable. Enviro friendly. Reduce my period pain.

Cons:

Tough. Erm maybe bring out singles sizes instead of dual?

Used these for around 6 months and they make my periods sooooo much easier and more comfortoable. And i can finally sleep through the night and wake up to fresh sheets!!

Pros:

Comfortable to wear, eco friendly, less period pain, easy to use

Cons:

I don't have any cons

My time of the month has become so much easier to deal with. The only thing I can say about these is it just feels like you're not even on your period. They are AMAZING. I can never ever go back. I'm so happy you have a light version too!

Pros:

Quality, Customer Service, Re-usable, Comfortable

Cons:

Maybe bring out more colours

It's hard to rate a product that i paid for and supported the development of but never received. I had high hopes for this product because I was tired of wearing pads and tampons. However all those hopes were dashed because they continue to email me empty promises while they send out products to others. Even for a refund I'm not given a time frame. I've been told just to wait and it will eventually happen. While I would love to support their product, I can't. The way they've treated me means I will never again give them my money. Fortunately I've found a different established company who responds promotely, offers refunds to dissatisfied customers, and mails out their products super fast. I cannot recommend FLUX when compared to this other company. I'm still waiting to hear back from their Kickstarter team and that was 2 months ago.

PL do not order the flux undies from website. They are a fraud company and keep saying that the courier is with Royal mail but even after two months you will not your parcel and your money will be lost.

(Ignore the frowning face, it should be smiling). The pants are great. I have a moderate to heavy flow on the first 2 days and didn't experience leaks. I had a bit of a technical problem online which someone got back to me about eventually so I was happy that it got sorted out :) The rep was very apologetic and outlined the necessary measures she would take to sort the problem out. I'll certainly be buying again!

I am really happy I found these pants and I will definitely be removing all disposable products going forward. I already have four pairs of Flux underwear and I have just purchased three more because they are so damn good! If only I found them earlier!!!
