I'll be honest. I'm a FAT woman. Periods are difficult for me because pads bunch up and then rip off while pulling down my underwear, so you can imagine what fun that is. I also have HEAVY periods. I used to swear by tampons but because I'm so fat now, they are extremely difficult for me to insert. I was so excited to find an alternative to bulky, bunchy sticky, messy pads and impossible for fat-me to insert tampons.

I bought some Knix overnight dreamshorts. At first, I LOVED them. They were SO comfortable. "Is this real life?", I thought. Periods weren't supposed to be comfortable. These were great! Sure, not one night would go by that I wouldn't leak out the back, side, or front — but that's something I was used to.

Now comes the fun part. The instructions say they can be just thrown into the washer. Hell, they say they can be put into the dryer too! What a dream! Well, that's all it was. I wash them and dry them. Take them out of the dryer and they STINK. Like I just opened up the 2-week-old garbage can and took a big whiff. I decided, "ok, I will now handwash them and THEN throw them into the washer and hang them to dry". That solved the smell issue. But nowhere as easy as they made it out to be.

Second issue: After about 3–4 wears, the seam right in the butt would rip. I've thrown out 4 pairs as of now that ripped right down this seam. I know I'm large, but come on. The seams are GLUED. So the glue eventually wears down, and tada! Anyone for a bloody full moon?

All in all, I love this idea. I just wish they were better quality, as these ones really suck.
