      Most absorbent workout underwear

      I got a 3-pack of different dear kate panties and love them. Plenty of other pairs of underwear are moisture wicking but these are extra comfy. My only complaint is a little tightness on the brief thighs but otherwise, they are my go to underwear.

      Great panties

      I bought several styles. Each is made of beautiful fabric. They work really well. I love the hipster Nellie most. I have shared with all my friends how amazing my Dear Kaye's are. I will have these on hand for my daughters when they start menstruating!

      Almost Perfect!

      I love my Dear Kates! After a couple of tries I found the right style and size for me and I have purchased at 15 pairs of Nellie Mini Briefs over the last year. I like to wear them everyday because they allow me to skip the use of a panty liner. I feel confident wearing them because they free me from worrying about any type of leak or sweaty situation. The reason I only give them 4 starts and the title "Almost Perfect" is that I have had trouble washing them on a few occasions. The same great technology that locks in leaks also seems to lock in odors sometimes! I always wash them in cold water and line dry them but I have had the unpleasant surprise on a few occasions that they have retained an odor after washing. Stains always come out but odors, especially after exercise....not always! To remedy the situation I have had to wash them twice in a row with an extra rinse cycle added to the second wash to make sure all of the detergent is rinses out. After 2X's through the washer they come out odor free. More hassle than I would like but they are worth it because ...well...no one likes wearing hot plastic lined panty liners! Unfortunately, my washer does not have a soak cycle, which may help with the washing process. The odor issue only happened about 3 times but that's 3 times more than I would like it ever to! Washing them twice just relieves me of having to check them for odors after washing. I would like to suggest that you consider offering a different "cut" around the leg opening. All of the styles seem to cut right across the thigh which can be uncomfortable during certain times of the month due to bloating. I wish you had a "Hi Cut" option. Just a suggestion. Otherwise, I love them and always have my eye out for a coupon to buy more!

      Love all my Kates!

      I've been buying Dear Kates since their lesson, and they're definitely my go-to undies! Comfortable, cute and great!

      LOVE them!!!

      I've been buying these products since the beginning of the company, and they have performed as promised! I know that I can count on them. My one wish is that they would start to make swimming suits, or at least swimsuit bottoms.

      Stitching around elastic all breaking

      Love the undies, really comfy and do their job well. In fact I now have 7 pairs and wear these everyday rather than standard undies. However, I am really disappointed in the quality of the manufacture. In most of my pairs, the stitching has broken around the elastic in the waist and legs. They are the correct size, but the stitching doesn’t stretch.

      Good, but not as great as I wanted them to be

      I originally ordered a multi-pack of Dear Kates in the full brief style. They were too large and I as able to easily return the unworn pairs for a smaller size. After a few wearings, I submitted feedback that I thought the rear-end cut was insufficient for full bottoms and was sent a different cut to try at no charge. The second version, while better, still does not cover my cheeks. They aren’t described as cheekies and I find it pointless to have a brief that comes up past my waist if half my rear-end is hanging out. I’ve had my Kates for a while now and I do wear them on my early and late cycle period days, but I find they don’t offer enough odor protection on heavy days to wear without a panty liner (even when using a tampon), and panty liners do not stay in place because of the way the cut leaves my back end exposed. These are certainly better than regular underwear for light incontinance or light period days, but they are not the miracle I was hoping they would be. Looking at new styles online, I see that they all appear to have this cheeky style rearend so I likely won’t be trying more. Customer service is great though - helpful, friendly, and prompt.

      Comfy and reliable

      I'm very happy to have found Dear Kates. They let me wear what I want and need to wear. My only complaint is that you sell out of the neutral color, which I like to have in my drawer.

      Underwear that does not get eaten by my a**

      In addition to being comfortable and giving me the confidence to wear light-colored pants for the first time since before puberty arrived, my Dear Kates *stay put.* Normally, my tuchus draws all underwear in like an insatiable black hole (mixed metaphors lol), leaving me digging and adjusting without shame throughout the day. Not my Dear Kates. I bought three hipster styles (Billie, Nellie, and Sophie) with a bit of concern whether they would stay over my cheeks and not make the usual slide into oblivion, and I have no regrets thus far. I'm going to wear the Brieflux pair today when I head to the gym--I bought them for my Scottish country dance class, but the Billies performed just fine when I wore them to class this past week. I'm probably never going to buy any other underwear ever again, unless it's for a special occasion. Cannot thank the folks behind DK enough!!

      Great Panties!

      These undies are so great. They are comfortable and fit like a dream. They are worth the price because you never have to buy panty liners ever again and they last and last. The hipster Jackie’s fit a little more snug than the Nellie’s or the Hazel’s. I tried Icon undies and they didn’t fit me. I have a full bottom and the Icon’s didn’t have enough material in the back. I would highly recommend this brand. I also tried another no name brand because it was cheaper and the quality didn’t come close to Dear Kate’s!!

      I love the worry-free feeling

      Comfortable, and reliable to protect me against the unexpected forces of Mother Nature.

      I never thought I would love underwear so much

      I love my Dear Kates so much! They make periods so much less stressful... and they look good while doing it! They are a bit pricey, but SO worth it!

      Love my undies!

      I have 4 pair of Nellies and they are my favorites! I love how comfortable they are under all kinds of clothes. They keep me feeling dry and clean when I’m using them for back up and/or leaks during my period and during other times in my cycle. They wash easily and don’t smell. I am so confident when I wear these undies! I love Dear Kates!

      Takes getting used to... and maybe size up?

      Love : environmentally friendly, gets the job done! No accidents and I used as primary protection not a backup (but I have light periods) Takes getting used to: they're a little tight which I think adds safety from accidents. I measured and bought the pair according to the recommendation on the site. I think it has to do with the fact that you're using the garment when you're a little bloated and chubby so that can make tight things feel uncomfortable. Maybe one size up... Also, would be smart to buy more because there is no way I can do laundry mid-cycle (mid-week). I bought two and found myself on day 3 staring at two pairs that needed to be washed (after I had hand washed them) and panty liners. It's just a little pricey to buy 5 at a time.

      Used to be better

      I loved these panties when I first bought them, but now they are only made with the extended crotch thing. I like the fact that the crotch was extended, but they are too much fabric and feel very diapery and cause the underpants to fit smaller. I wear the Ada brief and I have a long waist so they tend to not go up high enough since the crotch change. I would try the other briefs, but I'm afraid they will be too tight in the waist. Sizing up is way too big, however, because for me it goes from the XL to the plus. I wish I had bought more of these before you extended the crotch thingy. Maybe somewhere in between the full and the original would be a good fit for me.

      I can always rely on my Dear Kates

      Comfortable, trusty underwear. They last really well and keep all leaks inside your undies.

      Never going back to regular underwear

      I found Dear Kate through a promotion a few years back - they offered a menstrual cup with a set of underwear. What a fantastic combination. Thanks to DK and the cup, I no longer have to use irritating and uncomfortable pads and tampons. I was always very conscious of wearing those things and even the best ones got soggy or crumpled or uncomfortable at random times during the day. Now I wear the DK underwear and never ever worry about bleed thru. I have enough pairs to wear for 3 days before and after my period so I'm never unhappily surprised. They wash well and last for a long time!

      In LOVE <3

      As a woman who struggled for years to find pads, tampons or SOMETHING that didn't leak - finding DEAR KATE was a blessing. I have never recommended a product highly enough. I mention it to all of my friends and sing praises about no more bloody underwear and no fear of wearing light pants or dresses. Thank you Dear Kate for giving me confidence and clean clothes!
