Quick answer

The Hanky Panky Boyshort fits true to size for most body types. Choose your usual panty size, then match the absorbency to your flow or leak level for all-day comfort.

Why the Boyshort cut works for leakproof needs

The Hanky Panky Boyshort offers more thigh and hip coverage than a standard brief, which helps keep the Saalt-powered gusset in place during movement. The soft lace waistband stays put without digging in, making it a good choice under skirts, dresses, or loose pants.

Because the gusset holds up to 3 panty liners or 3 regular tampons of liquid, it suits light bladder leaks, daily discharge, sweat, or very light period days. It is not designed for heavy menstrual flow or overnight use.

How to find your perfect Hanky Panky Boyshort fit

  1. Measure your hip and waist: Use a soft tape measure around the fullest part of your hips and at your natural waist. Compare your numbers to the Hanky Panky size chart (usually S=4-6, M=8-10, L=12-14, XL=16-18). If you are between sizes, size down for a snugger fit or up for a looser feel—the lace has some give.
  2. Choose absorbency by your typical output: Select 'Light' for daily discharge, sweat, or very light spotting. Select 'Moderate' for light bladder leaks or a very light period day. The gusset is not designed for heavy flow or overnight use. Overestimating absorbency can make the gusset feel bulkier than needed—stick with the lightest option that matches your usual needs.
  3. Wash before first wear: Machine wash cold with like colors and hang dry. Avoid fabric softener or bleach—they can break down the leakproof membrane over time. Pre-washing also removes any manufacturing residue and helps the lace relax to its true fit.
  4. Test the fit with a short wear: Wear the Boyshort for a few hours at home before trusting it for a full day out. Check that the lace waistband stays in place without rolling and that the gusset lies flat against your body. If the gusset shifts or bunches, try the next size up or a different cut (like the French Brief) for a more secure fit.
