Reintroducing… our Aerie Real. Period.® Undie, now in three amazing fits! When comfort & protection are what you need most, this worry-free undie is there for you. Period. We heard your call-outs about our undie feeling bulky, so we updated the gusset to be shorter and more comfortable. We also updated our fabric from two ply to just one! Our undie is now better than ever! Swapping feminine products for our Aerie Real. Period.® Undie is better for the planet, too.
We asked some of our Aerie fam (team members and more!) to try our classic boybrief and our two new fits for themselves and let us know how we did. Read on to hear what they thought about each fit.

Washing & Care
1. First, hand-rinse with cold water.
2. Using a mesh/laundry bag, machine wash the undies cold on delicate cycle (OK to wash them with other items!).
3. Tumble dry low.

“I think there’s a lot of uncertainty about washing these products, but I wash them like I would wash any undies. I try to hang dry them when I can remember, but otherwise I just throw them in the dryer (oops!) and it’s been fine!”
— Designer, Medium Flow

Which Aerie Real. Period.® underwear fit is your fave? Comment below & tell us!
I noticed you used the term “feminine” when referring to period products, in the sentence “ Swapping feminine products for our Aerie Real. Period.® Undie is better for the planet, too.” This is just a reminder that not all women have periods and not all people with periods are women. Please try to consider those who are not women or girls who do have periods and include them in your marketing.
