Saalt has announced the launch of the Saalt Cotton Sleep Short. Made from soft and breathable biodegradable natural cotton, they are as comfortable as regular underwear but with an extended gusset.

This new pair of period underwear provides waistband-to-waistband and front-to-back coverage. The absorbency of the Sleep Short's gusset is top-of-the-line super-absorbency. It can replace 6+ pads or 8+ regular tampons, making it perfect for heavy flows and ensuring an uninterrupted night of sleep, the company said in a press release.

The Sleep Short and its powerful gusset are also ideal for a long road trip, a relaxing day at home, a busy day of errands, or any other time when extra leakproof protection is needed, the company said.
