About the product
What are Panic Panties?
Panic Panties are premium, pre-washed, individually-packaged underwear for life's unexpected moments. Keep a pair in your purse, car, luggage, or gym bag, or grab one at CVS and thousands of other stores when you need a fresh pair fast. Find one near you on our Store Locator.
What are emergency underwear?
Emergency underwear is a spare pair you keep on hand, or buy on the spot, for leaks, surprise periods, sweat, travel mishaps, and other "oh sh*t" moments. Panic Panties are designed for exactly that: pre-washed so you can wear them right away, and packed in a resealable pouch for your worn pair.
Why would someone need Panic Panties?
Because life doesn't always go to plan. Women grab Panic Panties after a bladder leak, a surprise period, a sweaty workout or commute, lost luggage, a long layover, a spontaneous sleepover, or a long day at the hospital. Whatever the moment, a fresh pair makes you feel like yourself again so you can get on with your day.
Why can't I just pack my own pair?
You can, but a loose pair in your bag gets crumpled, linty, and not exactly fresh. Worse, it can tumble out onto the floor when you're digging for your keys or wallet. (Our founders are still scarred from this happening to us!) And then you're stuck carrying the worn pair home in your purse. Panic Panties stay clean in a sealed, pocket-sized pouch, are pre-washed and ready to wear, and the resealable pouch holds your worn pair. Plus, the moments you need them most are the ones you didn't plan for, which is why you'll find us at CVS when you forgot to pack anything at all.
Are Panic Panties disposable or one-time use?
No. Panic Panties are made from premium fabrics you can wash and wear again and again. Wear them when you need them, then add them to your everyday drawer. Lots of customers fall in love with their first pair in a pinch, then come back to stock up for everyday wear.
Are Panic Panties period underwear?
No. Panic Panties aren't absorbent, so they're not for free bleeding or incontinence. They're your fresh pair to change into after an unexpected period, leak, discharge, or sweaty moment. The cotton lining works with pads, and the resealable pouch holds your worn pair.
Are Panic Panties pre-washed?
Yes. Every pair is pre-washed so you can put them on straight out of the pouch.
What are Panic Panties made of?
Premium OEKO-TEX certified fabrics with a 100% cotton lining in every style. OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certifies that fabrics are free of harmful toxins and chemicals. Learn more on our Sustainability & Giving Back page.
What sizes do Panic Panties come in?
Three size ranges: S/M (sizes 2-10), L/XL (sizes 12-16), and 1XL-3XL (sizes 18-26). We fit every size on real women rather than grading up from a size small. Want a size we don't carry yet? Tell us. It helps us know where to grow.
What styles do you offer?
We offer thong and bikini styles, from lace to buttery-smooth microfiber, in stores and online. Our bikini cut is a perfect hybrid between a bikini and a brief, with a bit more coverage than a classic bikini but still cut to stay invisible under clothes. Shop them all online as single pairs, 2-packs, 5-pack bundles, or a 10-pack bundle.
Can I wear Panic Panties every day?
Absolutely. Plenty of customers buy them for everyday wear because they love the fit. Restock your drawer with our 2-packs, 5-packs, and 10-pack bundle.
Is your packaging sustainable?
Yes! Our new packaging is made from recycled materials, carbon neutral, and helps fund ocean clean-ups. Each pouch is resealable, so you can discreetly repack your worn pair and take it home. When you're done with it, recycle it with your other soft plastics. (We love the soft plastics drop-off at Sprouts!)

Panty emergencies

Change into a fresh pair as soon as you can. Your nearest CVS likely carries Panic Panties, so check our Store Locator, or have them delivered from CVS on DoorDash or GoPuff.

What do I do if my period starts unexpectedly?
Grab a fresh pair and a pad or tampon from your nearest CVS, which carries both. Our Store Locator shows which stores stock Panic Panties. Our cotton lining works with pads (yes, they stick!), and the resealable pouch keeps your worn pair sealed until you get home.

What should I keep in my car or purse for emergencies?
Alongside tampons, wipes, and a phone charger, add a spare pair of underwear. Panic Panties come individually wrapped and pocket-sized, so they're easy to stash. Our 5-pack and 10-pack bundles cover your purse, car, desk, gym bag, and suitcase in one order.

Why did you start Panic Panties?
We're three best friends who kept needing a fresh pair of panties STAT. Whenever we ran into a CVS or Walgreens, they had every wellness essential except underwear we'd actually wear. So we set out to put premium, pre-washed, individually wrapped panties in drugstores, airports, hotels, gyms, hospitals, delivery apps, and everywhere else women need them.
Where are Panic Panties made?
Panic Panties are ethically manufactured in Cambodia. We work closely with our manufacturing partner to deliver top quality and take great care of the team who makes them.
Do you give back?
Yes. Each pair helps us support women in need through The Undies Project. You can also recycle old underwear through our Underwear Recycling Program.
