Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Iris van den Berg, founder of MAYSA

Founded by a Woman.

Maysa was founded in 2021 by Iris van den Berg.

Like many women, every month she dealt with the hassle of disposable tampons and pads: uncomfortable, leaking and bad for the environment. She threw away so much waste that she asked herself: "Can't this be done differently? Can't this be better?" And that is how the idea for Maysa was born.

Since then, we have been making washable period underwear that replaces disposable products. You wear it, wash it and wear it again.

For me, it is about more than a pair of pants: managing your period your own way, without stress.

FAQ

Maysa Period Wear is made from certified, health-safe materials. Gynaecologists recommend wearing it for 8-12 hours, depending on your period. The absorbent layer is antibacterial for optimal hygiene. The underwear can be washed at up to 60 degrees without losing its absorbency, but this can affect its lifespan and colour; therefore, it is preferable to wash at 40 degrees.

Contrary to popular belief, you are not soaked in your own discharge when wearing period panties.

The top layer in the crotch is breathable and dries very quickly. The airy fabric allows the fluid to flow quickly through the inside of the panty, so that the surface feels dry. The fluid is thus wicked away, collected and retained by the absorbent fabric underneath, in the core of the panty.

Maysa period underwear is designed to minimise odours. The absorbent layer contains antibacterial treatments that prevent bacterial growth and thus odours. This keeps you feeling fresh and confident all day long.

Once or twice a day. You can wear one pair of underwear for 8-12 hours. However, this depends on the heaviness of your period. For days with heavy periods, we recommend choosing models designed for heavy or extra heavy periods.

It is not always easy for young girls who have just started their period to use sanitary pads or tampons. Sometimes they feel a bit “different” because they are wearing a thick sanitary pad or tampon. Period panties help them with this; they have a cute, girly design and are incredibly comfortable; because they fit well, they don't have to worry, even when playing sports. It's good for their self-confidence, for nature, and for mum's wallet.

Customer Reviews

Customer photo review of Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I'm incredibly happy with this period underwear for my daughter. No more stress about unexpected leaks at school, and I'm glad we're helping to cut down on waste. It's comfy, looks cute, and is easy to wash. A perfect solution!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I ordered these for my teenage daughter, because she'd just started her first period. This leakproof underwear is perfect for her, because she has a light period. It's so important for her to feel safe and secure at school, and sometimes there's no time to change a pad. With it she doesn't have to think about it. It doesn't leak at all. Super comfy to wear and soft on the skin. Washes very well without losing colour or shape.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

The knickers are well made in soft fabric with a pretty lace design. They're comfortable to wear and absorb well. My daughter has several pairs of period knickers, and because her periods are heavy she usually wears a pad as extra protection, but she felt confident wearing these on their own on lighter days. They're a bit expensive for one pair, but they're well made and comfortable, and I'd definitely recommend them.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – 100% Leakproof

Bought for my teenage daughter who has heavy periods, and they work really well. She says they are comfortable and give her confidence during long school days. Sometimes they do feel a bit less breathable, but that doesn't outweigh the benefit of not having any accidents. The fabric feels soft and stretchy, and the absorption is impressive; they last all night without leaking.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I bought these for my 11-year-old daughter, who has really heavy periods. She loves them. She doesn't have to worry about leaks anymore. They absorb a lot and, according to her, they are much more comfortable than sanitary pads. Super easy to wash and they stretch nicely.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

My daughter really loves them, they are so comfortable, protect really well without leaking on every day except the very heaviest, and they are easy to wash and dry.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I bought these knickers for my daughter after hearing good reviews about them (I'd bought period pants from another brand before). I was so impressed with the quality of the service, but especially the product! How soft and 'thin' they are is remarkable compared to the others. Top marks from my daughter, especially for absorbency, because she has a heavy period, so we were both sceptical at first.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

These are really good period pants. My 11-year-old daughter got her first period last Christmas, so I bought some Maysa pants to try out. She finds the Maysa pants so comfortable that she now wears them every day of the month. The lace boyshorts for heavy periods are great on her heaviest days. I was so impressed that I started buying all kinds of pants for myself as well. Unfortunately, I have already had to return 2 pairs this year: 1 wasn't the right fit for me and the seam on 1 came undone. BUT both times the customer service was exceptionally good (thank you, Iris!). I really recommend these pants and this company.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I am a happy customer, Maysa's briefs are amazing! My daughter wore them on a trip and found them super comfortable. We had to exchange something, Iris was great, so it went smoothly and without any hassle. The customer service was truly excellent. Would definitely recommend!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

The best customer service ever. On time. Thorough. Attentive. Truly impressed. I have been in contact with Iris a few times and she is truly amazing. We just opened our first order, but I am impressed by the customer service alone and wanted to write this review. I really hope the products help my daughter, then we can write a review about that too!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Maysa is truly AMAZING: my daughter finds everything less scary now, especially at school and so on. We also had a small problem and Iris handled it PERFECTLY! Really, the very best!!!!!!! Fast, nice, sweet, and super professional! Thank you very much!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I ordered these lace boyshorts for teens a while ago so we would be prepared for when my daughter got her period. When the time came, her first period went very smoothly, thanks to the confidence she had in the briefs. Really worth the money to relieve that anxiety. After that, I ordered a few more pairs, but in the wrong size. I contacted Maysa's wonderful customer service, and Iris was great; she kept me updated throughout the entire exchange process. I definitely recommend Maysa's products and their super friendly customer service.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I think your company's values are amazing: your story, where you've come from and what you want for the future. It feels like I am buying decency and hope, if you know what I mean. You have given my autistic daughter peace and calm, and she feels at ease because your pants are so soft and comfortable. She wears them every day! It gives her self-confidence, allowing her to concentrate better so she can learn at school and regulate herself, because she knows she is safe when she gets her period. I am very grateful to you.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Bought these for my daughter; she has pretty heavy periods (I did too), and I think they are really great. We've tried a few other brands of period pants, and so far, these are her favourite. She finds them comfortable and hasn't had any embarrassing leaks. I think I'm going to buy more soon. I wish I'd had these when I was younger!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

My daughter thinks these absorb much more than the period pants from a supermarket brand, which she leaked through. So far, no leakage with these and she finds them really comfortable! I only gave one star less because they are expensive, so she only wears these on heavier days and the supermarket ones on lighter days, because I can't justify buying a whole week's worth!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

There was a small problem with one of the pairs I had bought for my daughter. But the customer service was helpful, listened, helped, and understood. I would recommend it to others and will definitely order from Maysa again.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Great product. I bought a pair for my teenage daughter and she finds it much nicer how confident she feels during the day at school and especially during sports. Good quality, easy to wash, and highly recommended.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

My 13-year-old daughter wears these period pants and finds them very comfortable. She did say that they feel a bit thick, but no more than sanitary pads, and that doesn't stop her from wearing them. She prefers period pants anyway, especially because they are more sustainable. In terms of performance, they are spot on. She has worn them for 10 to 12 hours straight without a single leak, which was very reassuring and gave her more self-confidence during the day. They are a good choice for the long term and you can save money with them, but do keep in mind that if your child is still growing fast, you might need to replace them sooner than you think because the size changes. But all in all, they work very well and it has been a positive experience so far.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

At first I doubted whether I really wanted to spend so much money on underwear!! But sooooo worth it compared to period pants from high-street shops. From feeling like you are wearing a nappy to not even noticing that you are wearing period pants! I first bought them for my teenager, who kept leaking with the ones from a cheap high-street shop. She loved them! So I thought, I'll treat myself for once!! I wish I had done that years earlier!! I have a whole bunch now in different styles, worth every penny ladies!!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

These pants are great for my daughter, who just got her period. No leakage, soft and comfortable. Something went wrong with the delivery and their customer service was super!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

They really exceeded my expectations. Bought them for my daughter and she said they were very comfortable and she didn't feel like they would leak anywhere. No nasty smell either, even after she had worn them for a while. She would recommend them to everyone and will definitely buy more for her.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

I cannot recommend Maysa enough; they have a great range. I came across Maysa when I was looking for period pants for my daughter. She has autism and has sensory sensitivities. She was totally upset when she got her period, until these arrived and she was a completely different girl. She said that it feels like regular underwear and that it doesn't irritate. Their customer service is top-notch; they respond very quickly.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Ordered a pair of briefs for my teenager. Maysa's customer service helped me out really well with a small problem during the ordering process. The product looks good and feels nice; I'm curious how they will perform during school and activities.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

My 12-year-old daughter loves these pants! She says they are super comfortable and last the whole school day! They are also easy to wash and still look good! My only point is that the crotch is also black, so you can't really see how much or how little has been absorbed. I would prefer a lighter colour in the crotch.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

We just ordered for the second time, because we liked the first ones so much! My daughter is an incredibly active girl who unfortunately inherited my heavy periods. With these pants, she can just do everything without worrying about leaks or feeling uncomfortable! I wish I had had them when I was younger! Really recommend them, a super nice and easy way to manage your period with little to no stress or hassle. And they are also better for the environment (compared to disposable products). The only downside is the price, because they aren't cheap. But they are the best products out there, and in terms of convenience and longevity, they are spot on! We didn't even look at other products for her, because these are so good! I am so happy that such a good product exists that works perfectly in every way. She doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. She is also happy that they are subtle and inconspicuous yet still comfortable. Still hesitating? Just do it, you really won't regret it!

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Super customer service. Iris was amazing; she waited for me so I could still place my order at the last minute, and was helpful and understanding. Great products for my daughter; she feels confident in them. Thank you very much.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

We bought a few different ones for our 10-year-old daughter. They are fantastic. Never leaked, and because of that, she has gained more self-confidence, exactly when she needed it most. We have since ordered more and are just as happy. X

I bought these in advance for my daughter, who is about to start puberty. She is quite sensitive to clothing labels and didn't like the idea of sanitary pads or tampons. I wanted her to experience this less-than-pleasant part of puberty as comfortably as possible. I had only ordered the smallest size, and unfortunately, it was quite small, so I needed a size up. I contacted Maysa; they said I could return them, and that is what I did. The order has been exchanged for the larger size. Hopefully, they will work as promised when the time comes, and I don't think that will be much longer.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

A real godsend for my neurodivergent teenager. She struggles with certain fabrics and how things feel, and sanitary pads sometimes just don't feel comfortable to her. You can wear these pants with or without a pad, which makes it much more comfortable for her. Not a single leak yet, not even on the heavier first days. The quality is top-notch. The fabric is soft and shiny. So far, no problems with absorption, and she can wear them for a whole school day without any hassle. They stretch well, even though they look smaller than you would think, and they fit perfectly. I soak them in cold water for 20 minutes, then wash them at 30°C and hang them outside or on a drying rack if the weather is bad, and they dry just fine. The quality remains good even after washing.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Maysa's products are great. My daughters use them for school, especially on PE days, and for sleepovers. They really take the stress away from their periods, and I would definitely recommend the underwear. However, Maysa's customer service could be better, as I had to wait a long time for a reply to my email regarding sizes and returns.

Teens Boyshort – Lace – Heavy – Leakproof

Really good help after something went wrong with my order. Iris was super helpful and we're happy with the products. My daughters like them better than the other brands we've used before, because they're less bulky and fit better.
