Pads and Sarah Shevon Archivespantyliners were designed to fit perfectly in feminine underwear. After all, women arethe only people to get periods, right?

Wrong. Transgender men and masculine-presenting people menstruate, too. But traditional boxers aren't designed to securely hold period products.

To solve this issue, a new company created an innovative and gender-affirming solution: menstruation-friendly boxers.

The company, called Pyramid Seven, hopes to include transgender men and gender-nonconforming people in the conversation around menstruation through its inclusive designs. The company's comfortable and stylish boxer briefs were created with an extra panel to help support period products.

"There is a real need for products that cater to all bodies, and we are hoping to be part of that solution," says Pyramid Seven creator Zipporah Jarmon.

The queer-owned company, which was created by Jarmon and business partner Michelle Janayea, describes its product as "underwear for periods, not gender."

The boxers are priced at $26, with a three-pack costing a discounted $66. They're available in sizes XS to XL.

The creators worked on the design for a year, and were inspired to create the underwear to tackle the discomfort and frustration they felt when forced to wear feminine underwear while on their period.

"For folks like us who typically wear boxers or boxer briefs, it made being on our period even more uncomfortable than it already is,"Jarmon says. "We wanted to make a product that would make us look and feel good, even during our period."

Boxers for trans men and masculine-presenting people aren't new. Thinx and Lunapads both offer tight-fitting boxers made of absorbent material that capture menstrual blood within the undergarment. These boxer options, however, don't allow people who would rather use traditional menstrual products like pads or pantyliners to fit the product securely in their underwear. Plus, recent concerns over the workplace ethics of Thinx in particular make Pyramid Seven a more socially conscious option for those invested in workers' rights.

The immediate success of Pyramid Seven has already proven the need for masculine period underwear. The product is currently sold out, with Pyramid Seven fielding countless inquiries on when it will restock. The duo says that more undergarments are currently being manufactured and will be released shortly.

"It's been a pleasure to be able to open up space to have conversations about menstruation and the varying needs of folks who menstruate," Jarmon says. "We've heard from so many of our customers what a difference it makes to feel comfortable inside and out while on their period."

In the immediate future, the Jarmon and Janayea have plans to expand and ship worldwide, providing inclusive, menstruation-friendly undergarments to people with periods around the globe.
