Introducing 'Conditioning' to Absorbent Shorts: PlayS Boxer Launched

The anxieties faced during competition are not just about 'leaks.' The concerns female athletes feel during their periods in games and practices go beyond leakage and discomfort. Coldness, abdominal dullness, pain—many athletes know from experience that these disruptions in condition affect their play. On May 18, 2026, PlayS Inc. will launch the "PlayS Boxer." It's an absorbent short with a conditioning concept, featuring absorption and leak-proof performance, plus a detachable "Kodenshi® Honwaka Pad." Usage changes between on and off times. The greatest feature of the PlayS Boxer is its design that allows for switching use between competition and off-time. [During Competition: Remove the pad to focus on movement] By removing the pad from the special pocket in the abdominal area, it becomes a sports-oriented absorbent short with 75ml of absorbency and side-leak prevention. With a feel 'like tights that don't hinder movement' (track athlete), you can concentrate on your play. [For Relaxation: Attach the pad to support conditioning] After practice or when you want to relax, attach the pad. The far-infrared functional material "Kodenshi®" from Farvest Corporation absorbs and collects body heat, bringing a gentle warmth to the abdominal area. Three effects are anticipated: 'Relaxation effect' from the warmth and soft feel. Support for 'rest, crucial for fatigue reduction and recovery.' 'Comfortable sleep environment' support is expected from the warmth. "I felt a gentle warmth while wearing them." —Late 20s, track athlete. "It hit the cold part of my stomach perfectly and I could relax." —Early 30s, soccer player. "I took it out during practice because it was hot. It was that warm, and it's great that it's detachable." —Late 20s, track athlete. "I loved the sense of security and being protected!" —Early 20s, track athlete. It's not a strong heat like a heat pack, but a gentle warmth using body temperature. The pad can also be used alone on the stomach or lower back when not wearing the shorts. (Individual experiences may vary). Absorption and Leak-Proof Performance: Max absorbency 75ml (3.75 times PlayS standard). Center and side mountain-shaped absorbent parts improve absorption and prevent side leaks. 4-layer structure (quick-dry diffusion layer / deodorizing antibacterial pad / waterproof fabric / sweat-absorbent quick-dry body fabric). Reduces ammonia and isovaleric acid odors by 99% each, with over 5 times the antibacterial power of standard fabric. Recommended use 8-12 hours (individual differences apply). Can be used for periods, discharge, and light incontinence. Test Results from 23 Female Athletes: 23 female athletes from various sports including tennis, lacrosse, soccer, track, and futsal tested the product on actual practice/game days. 87% (20 out of 23) reported 'no leaks even with intense movement.' 95.7% noticed a reduction in odor. Overall rating 4.0 out of 5 stars, 86.4% would 'recommend to someone.' "The comfort was the best I've ever had, it felt great!" —Late 20s, stuntwoman. "The deodorizing effect is so much better, it adds to the sense of security, I want to keep wearing them." —Early 30s, soccer player. "It's thick so there's a feeling of being securely held, but it's not tight, and the high absorbency gives a sense of security." —Late 20s, futsal player. "This product showed consideration for women in so many ways!" —Early 20s, track athlete.
