More than 12 billion pads and tampons are thrown out every year, and the average person with a period uses 11,000 pads, tampons, and panty liners in their lifetime - that's a lot of landfill waste, money, and trips to the drugstore!
Now when you get your period, you can opt out of wasteful and expensive disposables, and just wear underwear like any other day. These period underwear are made with organic cotton and THINX signature tech that absorbs your flow, controls odor, helps prevents leaks, and keeps you fresh ‘n’ dry — all without feeling bulky or wet.
The bikini style is perfect for medium days - it holds up to 1½ regular tampons' worth. It can be used alone, or as a backup for a menstrual cup. We also carry a thong version for light days, and a brief version for heavy days.

Use and care
Wear instead of a pad or pantyliner during your period.
Between uses, rinse, throw in the washing machine (cold or warm water), and hang dry. No bleach, fabric softener, or irons.
Sizes
Fits true to size. Because THINX uses special technology to keep you leak free, the sizes fit a bit more snug than your average run-of-the-mill undies.
Your hip measurement is the most important size to consider when trying to find the perfect fit.
