Does anyone understand Thinx underwear? I would LOVE to love it... but what's the point of spilling a day's worth of blood in your underwear? Do you have to buy 5 underwears to avoid reusing it during period week? Do you have to do a different laundry for your period stains? But most importantly: is Thinx underwear for women who don't wear tampons? I just can't stand feeling blood spilling down all day. I would love to throw my money at them but I don't really get their product and why they're so cagey in their communication.

I have a pretty heavy flow and I use it along with tampons to avoid leakage. Lolz It is especially helpful at night, no more ruined sheets. I like using it during light days too. I don't have to worry about bleeding through or ruining a nice pair of undies. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ

I love Thinx but I would never not wear a tampon or pad while wearing them. I needed the extra security that Thinx provided. I've ruined so many underwear, clothes and sheets and they really helped stop that problem. โค๏ธ

I can tell the difference for sure! Thinx are made with a thicker, scuba-like material so it holds the liquid and is weirdly dry wicking. I rinse mine in the sink before I throw it in the wash and just let it air dry.

Haha thank you all! This helps! But if you use tampons at the same time, why can't you just use dark underwear? Can you tell the difference? (Unless the leakage is big) Sorry for the deets but I'm finally getting answers to questions I have every time i see their ads pop in my feed ๐Ÿ˜ฌ Thanks!

I love Thinx. It's a thick material, as AS1 said above. I wear it without any other products (tampons, etc) so it's just a more comfortable/convenient product for me. You do not feel like you're bleeding and wet all day, because the material is super absorbent. They are pretty easy to wash and you air dry (I just follow the instructions on it). I have a few pairs that I wear during my period with different levels of thickness (for heavier and lighter days), but I like them so much I even wear them when I'm not on my period.

Hmmm.... well, might not hurt to use on a light day.

Qq given this thick material, do you end up with VPL or worse the VPL that also come with whatever the muffin top equivalent is of thighs?

And what about odor? I was fearful that sitting in my blood all day would stink a little?

No odor, but you do need to rinse them when you are done wearing. Can't be lazy and toss them in the hamper for a few days. No visible panty lines or muffin top. They really wear like a good quality underwear. I've started wearing on heavy days and am liking them.

Just got my Thinx in the mail. Iโ€™ve never looked forward to my period so much in my life lol. Brilliant product. Advertising unique and amaze. Package design was illustrious and delightful. The company has made tens of millions in first two years. Iโ€™m completely inspired to start a biz/product designed and innovated by women. And Disrupt a market!

I feel like people donโ€™t take me seriously at my job given that I have a junior title. Half my job consists of chasing after people and no one bothers to answer my emails or follow up.

Thankfully, my boss helps me out & emails the people I need when I tell her no one responds but theyโ€™ll answer her in 2 mins or less when she sends it. Though Iโ€™m happy sheโ€™s helping, itโ€™s such a pain in the ass to wait around.
