Alas! A solution to combat Aunt Flo and all her amazingness that she has to bless us women with every. single. damn. month. 🙂
Apparently there are some pretty cool undergarments on the market now for women who menstruate. *Yeah, there was really no other cute, clever way to put that.* I was intrigued and wanted to find out more. I mean, who doesn’t want to know more about periods?!
No, really Rihanna, this actually looks pretty awesome! “THINX” is behind the revolutionary underwear that actually do all the work for you during your time of the month. “Yep, it’s true. Period woes have met their match. Our award-winning, patented technology keeps you clean, dry, and, as always, lookin’ fly.”- THINX
There are four layers to the madness that is THINX underwear. The first layer is moisture wicking. *The word moisture makes me cringe by the way…* Anyway, this layer is supposed to, well…keep you dry.
The second layer is anti-microbial. This layer fights bacteria with an invisible silver treatment. For those of you that don’t know what a silver treatment is *thank God for Google* it is… “Colloidal silver is used to treat infections due to yeast; bacteria (tuberculosis, Lyme disease, bubonic plague, pneumonia, leprosy, gonorrhea, syphilis, scarlet fever, stomach ulcers, cholera); parasites (ringworm, malaria); and viruses (HIV/AIDS, pneumonia, herpes, shingles, warts).” That sounds like some heavy duty stuff that I want on my side! It actually sounds like underwear that will protect you during battle or something…
The third layer is super absorbent. THINX claims that said underwear can hold up to “two tampons’ worth of liquid, depending on the style of underwear you choose.” Told you there was really no pretty way of putting this, but sometimes the truth is ugly. I don’t care how ugly it is, if this is truly true, then we have just found the best thing since sliced bread…
The last and final layer of THINX underwear is the leak resistant layer.”Even your whitest white pants are safe.” Now that is a pretty serious claim! Even my whitest whites?…Every girl knows you steer clear of white during this time of the month, so this…this is major.
I must say, I have not personally tried THINX undies just yet. Not to worry… I will be getting them, testing them and coming back with a review for my amazing subscribers. There seem to be some good reviews online, so I am hopeful. These underwear seem to have a lot of obvious pluses. Like the health factor of no longer having to use bleached, dyed and unsafe tampons for instance. No longer having to walk around feeling like I’m two again with a saggy diaper…
And still looking pretty in my panties. 🙂 Why should I be banished to wearing undies that make me look just as bad as I feel. No more granny panties during your time of the month…
Cool styles and different fits that can work for everybody!…
They have super easy, low maintenance laundering instructions *my type of garment* 😉
And last, but certainly not least. One of my favorite parts about THINX undergarments is with every pair that you buy, funds a pack of washable/reusable pads for one girl in the developing world. “Sometimes when you change your underwear, you wind up changing the world” -THINX

Needless to say, these seem pretty awesome. As mentioned, I will be personally reviewing them and reporting back with my hopefully amazing results. To read more about THINX undies *yes, I prefer the term undies over panties* please visit their website here.
Here’s to happy periods!
