Our history
We’ve been breaking taboos since 2013, and we’re just getting started. Our Thinx underwear was the first period innovation in *literally* 76 years, and we completely reimagined the bladder leak experience with our absorbent Thinx for All Leaks underwear. From the New York City subway to the pages of Vogue, the Thinx company is one of the most well-known, awarded, & recognizable period and incontinence underwear brands out there, providing a more sustainable solution to 1.3 million people worldwide.
Our purpose
We make comfortable, absorbent products that keep you covered at every stage of your life — from period underwear & apparel for adults, to teen period underwear for first and early periods, to incontinence underwear that absorbs bladder leaks. But that’s not all — we’re committed to paying it forward through our giveback programs and initiatives. With every purchase, you’re supporting our mission to empower every body through access to period products.
Our environmental commitment
We make reusable period underwear in an effort to reduce plastic waste from disposables. We work with MAS to create thoughtful products (without harmful chemicals) that always keep the Earth in mind — and help you live more sustainably!
We’re committed to accessibility
Community
We’re always looking for ways to make menstrual products more accessible for our community — from our Thinx Leaders brand ambassador program to our various giveback initiatives.
Products
Each product goes through a robust testing process to ensure that it meets the needs of our community, in line with our mission to make periods more comfortable for everyone.
Digital experience
We make sure that our website meets accessibility requirements, to ensure that we’re providing an experience that’s inclusive of all people visiting our Thinx company site.
Frequently Asked Questions
How it works?
Our underwear for periods absorbs your flow, helps control odor, wicks moisture, and helps prevent leaks so teens feel fresh, dry, and comfortable throughout the day! No other period products are required. Our period-absorbing underwear is machine washable and reusable- so you can wear, wash, and wear again!
Yep. Our period underwear is washable and reusable, so teens can wear them, wash them, and wear them again, just like regular underwear.
Follow our care instructions to keep your teens’ undies in tip-top shape.
Our newest Thinx Teens period-absorbing underwear styles absorb up to 12 regular tampons (or 3 regular pads’) worth of flow. They offer all-day, leakproof protection for up to 12 hours to support early and inconsistent teen periods. No other period products are needed.
Our newest period-absorbing underwear features our signature, innovative built-in absorbent technology within the gusset of the underwear – a moisture-wicking top layer, an ultra-absorbent core layer, and an outermost LeakSafe™™™ barrier that leaves teens feeling fresh and dry.
The positioning of the absorbent gusset varies slightly by style but is positioned mainly towards the back. Thinx Teens Sleep Shorts feature an extended gusset throughout the front and back for additional coverage to catch your flow.
Our period-absorbing underwear handles blood clots similarly to a pad. Although the undies can’t absorb the blood clot, they’ll absorb the surrounding moisture to help teens feel fresh and dry.
Our period-absorbing underwear is ultra-absorbent, helps control odor, and wicks moisture to help keep your teen fresh and dry.

If your teens’ undies have yet to reach capacity, we recommend they change at least once every 12 hours to avoid leaks.
Thinx underwear is safe. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as PFAS, are absolutely not part of our product design and we do not treat our finished products with PFAS. We also take measures to help ensure these substances are not added to our products through material, design, production, facility, and supplier controls. We care deeply about the materials used in our products, putting comfort and safety at the core of our design, development and manufacturing.
Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is associated primarily with tampon use. Do not use period-absorbing underwear on open cuts, abrasions, or incisions.
