Does Thinx Actually Work?

They don't work! Do not use Thinx as a tampon replacement or a menstrual cup replacement. Don't even buy them if that's what you intend. Despite the 20+ reviews on Youtube and via random bloggers, whatever you do, don't free flow with Thinx if your monthly flow has ever stained or leaked during your entire period life.

Does Thinx feel wet?

Miki and her twin sister set out to change that by inventing Thinx, which is supposed to have antimicrobial properties so they don't smell, with a moisture wicking layer so they don't feel wet, and an absorbent layer so they are leak proof.

How long can you wear Thinx?

Thinx will last at maximum tech performance for industry standard of 40 washes or ~2 years, if cared for properly. This means washing them on a gentle cycle with the rest of your delicates, never using bleach or fabric softener, and hang drying!
