TAMPONS CAN BE finicky. Pads can feel like you’re wearing a nappy. Is there any sanitary product out there that actually wants to work with women? There is now.
THINX, a new range of period-proof underwear, is the brainchild of businesswomen Antonia Dunbar, Miki Agrawal and Radha Agrawal.

Miki Agrawal came up with the idea after blood leaked on her white skirt during a meeting, and she had to run home and change.
She says:
I thought to myself, why they don’t make underwear that is leak and stain resistant? And wouldn’t it be great if they did ?
The THINX underwear comes in three styles, each with its own level of absorbency and protection – for example the hip huggers, designed for your heavy days, can hold up to two tampons worth of blood.
Currently, the range is designed to be used alongside sanitary pads and tampons, but Agrawal’s vision is for them to replace feminine hygiene products completely.
