Underpants of the future that replace pads and tampons

WONDERZINE talks about beautiful, functional or strange things that you want to buy immediately.

Progress, as we know, does not stand still - but its paths are inscrutable. Until that day, it seemed to us that any thing imaginable most likely already exists. But, it turns out, there is also the unimaginable: reusable absorbent underpants, which outwardly do not differ in any way from ordinary, even if not the most outstanding, linen. THINX is available in three models and two colors: black and beige. There are thongs on "light days" (absorbency from half the middle tampon), chikini with half-open booty (one tampon in volume), and "heavy artillery" - classic slips that can withstand as much as two tampons. As the creators of the miracle underwear promise, their three-layer design is ultra-thin, anti-bacterial, hypoallergenic and able to completely replace gaskets. In addition, this underwear can be worn by those who prefer tampons or menstrual cups, but a little afraid of leaks. The creators offer to buy a set of three pairs at a discount, if you, of course, "are not a unicorn and menstruation go more than one day." Briefs are easy to wash - first under cold water, then in a typewriter with all the other clothes; their inner layer is made of cotton, the outer is made of spandex, and all the magic happens between them using some kind of patented technology.

THINX invented and developed seven girls and one young man from New York, and they make them in family production in Sri Lanka. The company not only supports the idea of fair trade, but also helps girls from disadvantaged countries. A percentage of the sale of each pair of THINX is transferred to the AFRIpads fund, which helps Ugandan women, where 94% of girls and women suffer, including the menstruation taboo. The story of the creation of the brand says that once, during a trip to Africa, the co-founder of the brand Miki saw a lonely girl on the street and asked why she was not at school. She replied that she had a "week of shame": during menstruation in some regions, girls are forbidden to be in society, and they simply have no special hygiene products. So, acquiring THINX can improve not only your life. It seems worth a try.
