We all dread that time of the month. Despite our desire to follow our regular routine, it’s difficult to be as active when we are uncomfortable in our pad or tampon. Even after having our periods for years and years, it seems that it will never be something we just get used to. However, periods are especially burdensome to young girls and teens who have to experience this new change in their life while attending school everyday. With these tweens and teens in mind THINX, the brand behind period underwear, launched a line called THINX (BTWN).
THINX (BTWN) is a line of period underwear made for girls ages 9 through 16. One of the most asked questions about period underwear is “Are they gross?” and the answer is no. Through the period-proof, four layer technology of THINX underwear, girls can feel as if they are wearing regular underwear—without the bulk and texture of a pad. The organic cotton material is soft and provides a level of comfort you would never expect on your period.
The underwear is not only comfortable and environmentally friendly—reducing the plastic waste from tampons and pads, it also has extra factors to address the concerns that a young girl may have. The teen line has higher absorbency, being able to hold an amount equal to two tampons or three teaspoons, which allows girls to attend school without having to worry about changing throughout the day. During the first few years of a girl’s period, flows are often irregular, so the underwear allows girls to have an easier transition into their periods. When girls wear THINX (BTWN), they can be prepared to get their period, worryfree.
Named after the start of another cycle, New Moon, a soft heather gray, is the newest color of THINX (BTWN) underwear. This versatile color doesn’t show under white and light colors. The New Moon underwear comes in three different styles, the shorty, brief, and bikini, and can be worn with anything, from sports uniforms to school clothes.
Getting your period may be a difficult time especially for younger girls, so with a little bit of science and magic, THINX (BTWN) presents a great solution to ease girls into their periods. Wearing beautiful styles and colors like New Moon, girls can continue to shine and be active.
