Speax 101
Speax is machine washable and reusable underwear for bladder leaks; our undies feature three layers of absorbent technology built in the gusset: an innermost layer of moisture-wicking cotton, a super absorbent inner lining, and an outermost layer that acts as a leak-resistant barrier — so, you stay fresh and dry while still feeling like yourself.
Speax styles offer ultra-light protection for leaks up to 3 tsp and moderate protection for leaks up to 8 tsp absorbencies. Our ultra-thin tech is built-in the gusset of every pair of underwear. It is absorbent, moisture-wicking, anti-odor, and protects against wetness—so you stay fresh and dry all day.
They sure are! Speax is machine washable and reusable, so you can wear and wash it just like regular underwear! High-five for being a thoughtful, sustainable human!
Our absorbent tech is built-in the gusset of every pair of underwear, sitting under the entire front of the vulva, with extra length in the back — covering the surface area necessary to absorb light to moderate bladder leaks. It is absorbent, moisture-wicking, and protects against wetness—so you stay fresh and dry all day.
We made Speax with ultra-thin, built-in technology designed to absorb without bulking up or spilling over, and our moisture-wicking barrier helps prevent wetness, so you stay fresh and dry all day. Any consistent feeling of moisture is a signal that you have surpassed the undies' capacity and should change into a fresh pair.
We designed Speax to absorb light to moderate bladder leaks, up to 8 tsp. Unfortunately, they cannot support a full bladder release. We hope to make a heavy moderate in the future.
Our underwear is 100% latex-free! Our elastane is composed of a long chain polymer known as polyurethane, known in technical circles as a polyether-polyurea copolymer, and used for having breathable and water-resistant qualities. Elastane is an entirely synthetic fabric; it does not contain organic materials and does not exist anywhere in nature. So: no latex! Bear in mind that Speax styles do feature exposed elastic.
Yes! We don’t apply any perfume or fragrance to any of our materials. All of our products are fragrance-free!
Yes! Speax might be your new workout buddy, wicking away moisture and protecting you from jump-induced leaks!
Speax underwear isn’t stain-proof, though the materials used in our absorbent gusset are largely stain-resistant. Speax underwear is also lined in black to prevent stains from showing. To help avoid staining, we recommend washing your underwear on cold and hang drying.
Here is a breakdown of the material used in our underwear: Body: 78% Nylon, 22% Spandex Gusset: 80% Polyester, 20% Nylon Gusset Lining: 100% Polyester

Select *your* style
We recommend following the hip measurement to find the most accurate size. Be sure to measure your hips at their widest point, derriere included! Speax does have a bit of a natural stretch size down if you’re in between sizes.
Our ultra-light absorbency Thong style holds up to 3 tsp of liquid, while our moderate absorbency styles hold up to 8 tsp. We hope to make a heavy-moderate absorbency in the future.
We have decided not to restock the light absorbency. We’ve found that most of our customers prefer the additional coverage and increased absorbency of the moderate. We do, however, understand this might not be the preference of every customer. We apologize for any inconvenience! For ultra-light protection, try our Thong style!
Unfortunately, the advanced fabrics used to bring Speax to life don't allow us to make a 100% cotton option.

How to care
Speax is machine washable and reusable. Wear, wash, and wear again, just as you would regular underwear. Machine wash your Speax on cold with the rest of your laundry. Be sure to avoid the use of bleach or fabric softener. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron. Check out our How to Wash page for more information and helpful tips!
Yes, washing Speax with your other laundry is perfectly hygienic and won’t stain your other clothes. If you’re still concerned, you can also give your undies a quick rinse after use, allow them to dry, then throw them in the hamper for laundry day.
Machine-wash your Speax on cold. The standard cold wash is 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit (15 C - 27 C). If you're hand-washing, the water should feel close to room temperature.
We advise against using fabric softener because it breaks down the built-in gusset technology and the bonding around the seams. Fabric softener works by coating the yarns of fabric to make it feel softer. Using fabric softener on our products, over time, will render the gusset materials less absorbent.
Most styles of Speax shouldn’t take longer than 10-12 hours to dry under non-humid conditions. These drying times may be affected by humidity levels and airflow depending on where you hang them up.
Don’t worry — forgetting to separate them a few times won’t break Speax. However, repeated exposure to high temperature can change the fit of the underwear (and even cause shrinkage!), so try not to make a habit of it.
The underwear shouldn’t be prone to shrinking if the recommended care instructions are followed, but what may cause some shrinking is consistently drying the undies on high. To avoid this, try your best to separate Speax in the laundry to dry them low, or hang them up to dry.
If your Speax needs extra TLC, try a vinegar soak. Before washing your underwear for bladder leakage, soak them in the sink or a clean tub with one cup of white vinegar and some cold water. Leave them there for about 15 to 30 minutes, then clean them in the washing machine. You can also add a little white vinegar to the wash if you think they need it.
As long as you wash and care for your Speax properly, the undies should last approximately two years. Machine wash Speax on cold with the rest of your delicates, avoid using bleach or fabric softener, and tumble dry low or hang drying! No ironing, please!
We know that some of our fibers do not decompose quickly into the soil; however, we’re proud to say: that our underwear for bladder leaks *can* be recycled! Here’s how to do it: Wash your Speax until they’re squeaky clean. Cut out the absorbent gusset ✂. Drop off the remaining fabric in a textile recycling bin ♻. Textile scraps are re-purposed into carpet padding, car filling, insulation, etc. Downcycling and upcycling are great ways garments can live beyond their lifetime!

Mission + ethics
Thinx Inc. (Speax, Thinx, and Thinx Teens) aims to create underwear that champions and supports bodies throughout different stages of life. From your first period to post-menopause and all the leaks in between. We aim to empower our customers with sustainable solutions while breaking taboos around bladder leaks and menstruation.
We craft our underwear carefully and consciously, from sustainable manufacturing processes to ethical working conditions. We’re proud to work with MAS, a global leader in ethical manufacturing based in Sri Lanka. MAS operates under three pillars: products changed for good, our planet changed for good, and lives changed for good. Visit our manufacturing page to learn more about how we make our underwear and the incredible people who make them!
Since day one, giving back to our community has been at the core of our mission. We're committed to paying it forward through our giveback programs and initiatives. When you purchase from Speax and our sister brands, you're supporting our mission to empower *every body* through advocating for sustainable, scalable solutions to ending period poverty — learn more here. In addition, we're honored to team up with organizations doing incredible work as our quarterly cart donation partners.

Thinx Inc. (Speax, Thinx, and Thinx Teens) aims to create underwear that champions and supports bodies throughout different stages of life. From your first period to post-menopause and all the leaks in between. We aim to empower our customers with sustainable solutions while breaking taboos around bladder leaks and menstruation.
We craft our underwear carefully and consciously, from sustainable manufacturing processes to ethical working conditions. We’re proud to work with MAS, a global leader in ethical manufacturing based in Sri Lanka. MAS operates under three pillars: products changed for good, our planet changed for good, and lives changed for good. Visit our manufacturing page to learn more about how we make our underwear and the incredible people who make them!
Since day one, giving back to our community has been at the core of our mission. We're committed to paying it forward through our giveback programs and initiatives. When you purchase from Speax and our sister brands, you're supporting our mission to empower *every body* through advocating for sustainable, scalable solutions to ending period poverty — learn more here. In addition, we're honored to team up with organizations doing incredible work as our quarterly cart donation partners. Past partners have included The Trevor Project, the Black Mamas Matter Alliance, the Chicago Period Project, and others.

About us
Thinx Inc. encompasses Thinx period-absorbing underwear and apparel; Thinx Teens™ period-absorbing underwear for teens; and Speax underwear for bladder leakage! Together, we're a multigenerational platform, here for you through all of life's leaks.
If you're a long-time shopper, you may remember us as Icon. In July 2019, we changed our name to Speax to better align with our sister brands, Thinx and Thinx Teens™. Together we think about and speak about bladder leaks and periods to dismantle the stigmas associated with them and provide innovative resources to *everybody* that needs them.
Speax gusset construction has been re-designed to be bonded and sewn. We also updated the styles with leg elastic which leads to a better fit.
Speax is underwear for light to moderate bladder leaks, while Thinx is period-absorbing underwear. The 3-layer tech that makes these products absorbent is very similar; however, the specific makeup and composition of the layers differ slightly between the products to account for the differences in pH and viscosity of each type of leak.
The construction of Speax underwear for bladder leaks differs from Thinx, as do the underwear styles, so sizing is also different. Our underwear styles currently extend through 4X for Thinx and 5XL for Speax. We recommend following the hip measurement for both brands to find the most accurate size for you, as most of our underwear styles sit on the hips.
We designed Speax specifically to tackle the pH and viscosity of light to moderate bladder leaks, which is lower than that of menstrual flow. If you experience light incontinence and are on your period, we recommend using Speax to best protect against leaks. However, we don't recommend using Thinx or Thinx Teens™ to protect against bladder leaks.
If you experience light incontinence and your period, Speax would be your best bet to prevent all your leaks. We don't recommend using Thinx for your bladder leaks.
Thinx Inc. underwear is certified based on the rigorous chemical safety requirements of the STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® [20.HUS.04850 | HOHENSTEIN HTTI]. We ensure that all materials from suppliers are OEKO-TEX® certified, too. We also test our finished products through an accredited, globally recognized third-party laboratory to ensure they are compliant with U.S. and international regulations. We conduct absorbency testing — which measures the absorbency capacity of each underwear style, and usability tests — which evaluate the absorbency capacity of each underwear style while worn by actual people who experience periods and bladder leaks. We use fit models to ensure our products sit just right! Download copies of our certifications and learn more about our Product Safety.

Bladder leak info
Bladder leaks are way more common than most people are ready to admit! 1 in 3 women experience bladder leaks. At Speax, we aim to empower our customers with sustainable solutions while breaking the taboo and stigma around bladder leaks.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all answer to *why* leaks happen. Several life experiences, such as perimenopause and menopause, pregnancy and childbirth, and physical exertion, may increase your odds. Bladder leaks can also spring from having surgery that affects your pelvic floor muscles (ex. hysterectomy) or as an offshoot of an underlying health condition. Whatever the reason for your leak, Speax is the sustainable solution to staying fresh and dry all day while still feeling like yourself!
The answer to why you’re leaking involves the state of your pelvic floor, in one way or another. There are a variety of healing techniques that can help overcome pelvic floor dysfunction, including breathing exercises such as yoga or meditation, pelvic floor exercises (think Kegels), pelvic floor physical therapy, mindful eating, and improving stress levels. To learn more, check out our Pelvic Health 101.

Referral
Our referral program is a way for you to spread the love! If you refer a friend, they get $10 to spend on any Thinx, Thinx Teens, or Speax product. If they make a purchase, you also get $10 in credits. You can stack as many credits as you want and use them to get free underwear! To get started, sign up above, or login to your account. Share your unique referral link directly or through email, SMS, WhatsApp, or Facebook!
If you’re being referred, you don’t need an account (but we encourage creating one so you can start referring and earning credits toward more pairs!).
You view the referral credit you've earned by clicking logging into your account here. If you are referring others, your credits will be unlocked after one week — unless the person you referred to has canceled their order. For more information, visit our Referral page, Give $10, get $10!
Nope! You can earn unlimited credits and stack them to redeem unlimited free underwear!
For every new customer you refer, you will earn $10 in credit that can be used on any product of any of our brands at thinx.com. This means if you refer 3 new customers, you can spend that $30 on one pair of underwear, or split it across however many orders you’d like until it’s all spent.
With each referral, you earn ten credits, which is the equivalent of $10! One credit = $1.
No, the credits are calculated in USD and can’t be converted to other currencies due to limitations with our partner, FriendBuy. If you select your local currency from the currency dropdown, prices on the site will be reflected in that currency but your credits will be in USD.
If you are the referrer, you can stack your referral credits with up to one discount code and use an unlimited amount of gift cards. If you are the referee, your code is not stackable with other promo codes.
You can only refer new customers.
No, you can refer as many people as you want, so refer away!
Our third-party partner, FriendBuy, which enables our referral program, is accepted in most countries, except for Ivory Coast, Togo, Ghana, Nigeria, China, Hong Kong, Philippines, and Russia — where FriendBuy is blocked. If you reside in one of these countries, you are unfortunately ineligible to refer or be referred by others. We're sorry about the inconvenience!
If you’re referring others, your credits will be unlocked in one week, as long as whoever you referred has not canceled their order. If you’re a new customer being referred by another, you can use your referral code immediately to get $10 off on your first order.
Unfortunately, if your referral cancels their order, you won’t receive the $10 credit.
Yep! At checkout, you can decide how many credits you want to apply to your order. You can apply them all at once or just use some of them and save the rest for later.
Yes! Credits can be used on any of our sister brands: Thinx, period underwear; Thinx Teens, period underwear for teens; and Speax, underwear for bladder leaks.
No, credits don’t expire!
