Thinx Teens undies absorb your flow, control odor, wick moisture, and prevent leaks — so you can feel fresh, dry, and comfy! No pads, tampons, or other period products needed. Check out our Product Info page to — you guessed it — learn more about how Thinx Teens work! And if you want to learn more about how *periods* work, we’ve got a page for that, too.
Each pair holds up to 5 regular tampons’ worth of flow, which is the equivalent of 2.5 pads (45mL). For some flows, Thinx Teens™ will last all day, no other period products needed!
Because every period is different, it varies! To find out what works best for you, we recommend trying Thinx Teens at home first, especially if you’re still getting to know your period. If the underwear starts to feel bulky, wet, or if you notice your flow spreading to the seams, these are signs that it’s time for a fresh pair!
Depending on your flow, you may need to pack an extra pair of Thinx Teens to get through the day — no big deal! Our undies are lightweight and easy to store, so an extra pair will fit perfectly in any backpack or gym bag. We suggest bringing along a resealable bag, pouch, or wet bag — so that you can put your used pair of Thinx Teens away until you get home.
Nope. The interior of the Thinx Teens underwear is lined with black fabric, so you never look down and see period stains.
Yes! Our period underwear is machine washable and reusable! Just wash on cold and hang up to dry!
Yup! Thinx Teens sustainable period underwear can be worn alone — no other period products are required. If you feel more comfortable wearing them as back-up protection to other period products, go ahead! Wear them however you prefer, but we *always* suggest you try Thinx Teens at home first to understand how it works for your body and your period.
Thinx Teens are designed to fit close to the body to help prevent period leaks and stains. If you put a pad or pantyliner on top of your Thinx Teens, the gusset won’t be close enough to the body to absorb your period. For folks who usually wear pads and pantyliners, we recommend wearing + changing a couple pairs of Thinx Teens throughout the day, depending on how heavy your flow is (without any other products). Folks who like to wear tampons can wear Thinx Teens as a backup since tampons don’t take up space outside the body, but again, no other period products are needed in order to protect you from leaks!
Purchasing one of our Fresh Start Period Kits is a great way to have multiple pairs on hand, but some people start with just 1 pair and wash them throughout their cycle (daily). Ultimately, it’s up to you on how you want to use Thinx Teens — do what’s best for your lifestyle + flow.
Yes! Our underwear have a moisture-wicking layer that draws away wetness and neutralizes odors. Plus, they are super-absorbent and breathable so you always feel fresh and dry.
Our undies are built with various layers of fabric that wick away moisture quickly and control odor — leaving you feeling fresh and dry.
They’re super easy to care for. Toss them in a normal load of laundry on a delicate cycle before first wear and after each use — the other clothes will be fine! (No bleach or fabric softener.) Be sure to hang dry after washing, since the heat from the dryer and irons hurts the undies’ elasticity, which helps keep leaks in. (And if you accidentally dry them once or twice, it’s not the end of the world.) Check out the full care instructions here.
We don’t recommend using these undies as a swimsuit because we can’t guarantee the period absorbency will work in the water.
Here’s the fabric breakdown for all of our styles: body: 95% cotton, 5% elastane; gusset: 100% polyester. The underwear is made with cotton, so only natural fiber touches the most sensitive areas.
Our underwear is consciously crafted in Sri Lanka, at an award-winning factory that prioritizes sustainability, work/life balance, and female leadership.
Some retailers offer Thinx Teens in stores and you can always buy Thinx Teens directly from our website!
Our undies are machine washable, reusable, and absorbent — there’s *a lot* of science and development that goes into making them, and making sure they last. Disposable products can only be used once, but Thinx Teens can last up to 2 years — that means over time you can save serious $$$ while being eco-friendly!
All Thinx Teens undies are full-coverage, provide maximum absorbency across all styles, and are specifically designed for younger bodies and early periods. On the other hand, Thinx offers a range of styles for adults who know their flow and can pick their perfect fit from a range of styles + absorbencies.
No! Our absorbent underwear is lightweight but super-absorbent — so it won’t bulk up while keeping your tween or teen protected. The fabric is also moisture-wicking, so they'll always feel fresh and dry.
For some flows, our 5 regular tampons' worth absorbency undies can last between 8 - 12 hours. But every period is different. We suggest you try Thinx Teens at home first to understand how it works for you. You should change into a fresh pair of undies if you feel any consistent dampness or notice your flow spreading to the seams.

Thinx Teens should fit slightly more snug than your regular underwear to provide maximum protection from leaks. We recommend following the hip measurement, as most of our styles sit on the hips. Be sure to measure the hips at your widest point (derriere included!) Take a peek at our handy sizing chart to get the right measurements for the perfect fit.
Great news! Our Thinx line is underwear that absorbs your period, designed specifically for adults — made made with taller, curvier bodies in mind (people who have already finished puberty). Thinx offers a range of styles for adults including activewear and apparel in sizes XS-4X, with a variety of absorbency levels from 1 to 5 regular tampons’ worth to support more predictable flows.
Thinx Teens are designed specifically for teen body shapes and sizes in full-coverage styles that provide maximum absorbency, to support first and early periods, which can be uneven and inconsistent.

Your period is one phase of your menstrual cycle, which in total typically lasts 21 to 45 days. The ~flow~ of blood and tissue you experience (your period!) happens about halfway through that cycle. Roughly once a month, beginning at puberty, your body prepares for an egg to be fertilized (possible pregnancy). During this time, the lining of your uterus thickens around the egg. When you don’t become pregnant, your body sheds the built up lining of the uterus that it no longer needed and releases the unfertilized egg. This is referred to as menstruation, or what we call a “period" — menstrual blood and tissue flow from your uterus through the small opening in your cervix and pass out of your body through your vagina.
*Every body* is different, and it’s no big deal to get your period before or after your friends. Some people get their first period as early as 8 or 9 years old, others get them as late as 16. First periods often happen around the same time in life for people who are related to one another, so if you can, ask someone related to you with a period when they got theirs to get some idea of when you’ll get yours.
Ovulation refers to the phase of your cycle when an egg is released from the ovaries. Pregnancy occurs when an egg is fertilized by sperm. When an egg isn't fertilized by sperm, your body sends the signal that you're not pregnant and begins getting ready to shed the uterine lining. A couple weeks after ovulation, you'll get your period, which is how your body naturally flushes out blood, mucus, and tissue out of your cervix. This cycle repeats itself every month.
*Every body* is different! You may feel a little wetness (more than usual vaginal discharge) or you may not feel your period flow at all, instead you’ll just notice some color on your undies.
The amount of time you’ll bleed every month can vary from 3 to 7 days, but it’s normal for your period to vary a little from cycle to cycle. If you notice blood for longer than 7 days, it’s a good idea to check with your doctor to make sure everything is okay.
Every period is unique. Many things can affect the frequency in which you get your period such as stress, hormones, pregnancy, or even medications such as birth control, but the average period occurs monthly or every 28 days. Some cycles can even be longer or shorter than this –– which is normal too! You can always check with your doctor if you think something is amiss with your cycle.
On average, you lose 2 to 7 teaspoons of menstrual fluid while on your period. That might seem like a lot, especially when you're changing your period products, but that's because menstrual fluid is made up of a bit more than just blood. Menstrual fluid is actually a combination of blood and tissue from your uterine lining, which is also why you might notice clots or other textures that differ from a regular cut. If you’re ever concerned that you’re losing too much menstrual fluid, check-in with your doctor to make sure everything is okay, or ask an adult to help you set up an appointment.
Periods come in all different colors and textures — some are more red and liquidy, others may be brown and clumpy. Brown blood is just blood that’s a bit older. Some people notice brown blood before they see red (on or before day 1), others have brown blood at the end of their period (day 5, or whenever your period ends). If you’ve just started your period, you may only see brown stuff, and that’s totally normal.
Periods are different for *every body* and yours can even be different from cycle to cycle. You may start with a light flow, have heavy days in the middle, and finish off with a light flow; or have heavy flows at the beginning and then lighter days only at the end; or something else! You’ll get to know *your* flow over time and understand what heavy, moderate, and light days mean for you.
Absolutely! You can do *anything* on your period—swim, dance, wear white pants, go camping, whatever — you may just want to use different period products depending on the activity. However, we don't recommend using our products underwater.
Your period is just one phase of your menstrual cycle, which in total typically lasts 21 - 45 days. The ~flow~ of blood and tissue you experience (your period!) happens about halfway through that cycle.
PMS stands for premenstrual syndrome and it’s often defined by symptoms you may feel, physically and emotionally, before you get your period. PMS symptoms can include cramps, sore boobs, laziness, moodiness, or an appetite for certain foods (we *always* crave pizza!). A lot of times, PMS symptoms show up a few days before your flow starts and can be helpful signs to let you know to wear your Thinx Teens in preparation for what’s to come.
Periods are 100% normal and nothing to be ashamed about! It may feel super-awkward, but it doesn’t have to be. For some it’s easy to blurt this kinda stuff out, others find it is easier to write a note or send a text. Your friends or any adults you trust can be a helpful support system when you need assurance or advice.
Who you decide to share your period with is your choice, but in many cases sharing with someone you trust is helpful and can lead to some really awesome tips on what products to use and how to feel better if you have PMS symptoms. Periods are nothing to be ashamed of or hide!
We’re so glad you asked! Not all bodies experience periods, only bodies with uteruses. These bodies produce certain hormones (naturally-occurring chemicals in our bodies) that make a menstrual cycle happen, which is a fancy way of saying that they make a period happen. Bodies without uteruses (such as bodies with penises) don’t experience periods because they don’t have a uterus.
Periods begin at puberty, between the ages of 8 and 16. and last until you enter what’s called menopause. This happens for most people between the ages of 45 and 55, and, like your period, menopause will come with some new physical and emotional changes. Fun, we know!

They’re super easy to care for. Toss them in a normal load of laundry on a delicate cycle before first wear and after each use — the other clothes will be fine! (No bleach or fabric softener.) Be sure to hang dry after washing, since the heat from the dryer and irons hurts the undies’ elasticity, which helps keep leaks in. (And if you accidentally dry them once or twice, it’s not the end of the world.) Check out the full care instructions here.
Thinx Teens undies can last up to 2 years (or longer!) if cared for properly. This means washing on cold, never using bleach or fabric softener, and hang drying!
You can recycle your period-absorbing underwear by cutting out the absorbent gusset and disposing of it. Then you can donate the remaining clean fabric in your local textile recycling bin.
Thinx Teens should not retain a scent — but if you think they need a li'l extra love, try a vinegar soak. Before you wash your undies, submerge them in a clean basin or sink with one cup of white vinegar and 1-2 cups of water. Soak for about 15 to 30 minutes, then toss 'em in the washing machine as usual.Note: If your period begins to smell different (especially fishy), that might mean something is amiss down there, and it might be a good idea to check in with your doctor.
