fit
The positioning and thickness of the gusset varies across styles, depending on absorbency. These styles have extra back coverage and fit true to size, but for the best fit, we recommend going up one size so you have a little extra room.
The Heavy and Super Hiphugger styles are perfect for heavy flow days. Wear the Sleep Shorts for overnight leak protection (they even have pockets!).

Thinx is machine-washable and reusable period-absorbing underwear — providing a more sustainable alternative to single-use disposable products. Thinx underwear for periods is designed in a range of absorbencies, from lightest to super, to support every stage of your flow. Every pair of Thinx period-absorbing underwear features our signature, innovative built-in technology — a moisture-wicking top layer, an absorbent core layer, and an outermost leak-resistant barrier. Check out our How Thinx Work page to learn more.
Every flow is different! You can wear Thinx underwear for periods for as long as your flow allows. The absorbency style also plays a factor, as some underwear styles are more absorbent than others.
We recommend following the hip measurement to find the most accurate size. Be sure to measure your hips at their widest point, derrière included! We recommend sizing up in underwear styles that fit below the natural waist, or if you're looking for the best fit postpartum. The underwear should fit snugly but not so tight that it becomes uncomfortable.
