SIS, LET’S CATCH A CASE
LEAKING A PERIOD PROOF STRATEGY
Thinx, the groundbreaking period underwear brand, was launched in 2013 by Miki Agrawal, driven by her frustration with conventional menstrual products. Thinx’s goal was to provide a sustainable, reusable alternative that eliminates the discomfort and environmental impact of disposable period products.
As the brand grew, Thinx positioned itself as an inclusive solution, offering options not just for menstruators but also for teens and those dealing with bladder leaks. Thinx's innovative approach addressed both environmental concerns and the taboo around menstruation, bringing forward an eco-friendly and stigma-free product.
Thinx targets menstruators of all ages, particularly those who prioritize sustainability and body positivity. Their inclusive product line extends from period underwear for adults and teens to leakproof underwear for those dealing with incontinence. The brand’s messaging is shaped around addressing core pain points, such as the discomfort and hassle of traditional menstrual products, with solutions that focus on comfort, durability, and sustainability
