I guess everyone has seen Thinx’s compelling ads on Facebook and Instagram. I have and got so excited to try for the first time of my life period panties which would bring at least a little bit of comfort during my long and painful week. So here is my detailed review after having been using those panties for one year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Period panties, what is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to your flow, period panties can be used as a tampon back up to prevent leakage or to be worn alone to replace your current period protection (tampons, pads, cups…).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinx offers period underwear in a wide range of colors, styles, and sizes, from XS to 3XL.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shipping & Delivery <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When I went to the USA for vacation, I ordered 3 Thinx panties to be sent to my hotel in Miami. I didn’t want to order from Europe, as customs fees for purchasing from Europe would be almost as expensive as the panties themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being in Miami for only one week, I paid $5 for fast shipping, which meant the panties would arrive 2 days later. But I didn’t know I also had to wait 2 days for my package to be dispatched, meaning 4 working days in total.<\/strong> I don’t know if you Americans think it’s fast, but even in France, 4 working days equals standard shipping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinx also offers free shipping in the USA for the first order, but it means 2 working days dispatching and 4 working days for delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, it arrived the day I supposed to leave Miami.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Without any coupons, expect to pay between $32 and $42. It’s pretty expensive especially when it’s recommended to buy 6 of those to cover a 5-day-period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got a $10 off as first-customers. This link will give you $10 off<\/a> if you decide to give them a go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, if you order them from abroad, you will have to pay at least 20\u20ac extra for customs. Yep, Thinx doesn’t cover it, unlike Yesstyle or other international shipping friendly companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are from Europe<\/strong>, it’s better to buy from resellers such as Mademoiselle Bio<\/a> (and get 5\u20ac off your first order using my referral email: contact @ tourdumonde5continents.com<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design & Sizing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to Thinx’s Know your flow<\/em> test, I need 3 Super Hip-hugger panties and 3 Hip-hugger panties to cover my 5-day-period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I only bought 3 Super Hip-hugger panties, equivalent to 3-4 tampons each, intending to use them as my only period protection, while washing them every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was disappointed when I saw its grandma look. My European size is 36, and I believe that Thinx’s XS is between 36 and 38. Europeans might find Thinx run big, while Americans consider that Thinx run tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first good surprise: the absorbency zone (which is darker in the pictures) is huge: the front is half covered by the absorbency zone, and the rear is covered up to the lower back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
