Some clever people have finally come up with a solution for those stressful stain and leak situations during your period.
Developed by two sisters and a friend, the Thinx underwear range uses self-absorbing, leak-proof technology that claims to eradicate stains and leaks entirely – and on lighter days can even replace tampons or menstrual cups.
They come in three options, including a lacy thong. These machine-washable undies are a great solution for women who don’t have adequate access to feminine hygiene products.
Unfortunately, they are super pricey at the moment, ranging from R300 to R400 a pair.
