How many hours can you wear Thinx? (2023)

How long can you wear a pair of Thinx?

You can typically wear Thinx underwear for 24 hours, just like you do for your normal underwear. On extremely heavy days do you may need to change once every 12 hours.

Can you wear period underwear all day? This will depend on your flow but period underwear can be worn all day if it's the right level of absorbency for what you need. Most period underwear brands suggest changing when you feel wetness – this is a sign it has absorbed all it's able to.

Absorbed blood can build up in the gusset, which may cause an odor or affect the performance of your period-absorbing underwear. If your Thinx needs a little TLC, try a vinegar soak. Before washing your Thinx, soak them in the sink or a clean tub with one cup of white vinegar and some cold water.

What will happen? If your period-absorbing underwear accidentally goes through the dryer, don't stress! Thinx can take a tumble or two in a dryer without affecting their integrity. To prolong their lifespan, however, we recommend steering clear of the dryer for the most part.

Thinx will last at their maximum tech performance for the industry standard of 40 washes or around 2 years, if cared for properly. This means washing them on a gentle cycle with the rest of your delicates, never using bleach or fabric softener, and always hang drying!

They really don't leak as long as you know your flow. Let me explain. Thinx won't leak from the bottom because of their leak-proof layer, the 3rd layer. Thinx also don't leak from the sides when you walk around or even when you exercise, because the design in the gusset part (in your crotch) fits really well.

Period pants like our Hipster period underwear for heavy flow can hold fluid in securely for up to 12 hours, so they're the perfect thing to wear overnight while on your period. And without worries about staining your pyjamas or sheets, you're sure to get a good night's sleep.

No matter how light your flow is, or even if there is no flow, bacteria can build up. Changing your pad every 3 or 4 hours (more if your period is heavy) is good hygiene and helps prevent bad odors.

And unfortunately, while our kicka$$ tech is great at absorbing your flow… it's not exactly waterproof. So while wearing your Thinx to the pool will look cute (leotard, anyone?), once you dive in, it'll immediately fill with up to ½ - 4 tampons' worth of water – and there won't be anymore room for blood.

Our absorbent, quick-drying leakproof incontinence underwear hold up to 8 teaspoons of liquid — a solution for light to moderate bladder leaks.

Are Thinx supposed to be tight?

Thinx styles are completely true to size, which is why using our sizing chart is definitely your best bet for an accurate fit. It's also important to remember that our undies fit a little more snugly than your regular underwear, for max leak protection.

As soon as you take off your Thinx, rinse them in cold water to get rid of any blood. Hold them under the faucet and squeeze them until the water that comes out is clean. Then, put them in the washing machine when you get the chance. Put them in a delicates bag and wash them with cool water and detergent.

can I wash Thinx with my other clothes? Washing Thinx with the rest of your laundry is perfectly hygienic and won't stain your other clothes — washing machines will dilute the blood almost immediately, and other garments will not stain if you're washing on cold.

Because of the technology used to develop fabric that can hold multiple tampons' worth of blood, it's generally not recommended to wear pads with your absorbent undies. Experts at Modibodi, Thinx, and Knix agree you can nix pads altogether.

Trapped moisture provides a breeding ground for bacteria and fungus, and wearing a pad for too long can lead to an infection, including a yeast infection.

Wearing one pad for way too long:

If you do not change your pads frequently (at least every 6-8 hours), you are much more prone to develop rashes and vaginal yeast infections with the side effect of bad odour. No matter how light your flow is, it's always safe to change your pad.

How much blood do you lose on your period per day?

Usually, menstrual bleeding lasts about 4 to 5 days and the amount of blood lost is small (2 to 3 tablespoons).

Use a tampon, sponge, or cup while swimming

If you can't or don't want to use a tampon or alternative product like a sponge or menstrual cup, you have a few options. If your flow is light, you can wear absorbent swimwear or a dark-colored suit to prevent stains.

Thinx leaves it up to you how you want to wear the undies. Basically, the heavy-day style holds up to two tampons worth of blood. Only you know your flow, so you can wear them as a backup to pads, tampons, or cups, or you can wear them on their own.

The main two differences are that Speax is for urine-proof underwear, while Thinx is more for period-proof underwear. Because of that, there is a big discrepancy in absorbency, with Speax being able to hold much more liquid than Thinx.

These are underwear that contain built-in pads that absorb moisture and odor. They are machine washable and environmentally friendly, but may not be sturdy enough for heavy flow days.
