Company mission
Thinx's mission is to transform menstrual hygiene by designing innovative and sustainable period solutions. They aim to empower their customers and challenge taboos by changing the conversation around menstruation, reproductive health and incontinence.

Our take
Women in the US can struggle to access comfortable, affordable and effective sanitary products. Thinx designs clothing products that are lined with period-absorbing technology, providing comfortable and environmentally friendly solutions for sensitive problems.
Despite the forward-thinking nature of Thinx, they are still presented with serious competition. Brands such as Sirona Hygiene, The Flex Company and MonthlyCup are also working on wearable sanitary solutions for the $15 billion feminine hygiene market. However, Thinx have found their niche within this competitive market by focussing on providing solutions for all body types. They do this through a broad selection of performance underwear, activewear and other reusable feminine care items.
The company aims to use new resources to continue scaling current product offerings whilst expanding into additional types of wearable sanitary products.
