Thinx Ultra-Soft Leakproof Briefs for Women - Comfortable, Up to 12

In this review of the Thinx Ultra-Soft Leakproof Briefs for Women, the bottom line is simple: these are period underwear for someone who wants real all-day protection without sacrificing the feel of regular underwear. The most compelling reason to buy is the combination of a buttery-soft SUPIMA Cotton and TENCEL Modal blend with a super absorbent core that claims to hold up to 12 regular tampons' worth of flow. For those seeking a reusable, leakproof alternative or a reliable backup to tampons and cups, these briefs deliver comfort and dependable protection.

Key Features

• Buttery-soft fabric: The main material blends SUPIMA Cotton and TENCEL Modal to feel like regular underwear even on sensitive skin.
• High absorbency: The super absorbent core is designed to hold up to 12 regular tampons' worth of flow for extended protection.
• LeakSafe barrier: Built-in leakproof layers provide up to 12 hours of leak protection for daytime or overnight wear.
• Comfort and flexibility: The briefs are cut in a classic brief style and move with the body so they can be worn all day without pinching.
• Reusable and washable: Machine washable construction makes these a sustainable replacement for disposable pads and tampons.
• PFAS-free and eligible: Made without PFAS and eligible for FSA/HSA purchase where applicable, supporting safer long-term wear.

Who It's For

These briefs suit people who want a reusable, higher-absorbency option for moderate to heavy menstrual days or as a backup to internal protection. They work well for anyone prioritizing soft fabrics during their period, including those who prefer natural fibers like SUPIMA Cotton and the smooth hand of TENCEL Modal.

Those who need minimal-coverage liners or who want an almost-invisible low-rise hipster may prefer a different cut, and users who dislike any added thickness at the gusset should note that customers have mixed views on the absorbent core thickness.
