The writer, Safiya, tests Thinx Period Panties for her menstrual cycle. She tries three different styles - Hip Hugger, Sport, and Thong - which hold varying amounts of liquid. The Hip Hugger and Sport Panties performed well, but the Sport Panty overflowed on the second day of her period. The Thong, designed for lighter days, was comfortable and secure. Safiya found the period panties to be a great supplementary product, but notes that they can be expensive, with prices ranging from $24 to $34 each. She recommends investing in one or two pairs, but not relying solely on them for menstrual management.
