What came before the Big Bang? What’s inside a black hole? Is time travel possible? How does Knix’s new Super Leakproof Underwear actually work? — these are some of the universe’s biggest questions. And while most of these remain a mystery, one of these questions is super simple to answer.
With some innovation and a little technology, Leakproof Underwear aren’t as big of a mystery as you might think. Let’s break down how they work, what makes them super, and why you’ll be ditching your tampons and pads by your next cycle.
Then: The Same Old Solutions
For decades, the same old period products have cluttered our bathrooms, bags and office drawers. With tampons entering the menstruation market in the 1940’s, and adhesive pads sticking to the scene since the late 1960’s, innovation in the period department has pretty much stopped. Besides silicone menstrual cups gaining popularity in the 2000’s, there are so few options considering half the world menstruates.
Now: Innovative New Options
In 2013, Knix was born from one single, messy truth: that people leak. Whether it was due to postpartum incontinence or menstruation, Knix knew there was something missing from the intimates industry: Leakproof Underwear. Since then, Knix has designed an entire range of body safe, sustainable absorbent undies— protecting on the lightest days to the heaviest nights.
Why is Super Leakproof Super?
Knix’s Super Leakproof Underwear are capable of absorbing period blood, sweat, bladder leaks, you name it.
Available in all the classic Knix silhouettes you know and love— Bikini, Boyshort, Cheeky, High Rise and Thong available in sizes S-XXXXL, there’s a pair of Super Leakproof undies for everyone. They're even available in our Dream Short with an extra long absorbent area for overnight protection.
So, How Does Period Underwear Work?
The secret to the absorbency is all in the layers. To read about how our classic Knix Leakproof works, check out our blog here for all the insider info from our design team. But we know why you’re here. You’re here to find out how the heck does one pair of Super Leakproof Underwear absorb so much liquid?
The Secret is in the Layers
They must be bulky, you’re thinking. And while that might be the case for other period underwear brands, all of Knix’s Leakproof Undies (including the Dream Short and Super Leakproof) feel like regular underwear and are incredibly lightweight.
The layers of technical materials work hard so you don’t have to.
Our Super Leakproof Underwear features triple layer technology that ensures you stay fresh, dry, and protected.
Why Should I Switch to Period Underwear?
Most of us have spent years with the same period routine. Between stocking up on tampons and making sure you always have extra pads lying around for emergencies, it’s time to reduce, reuse, and rethink your cycle.
Switching to period underwear during your cycle is an easy way to cut out single-use menstrual plastics like tampon applicators, pads, wrappers and other packaging.
