Me Thinx I have a Solution

Last week I talked about tampons (post here), so I thought this week why not talk about period proof underwear. Recently I came across another blogger's review of Thinx, Period-Proof underwear that protects you from leaks and keeps you feeling dry. 

How do they work? Moisture-wicking keeps you feeling dry even when you’ve had a spill. The Anti-Microbial finish fights bacteria with an invisible silver treatment. The hip hugger style holds up to two tampons’ worth of liquid, and they claim that "even your whitest pants are safe". 

Sound Gross?

"Well, every pair of THINX has a top layer that wicks all liquid into the über thin absorption layer right beneath it, so that you feel super dry. This way, you can wear 'em all day long (i.e., no, you don't have to change them during the day, no, they don't feel like diapers, and no, it's not like sitting in your own blood). Boom."

I'm not interested in fully replacing the tampon, but the appealing thing about these underwear is the extra protection they can provide at night. Not to over share, but I've ruined 2 sets of white sheets in the last year due to leaks....good, expensive sheets. And I'm going to do everything I can to prevent it from happening again. 

I'm hoping Thinx underwear are my solution! 

Lola

There are many products that we use everyday (or every month in this case) that are not pretty. They are not chic, but they are functional. Today's post is 100% about functionality. Today's post is about tampons. Exciting, right? 

I was recently introduced to Lola. A company that is taking a modern approach to feminine care.  

Lola tampons are 100% biodegradable, made with cotton sourced from Europe and a BPA free compact plastic application, utilized for comfort. “We realized if we want to get into the tampon industry, we’re going to have to brand our own products where we are 100% straightforward with women about what is in it and make it a natural ingredient,” says Friedman.

Since today's world is all about convenience, Lola makes it easy to avoid your monthly trip to the grocery store to buy tampons. They deliver exactly what you need when you need it. And not to worry, commitment phobes—you can pause, adjust, or cancel your subscription anytime.

Unlike the major tampon brands that don't disclose their ingredients, Lola tells you absolutely everything. No BS, no mystery fibers, no more doubts about what's going in your body.

Since I care so much about everything that I put on or in my body...food, cosmetics, etc. Lola is the perfect product for me. I took advantage of their "first time buyer" offer and got two boxes for $9. Unfortunately my shipment arrived just after "Aunt Flo's" departure, so I will have to wait for next months visit to give you my verdict. I'm pretty sure I'll be saying adios to Tampax.
