One Giant Leap For Menstruation

Thinx has been around since 2013. They have been on a mission to provide a solution for menstruation that doesn’t involve tampons or pads. You can just wear this special underwear and it will absorb whatever your body can throw at it.

I don’t know why I’ve just started hearing about Thinx recently. But these commercials are killing it. They bring a great sense of humor to a serious problem and you have to admit, it’s ingenious.

In this one, an elderly lady is introduced to the underwear. She talks about what life was like back in the day and what she had to go through before Thinx came along. But she delivers a line that is so honest and matter-of-fact, it has me rolling every time.

“I had to search for a string in my butt crack…” If you realized that was the line I’m talking about, you got it right. I just comes from out of the blue. But it’s so true.

It would have been nice if someone would have cared more about women’s needs while we were trying to race to the moon. That part of the joke isn’t missed on me.

Now, this next commercial is why I specifically said that Thinx, “will absorb whatever your body can throw at it.” It’s not just about menstruation. It’s about anything that can happen down there.

Whether it’s an unexpected shart, a prairie dog situation, or full blown diarrhea, Thinx has got your back. Or rather, Thinx has your butt.

I’ve heard women talk about peeing themselves when they laugh. But I’ve never heard of anyone having a poop problem. Well, now I know that exists and Thinx is your answer.

These commercials are the best. They acknowledge the problem and show you the solution by letting you know there are women out there who can relate. And I’m glad that women now have an option where they no longer have to look for a string in their butt crack.
