Usually I'm an alto
my period is a baritone
I am on my period
*shriek*
Hello friends, and welcome to another video
This week, we are going to be trying out
the THINX Period Panties
You guys can't see these things because I've hidden them moderately well
but there is a pimple
sprouting above my eyebrow
and the top button of my pants is already undone because I'm on my period
That's right, I started early this morning
I'm not a morning person, but apparently my period is.
The THINX period panties have been out for a little while
And they are advertised basically as just normal underwear that can replace a pad or act as a panty liner on a really heavy day.
They have different pairs of panties, like they have more heavy-duty ones, for your more heavier flow days.. And they also have a thong just for the lighter days.
I have made people try period panties for a video before, but I have never tried period panties myself, and I am very excited to do so, in front of all you wonderful people.
Day one of my period is pretty much over, and as you guys know, I have a seven-day period.
Most of my bleeding happens on days one, two, and three
Four, and five are kind of, like medium, and then six and seven are just like, spurts
I've been a tampon user since I was about sixteen, so I'm really excited to try something new this month and get my claws into these panties.
So I got these three pairs of period panties
A hip hugger, a sport, and a thong
I have really high hopes. I've heard good things.
It's suppose to feel dry and comfortable and you don't have to worry about changing a tampon or changing out a pad.
I'm just really excited to try these guys out and see if Thinx is worth it, lives up to the hype, and if this is a magical period product
that everyone should honestly have
It is very late at night, so I'm about to go to bed
I am going to wear one of these guys to sleep tonight
high stakes, hopefully i don’t ruin the sheets, that would be very sad
time to put my first pair of period panties on!
i’m going to start with the hip hugger; the hip hugger is thirty-four bucks
and it’s suppose to hold about two tampons worth
i’m going to try and put them on one-handed
here’s the hip huggers from the front
here’s the hip huggers from the back
let’s, um, out these guys on
okay, so they feel really soft; they do feel a little bit like swimwear
i got the size medium
you could definitely tell there’s a lining around the crotchal area
it feels a little more secure than i thought it might
they are on!
on the outside they feel a lot like a swimsuit bottom
but they are pretty comfortable on the inside; they do feel mostly like normal underwear
they fit a little tight around my legs openings, but that makes sense ‘cause you wanna like have everything contained
i’m a huge fan of the fact that they have this, kind of like, mesh, at the top
the mesh waistband is super comfortable
it says it holds two tampons worth, so I say, let’s just get into it!
I am not going to put any towel down because I like to live dangerously
also ignore the fact that my sheets are extremely wrinkly
I’m about to turn in for the night and I just felt something drop
here’s to hopin’ I can keep it in my panties
okay, bye
guys, guess what?
there’s nothing on the sheets!
i feel pretty dry, I wouldn’t say I feel a hundred percent desert dry
I’m gonna shower and put on the other pair,
but i’m gonna have to wash these cause I’m gonna have to wear these again later today or tonight
I think my biggest issue is just gonna be I’m gonna have to be doing laundry a lot.
Maybe I should’ve bought more underwear
So I just took off the hip huggers that I slept in and threw them in the laundry.
While those guys are being washed, let’s go for the sport panty.
It’s thirty-two dollars a pair and it hold about one and a half tampons worth
Oh my God, did you see on the front it says ‘real menstruating human’?
Too bad they didn’t know that I am not human, I am dancer
This is the sport panty from the front, and this is the sport panty from the back
this one is the same material as the last one,
it does feel a little less thick, but I can still feel the lining on the inside
So these guys are suppose to hold one and a half tampons worth, so that should last me for a good few hours
So I’m actually doing a photoshoot right now and my period panties are holding up very well
I will say though that I was sitting down
and I was so nervous that the underwear would, like, shift a little
and it would leak out from the sides, but so far, so good
(two hours later)
I may have run into a disaster
um, I think I underestimated my flow
and I haven’t had a chance to go home and my panties have runnith over
I couldn’t really tell that I had filled it up until I went to the bathroom
and realized that the blood had soaked through to the other side
crap
I can’t go home to get the other pair for a couple of hours
They said this one is suppose to be only be one and a half tampons worth
which should be enough for like a few hours for me,
but maybe day two is just too intense
I’m just gonna try and not sit down and hopefully it’ll just be able to hold up until I can go home
I didn’t think to throw the thong, or like the extra panty in my bag
which is my bad, but also like, I’m also sad that this happened
Okay, so I’m finally home
I think the panties do a pretty good job of keeping in the smell,
until you bleed through and then the smell kind of starts percolating.
It was rank
So I washed the sport panties and they are drying on the drying rack
Look at my sport panty, it’s drying
You can barely even tell that I just completely soaked through it
It washes out quite nicely
I also washed a bunch of my yoga pants, win!
We’re going to the mall right now and I put on my hip huggers
‘cause we’re going out for a few hours, so I didn’t wanna risk it with the thong
so right now, i have like, full coverage underwear
and some extra padding around the crotch
and some pants
t doesn’t feel uncomfortable necessarily, it just feels a little bulky,
like i’m wearing a little bit of a butt pad, you know?
Tyler: Yea, you’re smacking your butt
Safiya: I don’t know, ‘cause I can’t really feel it ‘cause there’s so much padding, so i’m just like *makes noise*, whatever
Tyler: smacking your butt
So we went to the mall and we came back and my period panties are very dry and warm
very warm because there’s lots of layers happening
but, besides that they’re pretty comfortable, it’s just a little bulky still
I’m mostly just sitting and editing today
I feel good about just wearing the sport panty today, I think
we should be okay for a little while
and then maybe I’ll throw the thong on at the end of the day
The last pair that I bought was the thong
I was so fascinated by the idea of a thong being a period panty that I thought I had to try it
Got it right here
So the thong is twenty-four dollars and it holds about half of a tampon’s worth
It’s definitely got some coverage in the front, though a true thong in the back
We’re only gonna be out for, like, an hour or two, so hopefully it’ll be fine
The thing that I’m really excited about for the thong is the mesh waistband
I’m here for the mesh waistband, you guys know
I would never put period panty and sexy lingerie in the same room,
so I’m pretty impressed that they were like ‘no, we’re gonna make a thong.’
It’s not not cute
It feels extremely comfortable
Besides the fact that the front is kind of slippery and swimsuity
it feels almost exactly like a normal thong
We’re out, at In-n-Out
I’m wearing my period thong and I feel great, actually,
I can’t say that the river is rushing forth, right now;
it’s actually pretty calm downstairs
Unintended consequence of wearing this thong:
Tyler just screaming the ‘Thong Song’ at every turn
Tyler: Baby! That thong th thong thong thong
I like it when the beat goes!
I love when that booty goooo
What were you saying?
I’ve been walking and sitting today
I wore my sport briefs
Even though the hip hugger is suppose to be the one that hold the most liquid,
I find that the sport panty feels a little bit bulkier
It’s day six, I’m just chilling and editing again and I’m wearing the thong
And I feel very comfortable and very secure
It does have a use; it’s great for like those last couple of days where you’re just like
‘If I didn’t wear anything, something bad might happen, but I just need a little something’
So it’s day seven and I’m wearing my thong under leggings it’s actually quite comfortable
what I did realize is that I haven't exercised at all in these guys,
but just to try it out I will get to yoga tonight, in this thong
So I just got back from yoga
There’s obviously a lot of stretching, a little bit of sweating,
definitely a lot of, like, crotchal movement
I know today’s the last day of my period, so it’s not the best
day to actually see if I would’ve bled through my clothes,
but I thought they were comfortable under my yoga pants
I didn’t feel like I had a wedgie, I didn’t feel like it was too gathered up
The hottest, and the sweatiest I’ve been is when I wore the period panties under jeans,
but under yoga pants, they seem pretty breathable
So, my period is over now and so is my first Thinx period panty period
Overall, as a tampon user, I found the first couple of days
to be kind of off-putting because I’m just not used to the feeling of ’the drop’,
besides the one day i overflowed, it wasn’t too wet;
it wasn’t one hundred percent dry, but it definitely wasn’t wet feeling
My biggest issue with these period panties are how expensive they are
They run at about, like, twenty-five to thirty bucks each, which is pretty steep
and unlike a Diva Cup or something, you don’t need just one
I managed to get through the week with just three, but I was doing laundry, like constantly,
so I think, like, if you’re going to use just period panties, you kind of need, like five or six
So I actually found the thong really great to just throw on for the last couple of days of my period,
just to kind of, like, catch anything left
My least favorite pair were the sport panties
I think now I also have a complex against these because these are the ones that completely overflowed on me
Thinx does say on a heavier day, maybe bring a tampon or a backup
I’ve been using tampons for so long, I kind of know exactly how many tampons I need
but when you switch to a totally new period products, that you don’t know, like, how much blood it holds,
the first couple of uses are kind of, troubleshooting.
Overall, I think the Thinx period panties are a great supplementary
product to whatever period products you’re using
I love the thong and I think I’m gonna continue to use it
and they’re pretty secure and comfortable to sleep in,
so I’m probably going to use the hip huggers to sleep in, as well
I think that investing in one or two these period panties could be really helpful,
I don’t think for me, I’m gonna go out and buy more and make, like, my only period product these panties,
but I do think that they have a place in the battle for Middle Earth
and when I say Middle Earth, I mean my uterus
