Let’s Talk About Underwear // Introducing: THINX Underwear

Seriously. No shame here.

I was recently introduced to an incredible company that’s doing so much more than making underpants. Did you know that there are thousands millions of girls in third-world countries who miss days, if not a whole week, of school every month because of their “week of shame” (ladies, you know what I’m talking about)? Girls who can’t afford the sanitary products they need, or even if they could, can’t travel far enough on foot to marketplaces that sell them.

THINX Underwear is here to change that. To keep girls from having to use whatever they can find [sticks, leaves, dirty rags] to protect themselves from leaks, and eliminate that shame. For every pair of THINX underwear you purchase for yourself, seven pairs of washable, reusable pads will be donated by Afripads to a woman in need.

Best part? The underwear they have created for you is leak- and stain-resistant, for your time of the month as well [not to mention, super comfy, sexy, and so far from granny panties!].

This video explains it better than I ever could:

THINX Underwear is giving my readers $5 off their purchase [but all seven pads per pair will still be donated!] with code shellchicd. Go ahead and treat yourself, knowing that you’re doing a part in helping the 67 million girls and women [in Africa alone!] in need. Is this is the most thoughtful lingerie ever, or what?

Change your underwear. Change the world.

Full Disclosure: I was provided a pair of THINX underwear for review. All opinions expressed are my own. I 110% believe in this mission.
