The material of THINX underwear is anti-microbial and stain-resistant, moisture wicking, and can absorb up to six teaspoons of liquid. After doing some research, Agrawal says she found that more than 100 million girls in the developing world were missing a week of school because of their periods, and using things such as leaves, old rags, or plastic bags in the place of sanitary pads. After talking to friend Antonia Dunbar about “doing well and doing good,” the Agrawal sisters and Dunbar started to work on THINX together, with a social mission in mind. Through a partnership with AFRIpads, the purchase of a pair of THINX also funds the production of seven washable pads for girls in Uganda. AFRIpads employs local women, meaning the purchases also create jobs.
