Sizing
Thinx runs true to size; Modibodi has no single consistent sizing direction. Both brands size from your hip measurement, so rather than converting one brand's size into the other's, the size finder gives you your size in each directly.
Thinx: Runs true to size. Thinx states styles are "completely true to size" and recommends following the HIP measurement (measured at widest point, derriere included) for the most accurat
Modibodi: Could not verify. No Modibodi-owned source (size guide or support FAQ) states whether sizing runs small, large, or true-to-size. The size guide notes only that measurements "refer
Quick answers
- Is Thinx or Modibodi more absorbent?
- By their own published claims, Thinx reaches a higher maximum capacity (up to 100 mL) than Modibodi (up to 50 mL) at its highest current tier. That does not make every Thinx pair more absorbent than every Modibodi pair - it means the top of Thinx's range is higher. Compare tier by tier in millilitres, not by the label words. And remember these are saline-lab maximums, not leak-free guarantees - the only blood-component study measured far lower real capacity.
- Do Thinx and Modibodi use the same absorbency labels?
- No. Thinx publishes 3 current tiers (100 mL across the range) and Modibodi publishes 3 (20–50 mL). Even where the words overlap, the millilitres differ, which is exactly why this page compares them in millilitres with a data-quality grade on every number.
- How do Thinx and Modibodi sizes compare?
- Thinx runs true to size; Modibodi has no single consistent sizing direction. Both size from your hip measurement, so the size finder gives your size in each brand directly rather than guessing from the other brand's number.
