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
The Period Company: Runs true to size. Product pages state verbatim: "This style runs true to size. Order your most standard size."
Quick answers
- Is Thinx or The Period Company more absorbent?
- By their own published claims, Thinx reaches a higher maximum capacity (up to 100 mL) than The Period Company (up to 45 mL) at its highest current tier. That does not make every Thinx pair more absorbent than every The Period Company 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 The Period Company use the same absorbency labels?
- No. Thinx publishes 3 current tiers (100 mL across the range) and The Period Company publishes 3 (10–45 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 The Period Company sizes compare?
- Thinx runs true to size; The Period Company runs true to size. 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.
