By now, every individual who experiences periods has heard (and maybe even tested out) absorbent underwear which prevents pesky leaks, but do people know the diversity of silhouettes offered in this category—for example, is anyone aware that there is a leakproof thong?
Offered by innovative underwear brand Proof, which is blowing up on TikTok with over 18 million views, the leakproof thong is sure to elevate one's fitness experience. The silhouette pairs well with legging and "keeps you drier longer through any activity" while reducing odor. The product is ideal for light periods, spotting, discharge, and sweat. It also provides an alternative for a panty liner or a tampon as it boasts an invisible leakproof core in the gusset.
