Despite discomfort, exercising during one's period has excellent health benefits, and can reduce the severity of flow in the future. Even though a massive portion of the population experiences menstruation on an on-going basis, there are very few [activewear choices tailored specifically](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-collections) to those monthly needs. Thinx aims to change that, with a line that's functional and stylish. The brand utilized its [period-absorbing technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menstrual-care-solutions) when making these pieces, offering workout-specific clothes that are able to absorb the equivalent of two to five regular tampons worth of liquid. The line includes one-piece leotards, leggings, and [bike shorts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/activewear-essentials), highlighting the unique needs of each athlete while prioritizing comfort.
