To keep people moving all month long, Adidas now sells 'Techfit Period Proof' tights and short tights, which feature a built-in three-layer pad that absorbs period leaks. The German sportswear brand advises wearing them with a tampon, pad or cup, since they're not a substitute product.
Adidas isn't the first to develop period-proof activewear — Thinx and Modibodi led the way — but when the world's second-largest sportswear brand joins in, reach and impact grow with leaps and bounds. The message is clear: by providing people with a practical solution to period leaks, they can get out and stay active while menstruating. Or as Adidas puts it, Stay in Play.
