At the end of the day, the service they offer to women in need and the product itself is amazing— as a backup or no. Seems trifling to whine about it. Dear BB — I have no pony in this race but I am betting you do. Why else support abusing hard working people who supported this company and say they should just suck it up when they have been lied and cheated. There are other great companies that help women live their best lives during menstruation and because I believe in morals and ethics I will instead support them rather than Thinx.
What would your other options be?? Was just about to buy some Thinx and was hoping you had another suggestion. This was another link I found from following a link in this article, I think you might find it helpful too, and it has links to the products. I have tried Thinx and they are pricey but I loved the peace of mind they provided as a back up. I agree with others that a referral program that needed to be changed is not a reason to dismiss a company. Unfortunately, I also tried Panty Props and have realized that they are cheaper but at a steep price!
They fit terribly and their customer service is down right insulting!
I will gladly pay the higher price for the quality of a pair of Thinx. I had decided not to do business with them because of their political views. No system is perfect but everyone, just buy this stuff on eBay. Most of it is new, never worn, and is sold because they got too many or the wrong size. I agree and I will never buy from them because of the horrible political email they sent out on Veterans Day.
Business and politics should not go together, it was very unprofessional and upsetting.
Cuz you pretty much spent nothing and they lost several products. Can they sue for breach of contract? I too was about to buy for me and my bestie but will hold off until they make this right with the bloggers that promoted them. Or in the US? Tampons cost a fortune, and very few homeless orgs give them away.
Why would I do such foolish thing? I use pads and top with a tight underwear, over the underwear that I have my pads on, and the tight one on top holds everything in place. It works fine. Leaks happen because 1 low-quality pads 2 taking too long to change to a new one and 3 underwear and pad is too loose. It all needs to be held in place tight. So buy some Tomy Hillfiger boy shorts that are tight, put that over your padded-underwear, and off you go. They sell tampons that are natural and unbleached but I let go of tampons long ago.
Thank you for writing this and sharing your fellow bloggers story. At the end of the day Thinx is the one in business and the onus is on them to have acknowledged their error in judgement and to fix it.
Unfortunately, it looks like they instead put more marketing energy into sending some lames over here to talk bad about you for telling the truth about them! Sending people over here to call the author trifling — petty. Good luck to them in the evolution of their business and business practices. And I hope they at some point rectify this situation. Very informative article.
I felt the article was thorough and neutral as well and appreciated the information shared. I was literally about to purchase 5pairs in excitment that I wouldnt have to buy pads anymore. Before purchasing I searched for a coupon code because I thought it was a little too expensive, and came across this article. Although I do like the idea that they give you 60days money back guarantee if you dont like them.
I guess they have to do something to convince us to purchase after such a significant horrific backfire in marketing. I had looked into Lunapads years ago but was always on the fence and never purchased due to fear if the cost would be worth it, but they seem more trustworthy in comparison be it that we havent heard any dirt on them. Seems like they just want to help sisters out. I was going to purchase 7 pairs and also searched for a coupon code and came across this article.
It is unacceptable to just run and hide, and not say a damn word when the only reason people were promoting their products was because of the incentive. They could have set a monetary limit or said that it was not open to bloggers, but how dare people say that bloggers were trying to take advantage. When you advertise something you had no idea how many people will ACTUALLY purchase the product, so to say that these bloggers knew they would amass several thousands in credits is absurd. They must have changed their practice. The refund amount to use for a new product then deducted the cost of return shipping for the label they sent.
That meant I would have to add money to get the correct size. Not truly risk free like they advertised. Thanks for the article. I was also looking for promo codes for Thinx when I came across your post. Will look at other available options. Your article is very neutral. I was sort of curious about the product itself, but the price is just totally unreasonable.
Glad I read this before making an actual purchase. I am not buying a dang thing from them. Thanks for the great read. Bloggers manipulate the public with dishonest blogs just to make profits. This article just confirmed my thoughts on bloggers. You made this decision halfway into a relationship with the growing brand too. I think the most telling part of this write up was you mentioned you expect to make a living off your blog instead of it being a hobby. Loved reading everyones comments and good discussion. I think the company should have been more honest and apologetic about their referral not working for the bloggers who rang up tons, but dont fault their needing to revert.
They just should have done so more responsibly.
I do love my Thinx tho.. Ive never once had an issue!
Even once worn for 24 hours ugh birthday drunk, sorry. Im glad this article was shared, and I hope they step up their game. In the end, I also need a product that truly works for me.
Luna pads dont as they again, slip, move, make me feel insecure. Im actually so scared this negative thinking could hurt Thinx I want to go buy a few more now to make sure I have them in case they go under! Sorry for your bad experience ladies. But, I need what works for me. Its been so hard to find a product for this that I am actually happy with. And I dont really feel bad for the bloggers making panty bank either lol.
Just more upset with Thinx way of handling things. I will, however write them that this does affect how I feel about them and it would be nice to see them clean up their practices. Maybe they wont care, but I always try to be upfront and let a company know if Im unhappy with something.
And no, I dont work for them. Just trying to share another perspective.

Alas, it is the era of Yelp and the frustration of CEOs everywhere. Error in free handouts B. Unsatisfactory response to your complaint. You could have posted this in addition to your critique of Thinx blogger referral program. You lightly touched on your actual experience with the product, which seemed to have worked well for you. While it is evident you feel cheated as a blogger and righteous in your condemnation of Thinx, please remember what you are reviewing.
