What is moisture-wicking underwear?

Picking underwear might seem like a straightforward choice for your teen, serving its purpose as a concealed layer beneath their regular pants. However, you should know that there are more options available than just standard underwear. A fascinating alternative worth exploring is moisture-wicking underwear, which offers several additional benefits that may pique their interest.

Moisture-wicking underwear, also known as period underwear, is designed with special fabrics that have the ability to absorb moisture, including sweat, discharge, period blood, and urine. These fabrics draw the moisture away from the body, keeping the wearer feeling dry and comfortable throughout the day.

It's essential to understand that moisture-wicking underwear like Kt by Knix Period Underwear is not solely restricted to managing period blood. In fact, its versatility makes it a valuable choice for various situations. Whether your teen engages in sweaty workouts, plays sports, endures the scorching heat of summer, experiences bladder leaks, or simply seeks comfortable everyday underwear, moisture-wicking underwear can be a suitable option for both menstruating and non-menstruating individuals alike. Its ability to keep them dry and cool makes it a practical and comfortable choice in a wide range of scenarios.

 

How does Kt's moisture-wicking fabric work?

So, how do period panties work? Kt's period panties, AKA moisture-wicking underwear, have three layers to them. Let's go over each layer and its moisture-wicking properties:

The first layer uses our moisture and sweat-wicking technology to keep sweat and moisture away from your skin. It also neutralizes odour, so you can rest assured there will be no smell coming from your teen's underwear. The second layer is a thin, highly-absorbent liner that holds liquid. Finally, the third layer prevents leaks through its liquid-resident properties.

Put them all together and you've got a lightweight fabric that looks like regular underwear material but helps keep your child comfortable and protected. Pretty cool, right?
