Everything at Knix Is 20 Percent Off, Just for Strategist Readers
Knix, the brand behind some of our favorite underwear for periods and working out, is currently offering Strategist readers 20 percent off sitewide with the code STRAT20 through Saturday, September 19. That means discounts on expert-recommended undergarments for hiding sweat and preventing thigh chafing, plus a bunch of bras, swimsuits, and figure-flattering apparel for women and men, all of which are designed to wick away moisture in its various forms, plus lift, sculpt, and hug curves. There’s no minimum purchase required and no sale-exempt products, and the discount even works on top of existing on-sale prices and mix-and-match bundled discounts on underwear (15 percent off three or more pairs, and 20 percent off five or more), bras (10 percent off when you buy two or more), and more, so now’s a great time to stock up.
To ensure you’re never without a sale to shop, make sure to sign up for the Strategist Deal Freaks Daily newsletter to receive each day’s best deals in your inbox (as well as sales just for newsletter subscribers).

Former Strategist deals writer Cassie Hurwitz owns several styles of Knix’s leakproof period underwear but prefers the high-rise and the bikini. The bikini is also one of writer Brenley Goertzen’s favorite pairs to wear while working out because it’s designed to trap moisture and fight odors, be it from menstruation or just straight-up sweat.

Knix’s French cut, which has a higher waistband than the standard bikini, is a favorite of writer Arielle Avila. The moderate version is designed to absorb roughly the same amount as 2.5 tampons, and there are four other varieties (light, heavy, ultra, and the zero-absorption essential) depending on your flow needs. For light-flow days, Avila also relies on the thong. Both pairs are made from buttery-smooth fabric that looks invisible under clothes and feels moisture-wicking on the body.

These (frankly adorable) boxers are available only in heavy-flow absorbency (designed to hold anywhere from seven to nine super-tampons’ worth of blood), making them perfect for overnight wear. There are five colors and patterns to choose from.

These seamless, silky-feeling, extra-thin shorts are ideal for their intended purpose of preventing inner-thigh chafe. Bonus: For the hyperhidrotic among us, the moisture-wicking properties of these shorts also make them a perfect base layer to catch inner-thigh sweat. They come in both zero- and light-absorption varieties.
Bras

For a shape-enhancing bra without the wire, try this one. It has lightly padded and molded cups, plus strategically placed mesh panels along the front, sides, and back that help prevent spillage and any errant bulging.

“I can wear either of these [bras] for a long day of running around and still don’t feel like I need to immediately unhook them when I get home,” Hurwitz says. “They feel like bralettes with a little extra support (and a better fit, thanks to wider sizing options).” They’re also made from the same soft, stretchy material as the brand’s underwear, so they feel light and smooth on the skin.
Activewear and swim

These leggings aren’t period-safe (at least not without a pair of Knix undies), but they are smoothing and sculpting and made with lay-flat seams and soft, stretchy fabric for a totally sleek look. Knix’s CloudCut line also includes joggers, a hoodie, and a zip-up bomber jacket.

This sports bra has zero padding, so it’s lightweight and bulk-free. The straps are also adjustable.

Since you can’t always politely excuse your way out of a beach or pool excursion on a particularly high-cramp day, it’s always helpful to have a Knix swimsuit in your arsenal. I’m a big fan of the cami-style classic one-piece, while Hurwitz relies on the high-rise bikini bottoms for a vintage look that still provides good coverage. Both leakproof options above are light absorbency (one to three super-tampons’ worth), but are also available in zero-absorption versions.
Apparel

Knix’s Supima cotton SculptRib fabric doesn’t offer leak protection, but it does smooth, contour, and provide lightweight support. You can find it in Knix’s tees and tops — including this minimalist tank bodysuit that can be worn on its own or as a base layer — as well as curve-hugging skirts and dresses.

Just a relaxed-fit, garment-dyed tee made of 100 percent cotton and perfectly cropped to wear with the high-waisted bottoms of your choosing.

They’re not leakproof, but these high-rise modal bike shorts look comfy enough to wear even on the crampiest of days, especially in this particularly soothing pale-lavender color.

As soft and comfy as the shorts above, but with a slim-rib texture, a fold-over (a.k.a. forgiving) waistband, and a casual flared leg. These also aren’t leakproof, but they are perfect for trips to the coffee shop or the couch.

Periods are no fun at any age, but when you’re a tween or teen, they can be particularly complicated. Knix truly comes to the rescue here with periodproof styles for everything from sleepovers and swim meets to the tennis court and the dance floor. Plus it’s all really cute.
Men’s
Because even the non-menstruating among us could use some extra absorbency from time to time, Knix makes men’s undies with varying levels of moisture reduction. There’s the Best Damn and ActivTemp styles for light absorption, the Buffer for medium, and the EveryDry for heavy, all of which are also anti-odor and resist sagging and riding up. The socks and tees also promise to keep wearers dry and stink-free.
