CORE:TX™ 3.0
Our thinnest gusset designed to provide comfortable support for your daily needs. Wear it as your regular underwear, enhanced with a built-in absorbent leakproof liner. Most suitable for lighter days.

CORE:TX™ 5.0
Composed of multiple thin and lightweight absorbent layers. It provides medium absorption and all-day comfort with protection for moderate flows.

CORE:TX™ 9.0
The best teammate when you're working up a sweat. Created with multi-layer high-absorption fibres to match your peak performance while offering uncompromised comfort and protection, no matter what activity you're doing.

The CORE:TX™ 3.0 underwear gusset works in two layers. The 3.0 gusset has a moisture-wicking layer to keep you dry and a waterproof layer to prevent leakage. We recommend CORE:TX™ 3.0 for your lighter days or everyday wear.

The CORE:TX™ 5.0 and 9.0 underwear gussets work in three layers. The gussets have a moisture-wicking layer to keep you dry, a water-absorbent layer to hold fluids securely, and a waterproof layer to prevent leakage. We recommend CORE:TX™ 5.0 for medium flows and CORE:TX™ 9.0 for heavier flows.

CORE:TX™ 3.0 - Up to 1 tampon or pad

CORE:TX™ 5.0 - Up to 3-5 tampons or pads

CORE:TX™ 9.0 - Up to 5-7 tampons or pads

Each flow is different. When you are trying out our CORE:TX™ underwear for the first time, we recommend checking your underwear throughout the day to understand the CORE:TX™ absorbency level and your flow. On heavier days, we recommend changing your underwear at least twice a day, once during the day and once at night.

It feels like wearing your regular underwear. Our CORE:TX™ gussets were designed for maximum comfort while keeping you protected throughout the day and night.

Our CORE:TX™ underwear was designed to be worn without needing any additional protection, as long as you find the perfect absorbency level that matches your flow throughout your cycle.

For those who prefer menstrual pads for your added protection, our CORE:TX™ 5.0 and 9.0 underwear feature a partially detached gusset to accommodate the wings of menstrual pads so they securely and discreetly stay in place.

We recommend rinsing your underwear after each use until the water runs clear. Place it in a wash bag and machine wash cold, or alternatively, hand wash if you prefer.

Do not tumble dry, bleach, or iron.

All CORE:TX™ underwear and activewear should be hang dry to preserve its quality.

Our CORE:TX™ 3.0 leggings and shorts have a built-in 3.0 gusset for reliable protection during your workout or training sessions on lighter days. They can be worn on their own, or with additional protection of your choice.
