For that reason, I tend to avoid swimming when I\u2019m on my period. However, I was recently introduced to a chic solution: period swimwear. Like period underwear, period swimwear provides the material infrastructure needed to absorb and protect, all while looking chic and pool day-ready.<\/p>\n<p>When I learned Knix, one of the best-selling and most popular period underwear brands, makes <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fknix.com%2Fcollections%2Fperiod-swimwear%3Floc%3DMain-SwimNav-Categories%26amp%3Bnav%3DPeriodSwimwear&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fknix-leakproof-swimsuit-review%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/knix.com\/collections\/period-swimwear?loc=Main-SwimNav-Categories&amp;nav=PeriodSwimwear\">a few styles of period-proof swimsuits<\/a>, I had to get my hands on one. Knix makes its period bathing suits in three different designs: a basic one piece, a one piece with a side tie, and a basic two-piece suit. I tested the <a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fknix.com%2Fproducts%2Fleakproof-side-tie-one-piece-swimsuit&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fknix-leakproof-swimsuit-review%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/knix.com\/products\/leakproof-side-tie-one-piece-swimsuit\">Knix Leakproof Side <\/a>($100).<\/p>\n<p>The first time I tested it, I was menstruating, and I wore a tampon\u2014just to be safe. However, toward the end of my cycle (as my flow became lighter), I wore it without any reinforcements.<\/p>\n<h2>My honest review of the Knix Leakproof Side-Tie One Piece Swimsuit<\/h2>\n<h3>The fit<\/h3>\n<p><em>Snatched<\/em>. That\u2019s how I feel in the Knix one-piece leakproof bathing suit. I can\u2019t lie: The first time I ever tried to put it on, it was a struggle. I\u2019m five feet tall and about 135 pounds, so I got a size small-plus. Firstly, I\u2019d like to note that this is the first brand I\u2019ve seen who offers in-between sizes. Last year I weighed about 150 pounds, so those \u201cschmediums\u201d (the size between small and medium) really come through for me.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1096863\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1096863\" style=\"width: 384px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1096863 js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"knix swimsuit\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/natalie-knix-swimsuit_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1096863\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p>While this bathing suit helped sculpt my shape into an hourglass figure, it didn\u2019t do so without\u00a0<em>a lot<\/em>\u00a0of compression on my tummy and ribcage. Truth be told, it was a tad constricting\u2014especially when it came to taking deep breaths. For that reason, I\u2019d suggest getting a size up. When I swam in it, however, it turns out that the same compression made it easier for me to tread through the pool water. Not to mention, it also kept keep my breasts secure and supported.<\/p>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1096865\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1096865\" style=\"width: 384px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1096865 size-full js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"knix swimsuit\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/natalie-knix-swimsuit-2_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1096865\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo: Author<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h3>The function<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s designed to prevent menstruation leaks from making an appearance on the inside\u2014or back of or front of\u2014your thigh.

When I wore this during the second-to-last day I was on my period, I did notice that I worried less about whether I\u2019d have that dreaded red streak creeping down my leg. I could feel myself, <em>erm<\/em>, leaking, but I could also feel the Knix one-piece absorbing my uterine walls\u2014which effectively prevented any menstrual leaks. I don\u2019t, however, think would handle a super heavy flow. It&#8217;s designed to be able to effectively absorb three teaspoons of blood, but any more than that (more than about three full tampons), you may experience leakage.<\/p>\n<h3>The material<\/h3>\n<p>So how <em>does<\/em> this swimsuit absorb menstrual blood? It features a period-proof gusset made with proprietary FreshFix Technology\u00ae fabric (the same material as<a href=\"https:\/\/clicks.trx-hub.com\/xid\/leafgroup_ca5e0_wellgood?q=https%3A%2F%2Fknix.com%2Fcategory%2Fall-underwear%23the-french-cut-collection&amp;p=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.wellandgood.com%2Fknix-leakproof-swimsuit-review%2F&amp;event_type=click\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener sponsored\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/knix.com\/category\/all-underwear#the-french-cut-collection\"> Knix&#8217;s period underwear<\/a>). The gusset is a bit thicker than what a normal swimsuit feels like, although it&#8217;s not distracting (it doesn&#8217;t feel like a pad or anything\u2014nor does it look it).<\/p>\n<h2>Final thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>I hardly spend $100 on anything\u2014but I would spend my own hard-earned cash on this swimsuit. It\u2019s as effective as it is form-fitting, and, as I mentioned before, the brand is wildly size inclusive, carrying up to a XXXXL+. That <em>really<\/em>\u00a0makes it stand out from the pack.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, as someone who doesn\u2019t track her period, the Knix leakproof one-piece\u00a0<em>actually<\/em> puts my mind at ease. For instance, if I\u2019m somewhere and unexpectedly get my period, I can rest assured that I won\u2019t live out my teenage nightmare (aka, the surprise of a period starting when I&#8217;m near-naked in a pool or at the beach). And that peace of mind is worth $100 to me.<\/p>\n<div class=\"disclaimers__after_content mb-[18px] mt-[16px] pt-[16px]\">\n<div class=\"outline-earmark relative mt-[8px] pt-[10px] pl-[20px]\">\n<p>\n            Our editors independently select these products.
