The adidas Period Proof Tights will make workouts a lot more pleasant

1. The TechFit Period Proof tights come with adidas’ new Flow Shield technology to prevent leaks

1/5

According to research by scientists at St. Mary's University, Twickenham in the UK, one in four girls around the world quit sports in their teens. Research by adidas found that leaking was the number one concern of menstruators who do sports. With that in mind, adidas has set out to create the TechFit Period Proof tights that athletes can rely on.

Kim Buerger, Senior Product Manager for Women’s Apparel at adidas, said: “We started designing this collection from the inside, out. We knew it had to be comfortable and breathable, but most importantly, it had to serve its purpose of helping to protect against leakage."

In the TechFit Period Proof tights, the main fabric around the gusset is reinforced with adidas' Flow Shield technology, a highly absorbent pad at the crotch area that consists of multiple layers — a wicking layer, an absorbing layer, and a leak-proof layer — that work together to guard against leakage.



This discreet protection system gives you added confidence when worn with a tampon or pad.*

2. The TechFit Period Proof tights feature a bonding frame to keep everything in place

Reinforcing adidas’ Flow Shield technology is a sleek in-built brief that uses a bonding system to hold the different layers together and keep the tights firmly in place when you're in motion.

With this bonding frame, there's no need to worry about your activewear, underwear or pad shifting as you bend and flex. No unnecessary adjustments required, since everything is where it should be.

3. The TechFit Period Proof tights feel like a second skin

Besides guarding against leakage, the TechFit Period Proof tights are also designed with maximum comfort in mind. They are made from an ultra-soft and highly flexible material that feels like a second skin, so you'll feel at total ease and be able to focus on your workout without distractions.

4. The TechFit Period Proof tights are breathable and quick-drying

The Aeroready fabric used in the TechFit Period Proof tights is not only ultra-soft, but also breathable and quick-drying, to help you stay cool and dry during your workout, whether you're indoors or out in the raging heat and humidity. We're pretty sure that this will go a long way to improve your mood and performance.

Good to know: As part of adidas' efforts to end plastic waste, the TechFit Period Proof tights use PRIMEGREEN, a series of high-performance recycled materials.

5. The TechFit Period Proof tights have been rigorously tested

5/5

The TechFit Period Proof tights were created after two years of development and rigorous testing carried out at each stage of the journey, so you can be sure that they are up to mark.

Kim Buerger, Senior Product Manager for Women’s Apparel at adidas, said: "The biggest challenge we faced in bringing the TechFit Period Proof tights to market was the testing. It was incredibly rigorous and went through several rounds, because we had to be sure our product could deliver. Our ambition with this product is to keep more people in sport by giving them the confidence to train on their period."



With the TechFit Period Proof tights, working out during your period is looking to be a lot more pleasant and less dreadful. With that confidence and peace of mind, you'll be able to Stay in Play, and continue being your true self no matter what activities you undertake.
