Praise for The Vagina Book: An Owner's Manual for Taking Care of Your Down There

"Thinx rules. I love this brand. They transform the uncomfortable into the comfortable in both their product line and in the collective conversation. So often, we shy away from solution building because the problem itself makes people blush. Thinx says F that. They are normalizing the normal and I'm all in." - Kristen Bell, star of NBC's The Good Place

"This book is essential for all people. People with periods and people who know people who get periods. It's rare to find trustworthy resources that actually reflect the full reality of the world we live in. Thinx has delivered a valuable tool for education and conversation about periods, sexual literacy, and much more. I can't recommend this book enough!" - Sally Kohn, author of The Opposite of Hate: A Field Guide to Repairing Our Humanity
