INTIMATE WEAR
1 . Thinx makes underwear designed to absorb period blood . And they not only empower women who menstruate , they also sends funds from every pair sold to a partner organisation , AFRIpads ( which trains women in Uganda to sew and sell washable , reusable cloth pads that African girls can buy for an affordable price , allowing them to attend school when they ’ re having their periods ). Thinx ’ s designs are comfortable , attractive and range from sizes XS to 3XL ( which translates to AU6 to AU20 ), with size ranges expanding as we speak . Anything that aims to take the archaic stigma out of menstruation is winner in my book !

Founder Hayat Rachi says , “ I created Neon Moon in 2014 on the back of my frustration towards the lingerie industry ’ s body-shaming of women . I couldn ’ t understand why there was so much pressure applied for women to look a certain way , and to buy lingerie in order to be an object of the male gaze . So instead of buying from brands I couldn ’ t affiliate with , I created Neon Moon .” As a start-up , Neon Moon ’ s sizing still has a lot of room to grow , but they are actively committed to expansion and take custom size requests . They ’ ve also replaced numer-
