Oh I must of missed that..

I'm not surprised. Essity (the company that bought Knix) recently purchased OB Tampons, Platex and Carefree. Essity is dipping its toe into the traditional realm of feminine care as period panties are being deemed unsafe and WAY less absorbent than they claimed to be*.

*On the Essity website under feminine care, five types of products are listed before "leakproof apparel" .... "We offer a broad portfolio of pads, panty liners, tampons, intimate soaps and wipes...." It seems leakproof apparel isn't a priority for Essity anymore.

I wonder if Joanna Griffiths quit or was asked to leave Knix/Essity?

Something is up.

The New Jersey Health Department issued a warning about period panties, and more studies from multiple universities, including Harvard, are showing the dangers of PFAS (skin absorbability).

I wonder if Joanna is trying to slip away before an entire generation realizes she knowingly poisoned them.

It's amazing how many false claims Joanna Griffiths made about Knix being 100% PFAS-free. Sure, Joanna, just like your claims of "No photoshop or editing"... From class action lawsuits that Joanna Griffiths lost (regarding PFAS in Knix) to over 50 retouching files from Knix "no photoshop campaigns" being exposed, we know Joanna is a BIG FAT LIAR.

One interesting lie Joanna Griffiths made to cover up her "PFAS-free" lie was that "Knix contained only short-chain PFAS, which aren't dangerous." That's cute, Joanna. In 2024, the University of Birmingham released a massive study concluding that compounds like PFBS and PFPeA (short-chain) can penetrate skin at substantially higher absorption fractions than legacy long-chain chemicals like PFOA. In other words, short-chain PFAS absorb into our bodies within hours of wearing a garment. It was also noted that types of skin (thinner skin) are more permeable.

I guess Joanna is like Sarah and doesn't read the news.

I find it amusing that the University of Toronto is the school that discovered how period panties are the least absorbent and their absorbancy claims are wildly exaggerated. Of course, the NYTimes, Scientific American, and various USA-based and UK publications wrote about this. The Canadian media didn't touch it. Wouldn't want to upset the precious Joanna. She has more millions to make. More women to make sick or kill.

The joke of it all is that Joanna claimed Knix were more environmentally friendly, meanwhile anyone who uses them contaminates our water supply (thanks!).

Joanna claimed Knix are more affordable. With women needing 10-15 pairs, this is another lie.

I read about women asking for advice on cleaning their Knix. I've seen photos of them soaking in buckets, taking up the laundry room. Women on their knees scrubbing their period panties. Joanna's adverts and campaigns made these women think period panties are more moral, or that by wearing Knix you are a feminist.

Really? I do question those who bought into this. Have we lost our ability to think critically, or are we that naive?

Period panties aren't new. The same product was made in the 1910's and 20s. They were replaced by pads and tampons in the 1930's. Why? Because pads and tampons worked better and gave women more freedom. Joanna set women back. She remarketed an outdated product. She put us back on the "rag".

I guarantee girls are playing fewer sports because they are afraid of their leaking panties.

Last note: Since the USA cracked down on PFAS levels allowed in garments, many women are complaining about their period panties leaking or not working as well. Coincidence?

& why did Joanna Griffiths shutter all the California Knix stores? California is not poor. Their GDP is the 4th biggest in the world. Could it be that Governor Gavin Newsom's new PFAS restrictions would exclude Knix?

We will never know because Joanna Griffiths, like Sarah Nicole Landry, is a woman who supports women (lol); she is untouchable.

Good luck to the women out there who wear Knix.

*From the National Institute of Health NIH "Emerging research indicates that chronic exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can induce resistance to common chemotherapy drugs (like carboplatin, doxorubicin, and oxaliplatin) in cancers such as ovarian, colorectal, and pancreatic. PFAS chemicals achieve this by altering mitochondrial function, disrupting normal cell cycles, and reducing the effectiveness of treatments."

Joanna said, "It's no big deal; they (PFAS) are everywhere." YES, because of tools like you, lady. And not all PFAS are rubbing up against our thin-skinned privates for hours, days and weeks.
