WE STARTED WITH A PANTY LINER.
The form factor was right. But boy, the variables were all wrong.
When I first dove into the Skimpies invention I threw a panty liner in to go for a jog. On mile two the panty liner was balled up and inside my rear. I had to fix this.
We toyed with the adhesive. We workshopped the lay-in. We dissected all the layers, the shape, the width. And we spent a whole lot of time on the materials.
My butt wants no lines, but my hoo-ha needs breathable organic cotton. Panty-liners were not going to work.
"Why did it take this long?"
"I don't need to pack undies in my gyum bag. I just change my Skimpie."
"Brilliant."
"I haven't gotten a UTI in months!"
"Can I give more than five stars?"
"So simple. But genius!"
"Changed my workouts."
