Toxic in More Ways than One (Thinx)

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a semiweekly series where bad businesses go to die. We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. If you are a person who needs to use menstrual products in your day-to-day life it is likely that you have run into the same frustrations over and over again. Certain products can literally kill you if you keep them in too long, others are a mess, and all of them seem to be important. But, when Thinx came along we thought we had the answer to our period woes. Unfortunately, after news about dangerous chemicals and a toxic workplace, it seems like we’re back where we started. Why can’t we get a menstrual product that doesn’t harm us?
