Once upon a time, I thought I was cool. I was spontaneous. I had energy for days. I could survive on three hours of sleep, iced coffee, and bad decisions.

Now? I catch myself saying things like, “Ugh, I’m in my luteal phase” — and I don’t even fully understand the luteal phase. All I know is that my body now sends me a calendar invite every month: Energy Levels: Declining. Mood: Handle with Care.

Here’s the thing — I used to power through menstruation. I was in survival mode, so cramps, bloating, and fatigue were just background noise. But these days? Even though the crippling cramps are mostly behind me, I still feel my energy crash hard during that pre-period window. And when my period finally arrives, I’m still a heavy bleeder.

The one thing I don’t have to stress about anymore? Leaks.

That’s because I discovered Knix. Their leakproof underwear is so comfortable, it’s like your favorite pair of undies but with superhero powers. I can go about my day — even work out — without that constant low-level anxiety of “uh… did I just ruin my leggings?”

And it’s not just underwear — I even have a crosscourt dress from Knix that’s leakproof. I feel like Serena Williams could’ve used this during her Grand Slam days. Honestly, whoever made period-friendly activewear deserves a Nobel Prize in Menstrual Peacekeeping.

If you want to try Knix, they’ve got a huge range of leakproof options — from everyday styles to activewear — and as a Knix ambassador, I can hook you up. You can save 15% on a minimum purchase of $120 when you shop through this link and use promo code AMBIAMSANDYESPRIT at checkout.

Your luteal phase might still be a mood, but at least your underwear can be a win.
