Adidas carried out two years of product development for this new launch. The brand said it found teenage girls are dropping out of sport at an alarming rate, with one of the key reasons being fear of period leakage. Using these insights, the brand set out to create a product that helps athletes stay in sport throughout their cycle by giving them an added layer of protection. The collection has been launched in select Adidas stores across the country as well as online.
