Know Your Flow Quiz

Thinx is a women's health company known for its period underwear. Users were widely interested in the product, but research uncovered a key barrier to conversion: they didn’t know which Thinx styles best suited their needs, or how the product would work for their lifestyle. We addressed these uncertainties with a quiz that delivered tailored product guidance and drove a 40%+ lift in conversions.

Understanding our users & prospects

Our UX researcher interviewed high-intent prospects to uncover confusion around how Thinx fit into existing period routines. I partnered with the UX lead to translate those insights into high-fidelity quiz flows that helped users find the right products for their needs.

Understanding our users & prospects

Our UX researcher interviewed high-intent prospects to uncover confusion around how Thinx fit into existing period routines. I partnered with the UX lead to translate those insights into high-fidelity quiz flows that helped users find the right products for their needs.

With over 70% of our users browsing Thinx on mobile devices, we set out to create an in-app experience. Given development and UX constraints, Know Your Flow was designed to feel immersive while living entirely in the web browser.

The challenge

Visual system

Designing a foundational system

While the UX designer worked on research-based wireframes, I translated the existing brand into a visual system that supported a new immersive experience while maintaining brand consistency, leading the illustration art direction and collaborating closely on motion concepts.

Delightful interactions

The gamified experience uses progress feedback, motion, and microinteractions to keep users engaged throughout.

Unique UI palette

A gradient palette derived from Thinx’s brand red visualizes flow intensity from "very light" to "super," serving as a personalized cue across the user journey.

Playful illustrations

Surreal illustrations incorporate a red ball in 2-D spaces to describe a person on their period.

UI stickersheet

This cross-platform stickersheet illustrates how the brand scales across UI — with the flow palette carrying through tabs, filters, and product cards, and surrealist illustrations adapting from large desktop selection buttons to compact mobile versions.

Because users primarily browsed on mobile but converted on desktop, we designed for mobile clarity first — emphasizing strong contrast, touch-friendly controls, and small-screen interactions.

User insight

03

Prototype & test

Building the quiz for live user tests

We prototyped the flow and reviewed it with users in live focus groups to validate our thinking before moving into engineering. By observing these sessions, I was able to confirm or refine UX and UI decisions and ensure the experience helped users clearly understand how Thinx fit into their everyday lives.

After user testing, we shared notes and refined the designs as needed. For example, because our original dropdowns proved difficult for selecting flow routines, we moved to radio inputs to reduce cognitive load and improve usability.

User feedback

04

Launch & iterate

Using live data to inform & optimize

After launching the MVP, we tracked friction across the user flow: using conversion rates, dropoff, and user feedback to inform continuous optimization. Some enhancements included implementing an email gate ahead of results and building more personalization on the results page for a final push.

Through ongoing testing and direct feedback from our user community, the quiz ultimately converted 40% of users—proving that continuously challenging assumptions and learning from their actual experiences helped us build a quiz that educated both our customers and our team.
