Period panties

Has anyone tried period panties? It's this new trend I keep seeing online. They are absorbable panties you can wear instead of pads or tampons. I just bought my first pair from Thinx. A $30 investment, but I wanted to give it a try since I've had to throw out so many cute panties over the years. Wondering if anyone else has tried them and what their option is.
