So little Miss Sarah sees herself as one of Canada’s most influential women and has decided to feature herself in a pay-to-play magazine while leading her followers to believe someone called her to arrange this cover story. This whole Influencer business just reeks! It really feels like she’s throwing everything, including the kitchen sink, at her ‘big career job’ hoping to stay relevant. Her fairy godmother is giving up the executive suite, packing up the family and travelling for a year so Sarah is frantically trying to keep her head above water.
She’s pathetic. She really thinks highly of herself that she believes she’s one of the most influential woman on the Internet. What does she even DO??? She gets half naked and shows her body while pretending to love that body but filters it, that’s influential? What a world we live in that people fall for this crap.
i always think she’s reached peak cringe, and then she manages to out-do herself again and again. i gotta give it to her, she has absolutely NO shame (… pun intended)
Ahh yes, Iconic magazine… Is that a Condé Nast publication? I’m being sarcastic.
Another feature on how she’s a warrior just for showing up. I secretly love all of this. She’ll make a great character in a fiction novel. Uncredited, of course. 😏 & truthfully, she’s really nothing without the fake hair.
I can’t find her making this comment anywhere on the post so I’m very confused by this search result! AI tells me it’s in Sarah’s caption but I don’t see it.
I told AI the comment is not in the caption and got this
A further search result it this one but the Substack is subscription only.i guess ‘organic choice’ means she didn’t pay?
She seems to have a limitless number and her loyal followers don’t seem to care they’re filtered. Her shoulder and chest in that 7th pic is a revelation and looks nothing like the one further down.
I’m not surprised. Essity (the company that bought Knix) recently purchased OB Tampons, Platex and Carefree. Essity is dipping its toe into the traditional realm of feminine care as period panties are being deemed unsafe and WAY less absorbent than they claimed to be*.
*On the Essity website under feminine care, five types of products are listed before “leakproof apparel” … “We offer a broad portfolio of pads, panty liners, tampons, intimate soaps and wipes…” It seems leakproof apparel isn’t a priority for Essity anymore.
I wonder if Joanna Griffiths quit or was asked to leave Knix/Essity?
Something is up.
The New Jersey Health Department issued a warning about period panties, and more studies from multiple universities, including Harvard, are showing the dangers of PFAS (skin absorbability).
I wonder if Joanna is trying to slip away before an entire generation realizes she knowingly poisoned them.
It’s amazing how many false claims Joanna Griffiths made about Knix being 100% PFAS-free. Sure, Joanna, just like your claims of “No photoshop or editing”… From class action lawsuits that Joanna Griffiths lost (regarding PFAS in Knix) to over 50 retouching files from Knix “no photoshop campaigns” being exposed, we know Joanna is a BIG FAT LIAR.
One interesting lie Joanna Griffiths made to cover up her “PFAS-free” lie was that “Knix contained only short-chain PFAS, which aren’t dangerous.” That’s cute, Joanna. In 2024, the University of Birmingham released a massive study concluding that compounds like PFBS and PFPeA (short-chain) can penetrate skin at substantially higher absorption fractions than legacy long-chain chemicals like PFOA. In other words, short-chain PFAS absorb into our bodies within hours of wearing a garment. It was also noted that types of skin (thinner skin) are more permeable.
I guess Joanna is like Sarah and doesn’t read the news.
I find it amusing that the University of Toronto is the school that discovered how period panties are the least absorbent and their absorbancy claims are wildly exaggerated. Of course, the NYTimes, Scientific American, and various USA-based and UK publications wrote about this. The Canadian media didn’t touch it. Wouldn’t want to upset the precious Joanna. She has more millions to make. More women to make sick or kill.
The joke of it all is that Joanna claimed Knix were more environmentally friendly, meanwhile anyone who uses them contaminates our water supply (thanks!).
Joanna claimed Knix are more affordable. With women needing 10-15 pairs, this is another lie.
I read about women asking for advice on cleaning their Knix. I’ve seen photos of them soaking in buckets, taking up the laundry room. Women on their knees scrubbing their period panties. Joanna’s adverts and campaigns made these women think period panties are more moral, or that by wearing Knix you are a feminist.
Really? I do question those who bought into this. Have we lost our ability to think critically, or are we that naive?
Period panties aren’t new. The same product was made in the 1910’s and 20s. They were replaced by pads and tampons in the 1930’s. Why? Because pads and tampons worked better and gave women more freedom. Joanna set women back. She remarketed an outdated product. She put us back on the “rag”.
I guarantee girls are playing fewer sports because they are afraid of their leaking panties.
Last note: Since the USA cracked down on PFAS levels allowed in garments, many women are complaining about their period panties leaking or not working as well. Coincidence?
& why did Joanna Griffiths shutter all the California Knix stores? California is not poor. Their GDP is the 4th biggest in the world. Could it be that Governor Gavin Newsom’s new PFAS restrictions would exclude Knix?
We will never know because Joanna Griffiths, like Sarah Nicole Landry, is a woman who supports women (lol); she is untouchable.
Good luck to the women out there who wear Knix.
*From the National Institute of Health NIH “Emerging research indicates that chronic exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) can induce resistance to common chemotherapy drugs (like carboplatin, doxorubicin, and oxaliplatin) in cancers such as ovarian, colorectal, and pancreatic. PFAS chemicals achieve this by altering mitochondrial function, disrupting normal cell cycles, and reducing the effectiveness of treatments.”
Joanna said, “It’s no big deal; they (PFAS) are everywhere.” YES, because of tools like you, lady. And not all PFAS are rubbing up against our thin-skinned privates for hours, days and weeks.
She knew she was lying when she made that PFAS-free claim but didn’t think she’d get outed. It will be interesting if this turns into another talc-like claim in the years to come.
Haven’t been on Lemmy for a while, so late to reply! Thank you for this comment! This is SO interesting. I have Endo and Adeno, so bled incredibly heavily before I was put on meds. I used period undies (particularly Knix because they weren’t too tight on my sore belly like other brands) so this hits hard! And funnily enough, I actually found them not through an influencer, but on recommendation from a friend. And then recommended them to other friends, before I heard about the PFAS scandal. I switched to a disc pre-covid, and never looked back. The amount of women who these asshats have potentially hurt… Fuck them.

Who else has been on the cover and how many are with Shine? She gave 💵 to do this, so weird to act like it’s something she was chosen for 😵💫
She’s pathetic. She really thinks highly of herself that she believes she’s one of the most influential woman on the Internet. What does she even DO???

I want her to hit the level of cringe that gets her permanently cancelled. I think it’s coming.
🤞 we can hope!
I sure hope so!!

I asked Google if she paid for this cover and this is what I got.
Did anyone hear her say that she was offered a different cover but it was paid so she did Iconic?
Where is this from? I’m reading the comments on her post.
I can’t find her making this comment anywhere on the post so I’m very confused by this search result! AI tells me it’s in Sarah’s caption but I don’t see it.

I like this comment -
The comment you like is great! I still think Sarah paid. There is no way they would give her this. Everyone else has paid.
It feels like another SI moment where it’s obvious she paid but she will deny it until her dying day!
I have a question. How many faces and noses can one person have in a day?
She seems to have a limitless number and her loyal followers don’t seem to care they’re filtered. Her shoulder and chest in that 7th pic is a revelation and looks nothing like the one further down.
I’ve been thinking about this… Did she ACTUALLY sign off on this nose?! Because if so, who is she trying to be this week?!
This is my issue with AI. it’s never accurate, just pretends to be.
Ew, imagine if a dude wrote this? She’d be all over it (while secretly loving it).
wtf at this comment
Wait what lol who’s traveling for a year?
Queen Panties announced she’s quit Knix and is taking the family for a trip of a lifetime - it begins in Kenya

Exactly, it’s really pathetic that she lied and doubled down. All because she can’t be wrong.

Oh I must of missed that…
