Companies MizFit loves: Thrivnp.

by

This is the first in a series of posts about companies with whom Im entirely smitten.

If by (finger quote) series (un FQ) you mean I shall post em when the spirit and customer service moves me—which I do.

I renown for being a tough customer.

I expect and demand that companies love me back or not only am I not a repeat customer — I spread the word to friends and family (ok except for these guys. Im still buyin’, but Ive already shared that it’s a dysfunctional relationship.  Youll have that).

Im also the flip side.

Im a huge brand loyalist.

Make a fantastic product? Im telling everyone I know.

Have quickfasthelpful customer service? I’ll patronize you every time.

Cost a few pennies more but make me feel as though you care about me as a consumer? Im in. Ill cut back elsewhere.

One example of such a brand is Thrivnp.

A long time ago, in a land farfar away, Thrivnp reached out to this blogger and offered her the opportunity to try out one of their sport-tops. 

I was in.  I was excited.  I ripped into the package with wild misfit abandon and immediately went for a run.

I loved much of the experience, yet one aspect left a bit to be desired & not enough to the imagination (Im not sure but the words Nipples McGee may have been bandied about).

I panicked.  I wanted to review the shirt (I liked 99% of it) yet Id never be less than honest in a review.

I penned the post and, as I never do, sent Thriv a preview.

And I nervously waited.

Quickfastandinahurry I received an email response.

Were they miffed?

Did they ask me to tweak or simply yank the post?

They were not & they did not.

Not only did Thrivnp thank me for my honesty, they shared the post with the company and assured me changes were being made to the, errr, nipple situation.

I was stunned.

I dont know what I expected, but I know what I didnt anticipate was an email of appreciation thanking me for my candid thoughts & offering to let me know when the new *thicker* run of sport-tops were on sale.

As a result, instead of dreading meeting Denise Gass of Thrivnp at Fitbloggin (which was swiftly approaching)–I was eager to meet the woman behind the company.


The happy couple.

And, of course, I couldn’t wait to try out the new sport-top (& the compression short. Good lord I love the compression shorts in this Texas heat.).

There you have it.

My Ode of Love (blah blah blah clarifying again this is some unpaid missive of adoration) & official bestowing of the MizFit Seal of Approval:

Thrivnp?

This misfit thinks you rock.

  1. Nipples McGee is the funniest thing I’ve heard in ages.
    I’ve also never heard of Thrivnp.

    Off to check them out.

    Thanks Miz.

  2. I remember the Nipples McGee post (how could I not LOL) and am happy to hear they weren’t angry and changed the product!

    Did you run on the compression shorts?

    Did they ride up?

  3. I’ve loved my Thrivnp shir!

    More importantly, HUBBEND has loved my Thrivnp shirt. He can’t keeps his hands off it when I’m wearing it. So, as you can imagine I love wearing it.

    It looks good on my curves and accentuates my positives. Honestly I want my whole wardrobe to be made out of that fabric.

    I have never been paid or solicited for an opinion by Thrivnp. I’m just a raving lunatic fan. Really. 😀

  4. This is what it is all about in my opinion.
    I see lots of giveaways on blogs and for some reason (I am cynical :)) I don’t trust them as I always wonder if they are paid.

    I think I have seen thrivnp in twitter?
    I have not seen their stuff in real life yet.

  5. Me Too! Me Too! Me Too!

    And DITTO what JBS said. Trophy Husband LOVES the one and only Thrivnp shirt I have and oft requests that I don it SANS BRASSIERE.

    Too much?

  8. I’m new to THRIVing (lol @ that tweet. I know you aren’t getting paid but you should) and read your old post.

    What size compression shorts are those?

    I’d need grande 😉

  10. I’ve never heard of them, but I admire the way they handled that. Customer service can make it or break it for me. If you’re rude, I don’t care how much I want your product; it’s not worth it to me.

  12. Im rolling on the handheld (and celebrating NATIONAL DONUT DAY with the child. all things in moderation are GOOD, People :)) so *if* Im recalling correctly the shorts were an xs?
    Ill double check.

    what I LOVED was they didnt cut into me as some all lycra shorts do (both NOT comfy and NOT attractive IMO).

    I did run in them and they didnt ride up 🙂
    Ive also worn them under shorts that are loose and dont have a liner.

    *I* wouldnt lift in JUST the compression/tee as they are too short for my comfort level.

    but thats me.

    I conservative that way.

  14. Ah, I remember Nipples McGee…your pose in this shirt is much more relaxed than in the pink one – so I’d say they did a good job fixing the problem. Wonderful that they listened to a customer!

    You are so right, we should take the time to give shout outs to companies that deserve it. So many don’t. I’m in the midst of trying, trying to get something corrected from a company that I want to support and love…but man are they slow, and making it hard for me to do so. Hence, no talkie about on the blog yet. Still hoping against hope at this point!

    Thanks for your sweet comments today. I have fun throwing everything into the Friday posts. 🙂

  15. Hee Hee – Nipples McGee. I remember that from the original post. How wonderful that a company would not only LISTEN, but that they would also RESPOND and ACT.

  16. Three things Miz.
    I’d never thought misfit was the play on words I thought it was Miss. Fit!
    Where is the video giving us specifics on getting your booty.
    Thanks for the introduction to Thrivnp.

  18. I have been stalking their website for a while…after this post, JBS and Mrs. Fatass’s comments…guess that seals the deal 🙂 I’ll be ordering soon! I think they have a bit longer compression shorts? I thought I saw some.

  20. I remember the great MizFit nipple-palooza!! Good times! I’m glad they fixed their top though. It looks supercute and comfy. They sound like an awesome company – will have to go check out their stuff!

  23. I’ve never heard of this company… I’m going to have to go check them out. Glad they heard your advice… hopefully my shirt will be perfect then 🙂

  27. Nipples McGee! Ha ha! 🙂 I think that’s awesome, er, not the Nipples McGee problem, uh, the customer service! That company will be around for a while!!! Thanks for sharing, they prob don’t have anything in this girls size, but I’m off to check them out anyway. As the FL heat is getting to me and I’m ready to wear something sleeveless, if I can’t beat the heat I’m gonna join it and try to be more comfortable.
    xo

  29. Never heard of Thrivnp or compression shorts? Gonna need to skim your older posts… gotta know the story behind this post.

    Your tattoo is awesome!!

  30. I loved their clothing when I saw them at FitBloggin’. Just wish they made them in larger sizes. Many of the women who come to Green Mountain need larger than XL or even XXL and so many of the companies don’t make those sizes. There is a good market for the sizes, though, and to have stylish, well-made fitness clothing in larger sizes would be so appreciated!

  31. I hadn’t heard of Thrivnp before this post.
    I don’t think those shorts would fit my booty but the tops might LOL

    Your tattoo is badass!!!

  32. I will look into these now that they’ve solved the Nipples McGee issue. I had a nipply problem yesterday in just a regular T-shirt. I walked out of a building where I’d met a lot of new people. I went to get in my car and noticed in the car window reflection that I was full-on presenting nip. So embarrassing.

  33. I have never heard of them either? Will have to go check em out! I love the shorts!!

    I wear something similar when I workout and I love them!

  35. I’ve never heard of Thrivnp, but after reading your post I will be checking them out for sure! I’ve been pursuing the elusive sport’s bra that works like it’s bigfoot and can never seem to find one that either 1) Has support(adjustable straps?) 2) I don’t end up with a uni-boob. How hard can all this be? I’m assumimg most are designed by men. Btw-your new site rocks!!

  36. I bought some thrivnp over the weekend and can not wait to try it out.

    Thanks for the review and referral, Miz.

  37. Hi MizFit!

    Listening to you was a no-brainer! We’re so grateful for the honest and constructive feedback. On the nipples, and later on the camel toe, etc.

    To the others–

    Thanks for checking us out! Feel free to share your feedback with us as well–we take all your comments very seriously.

    Re: sizing, yes, we are looking to add more sizes as soon as we can support it. We are just 8 months old, so more styles, colors, and sizes are coming.

    We’ll do what we can to make other companies more aware and responsible for their consumer relationships!

    Thanks for all the love. PS- 25 new styles coming to the website in one week!

  40. LOVE me some Thrivnp!! Great products, awesome people at the company…I can go on and on 🙂 I’m looking forward to getting a few new products as a treat for myself soon. And your seal of approval, MizFit, is always a great addition!

    PS: Nipples McGee makes me giggle like a school girl anytime I read it 😉
