Periods are happening everywhere women are.

Can we talk about the period product situation in public spaces for a second? 
I have been caught out without products before. In fact, I don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been.

We put coffee machines, phone chargers, and fancy hand soap in our bathrooms. Some offices have snack bars, nap pods, and kombucha on tap. But the one thing that half the population needs every single month? Nowhere to be found. 

Hotels are the same. You can get a sewing kit, a shower cap, a pillow menu, a sanitary bag to place period products, but actual pads and tampons? Good luck. 

Here's the thing though — women have always sorted it out amongst themselves. There's an unspoken code. A silent understanding of bag-rummaging and whispered, "I've got you." I've started packing more than I need, every single time, just in case. And honestly? I hand out the extras more often than you'd think. Because we're all out here quietly looking out for each other — which is lovely but also says a lot about the gap we're filling.

It shouldn't be a big ask. Period products in offices, hotels, gyms, and public spaces aren't a luxury — they're just basic. The same way we don't expect people to bring their own hand soap, or toilet paper; we shouldn't expect to perfectly predict and pack for every moment of their cycle. 

I get that perhaps one of the issues is that they have never looked good enough to display – until now. I’ve created a period brand that looks right at home on the bathroom counter or toiletry amenity display in hotels — not secretly stuffed in a handbag.

Because women deserve to just... get on with their day and not spend their lunch break running to the closest store. 

Who else is secretly carrying extras? (and wishes they didn’t have to?)
