A reminder of where life starts — and who carries it forward. This cap honours the quiet power of women: the ones who create, nurture, and sustain life, in every sense.

Made to honour the cycle, the strength, and the soft authority of those who give life — and live it on their own terms.

  • Unisex
  • Made from 100% recycled cotton canvas
  • Breathable
  • Cold hand wash
  • White embroidery on grey base

All profits from its sale go to supporting victims of domestic violence via the women's shelter Pop In — because strength means standing with those who need it most.

Yes. In home composting conditions, our regular pad decomposed in under 12 months. Our compost diary documents it breaking down in real time — so you can see for yourself.

240mm long with 35ml absorbency, suitable for regular / medium flow. Breathable and hypoallergenic against skin.

A certified organic cotton top sheet and core, a plant-based back sheet and wrapper (AS5810 certified), and food-grade adhesive. Zero plastic — in the pad and the packaging. Our Inside out products page shows what is in each pad layer by layer.

We would love our pads to be made in Australia, but unfortunately the machinery required is only offshore. If the option to manufacture in Australia ever becomes a possibility, we will move production onshore.

The minimum order quantities required to place an order with our suppliers are over 100,000 units. This is a significant financial and logistical investment. This is a small start up business so strategically, we started with one size and will build on that as soon as we are able to.

As soon as we have enough recurring orders and customers, we will expand to include overnight pads and liners.

More than just a pad
