Changing an industry.
One period at a time.

Manufacturers do not have to state on the packaging what ingredients are in their tampons. We want to know what's (literally) inside us and break the taboo! No more blue liquids, "mumus" and "strawberry weeks".

Our vision

A world without taboos about the female body.
