OUR MISSION?
TO KEEP YOU MOVING THROUGH MENSTRUATION MOTHERHOOD AND MENOPAUSE
KEEPING GIRLS IN SPORTS
50% of young girls say they’ve skipped playing sports because of their period.
Issues like pain, shame, and fears around leaks all contribute to this worrying statistic. Our goal is to give young women more period positivity by breaking taboos, sharing our menstrual health knowledge, and offering them a discreet, comfortable period care option they can use every day of their cycle.
…and yet many elite sportspeople are still embarrassed to talk to their coaches about their menstrual cycle and pelvic floor health. As the official partner of sports teams including England Netball and Scottish Hockey, we’re working to break down the stigma in sports and provide game-changing underwear for athletes at all levels.
Active mum Kelly Newton designed her first pair of knickers after struggling with bladder leaks on the hockey pitch and almost giving up sport altogether. Kelly launched the business in 2019 with Coni Longden-Jefferson, who came on board after finding Kelly’s designs were the answer to her plastic-free period prayers.
OUR JOURNEY
Mum of 2 Kelly Newton is struggling with little bladder leaks, brought on by childbirth and early menopause.
Kelly starts to research leak-proof underwear and finds that everything on the market is bulky, unattractive and no good for playing sports in.
Kelly designs her first pair of VPL-free-, leak-proof knickers and launches her underwear range with the help of co-founder Coni Longden-Jefferson.
