I started my period at 12 and spent my school years thinking period disasters were just normal. Bleeding through my tights onto a classroom chair, my tampon nearly falling out on a long bus journey, and constant rashes from pads that felt like sandpaper.

I found tampons uncomfortable and impossible to wear, so I stuck with pads, but they always moved around and left me constantly on edge.

Then I discovered period pants, and honestly, it felt like wearing a soft cloud. For the first time, I felt relaxed, secure, and comfortable in my own body. I became obsessed with that feeling, and wanted everyone else to experience it too.

When I first got my period, we didn’t have access to proper period products. We used muslin cloths that had to be washed every night. Back then, periods were considered taboo and were acting like nothing was happening while dealing with pain, leaks, discomfort, and embarrassment.

Eventually, I switched to tampons, hoping for more freedom. But they brought discomfort, constant worries about leaks, and severe migraines which I later linked to tampon use. On heavy days, I could change them every hour to avoid leaks.

When I first discovered period pants, I honestly didn’t believe they could work. How would they absorb? How could they last for hours? Would they leak? What about smell? So many questions were racing through my mind.

When we discovered period pants for the first time, we felt comfort, ease, and freedom.

We wanted to share that feeling with others, but we just couldn’t find the perfect pair. So we spent a whole year testing colours, materials, styles, and absorbencies until we created our own. Not just to keep you comfy and protected, but to let you rock your favourite outfit.

Bang On Period is more than just protection.

It’s comfort. It’s confidence. It’s community.

Don’t just survive your period. Own it.
