Are you wearing period blinders?

August’s content director Nadya Eddy said, “I don’t think people realize the true magnitude that access to period care and information has on society as a whole. When asked to come up with one thing I was surprised to learn on my journey with August–I couldn’t pick just one. I feel like I had the blinders ripped off of my eyes when it comes to the experience of having a period, and I am angry! We are so complacent with companies creating environmentally damaging products with harmful chemicals, and using their platforms to sell us an outdated narrative on what having a period looks like. I am so excited to work with August to cut the BS around period stigma, educate with Ask August, give back to menstruators in need, and provide a product that puts our community and the environment first!”
