Meet The Founders
We first met at school when we were 11 years old. We've been through a lot together - bad haircuts, terrible boyfriend choices and quite a few after-school detentions.
Starting a business together was something we'd always liked the idea of but finding the right business isn't as easy as it sounds.
We founded Hello Period (originally called Hello Cup) after realising period care needed some serious innovation. For too long we'd been told tampons and pads were the only option. They're expensive, wasteful and not overly comfortable or reliable.
We wanted more choice and better, safe and more environmentally-friendly options for our daughters.
We're pretty bloody proud of Hello Period. Our products are designed by us with love and are designed to last years, not hours. We don't cut corners on quality or comfort.
But for us, Hello Period isn't just about products - it's about normalising periods. For too long the subject of menstruation has been taboo. It's nuts. Half the world's population will experience periods for around 40 years of their lives. We are here to encourage conversation, promote awareness and smash those stigmas!
If you're looking for the best sustainable period care on the planet, you're in the right place.
Not all period products are created equal and when it comes to your vajayjay, you only want to put trustworthy stuff up there (sound advice from our grandmothers).
All Hello Period products are designed by people with periods for people with periods.
We stand proudly behind everything we make. Our flagship menstrual cup, the Hello Cup™ , was named 'Best Menstrual Cup' by Cosmopolitan USA and has won a truckload of other awards.
Our revolutionary Hello Disc™ menstrual disc features a world-first double-looped removal tab which can be worn four ways to suit all cervix heights. It can even be used for no-mess period sex.
We're super proud to be the only sustainable period care company in the world to offer a one-stop shop - offering a something for everyone. Whether you prefer internal or external period product, we've got your back (and your vajayay).
We have menstrual cups for all cervix heights and we also have period underwear and reusable pads.

Not only is our packaging is cute but it's also fully recyclable. The 'window' on our Hello Cup and Hello Disc boxes might look plastic-y but they're actually made from plants and can be removed and popped in your home compost. The cardboard can put put in your kerbside paper recycling.
