Last week, I received 2,000 pairs of period underwear, and just like that, monthly officially outgrew the tiny guest bedroom in my parents' house! Since 2023, that little room has been my headquarters—where every single order was packed by hand. But when all those inventory boxes showed up... yeah, it was time to level up.
New HQ: The Garage (Yes, Really!)
I know, I know—a garage doesn’t sound glamorous, but it means we’re GROWING! 🤩🥁 Cue the drumroll for my very chaotic new workspace! 🥁
As soon as the products arrived last Monday, I got straight to WORK. Every single pair had to be counted to make sure everything was correct. And with the huge response to our Valentine’s Day 'pay-what-you-want' sale, there were a LOT of orders to pack. That meant:
- Counting each pair for inventory tracking
- Stamping every package
- Writing thank-you card
- Packing and shipping everything ASAP
Luckily, my amazing friends stepped up to help, and together, we got everything done in under two days 🥹. Couldn’t have done it without them!
Love Notes & Lessons Learned 💌
One of my favorite parts of this sale? Your love letters! So many of you included sweet notes with your orders, and I read every single one. Y’all made me laugh, tear up, and feel so connected to this community.
This note was my absolute favorite:
Thank you so much! It's so hard to find gender affirming period products, it makes such a difference! :)
this is my fav company and product and i scream your name at the top of my lungs to whomever will listen < 3
i love you so much for this thank you you're a blessing to my vagina😭
And based on all your messages, one thing is clear—we’re definitely running this sale again next year!
Shipping Madness & Post Office Side-Eyes 📦
By Wednesday afternoon, every single order was out the door! It was a HUGE relief (for me and for you, I’m sure—thank you for your patience!! <3).
Not gonna lie, I got some confused looks at the post office when I rolled up with a trunk FULL of packages. But hey, they took them, and some of you have already received your undies—whoop whoop! 🎉
monthly: Small but Mighty 💪
If monthly looks big on social media, let me set the record straight—we’re still super homegrown. Right now, I’m the only full-time employee (except when my incredible friends and family step in—eternally grateful for them!).
Every package passes through my hands, and I’m really proud of that. With all your support, we’ve gone from a tiny bedroom to a garage... and maybe one day, a full-on warehouse?!
So from my small biz with a BIG heart—thank you for helping us grow. I’m so excited for what’s next. Bring it on, 2025!
xoxo, Aiko 🤍
