About

Hi, we're monthly

The comfiest period underwear. Period.

Founded by Aiko Pickering, monthly is all about making sure the most difficult part of the month can have a little added comfort…because let’s face it… periods suck…especially if you have a hard to manage one. We’re just here to help you get comfier, cozier, and affirmed when you’re on your period.

Note from our founder

"I did not know what it was to have a hard to manage, complex period until 2022. That’s when I was diagnosed with pelvic floor dysfunction. The diagnosis made everything click: menstrual cups & tampons were causing me pain and leakage and I finally knew why.

I was confused, angry, and honestly just ready to throw in the towel and grab any old pad from the period aisle… so like any rational person, I started oversharing/complaining to everyone in my circle.

I realized that the people around me, no matter their unique period experience, were not completely satisfied with their products either. Whether their products were too big, small, bulky, tight, wasteful, restrictive, lacked inclusion... their experiences echoed my own. So I decided to create a new kind of period product brand — one focused on care, because myself and countless others need that the most when our periods get difficult. monthly is for those that want to change their relationship with their period, so it's more manageable, comfy, and affirming to their unique period experience."

- Aiko Pickering, Founder, CEO, & HMIC (Head Menstruator in Charge)

More than a period product

Forget the stiff, bulky, one-size-fits-all options from the period aisle. You deserve period care that actually fits your life. At monthly, we're here to redefine what period care means by listening to what you need. Every piece of our period underwear is designed with feedback from real people (yep, like you) who know that comfort, inclusivity, and style can all live in one pair of undies.

We’re not just a brand; we’re a movement. Our period care doesn’t compromise—whether that’s for you or the planet. Each pair is intentionally crafted, so you can feel good about what you’re wearing, start to finish.

Oh, and we’re all about growing with you. Think we’re missing something? Take our quick survey below to share your thoughts and help shape the future of monthly. Because your period, your voice, and your feedback drive everything we do.

Doing good from day one

Did you know monthly actually started as a nonprofit? Our mission has always been bigger than products—it’s about making period care that’s accessible for everyone. We launched monthly after realizing that some people can’t even get their hands on the basics. And even when they can, there’s a huge gap in finding period care that truly fits diverse lifestyles. We’re here to fill that gap.

Once we’re on solid ground, we’re committing to give back by supporting period poverty initiatives in the Deep South. For now, our founder is out there pushing for real change—taking on the tampon tax, advocating for menstrual equity, supporting gender-affirming healthcare, and fighting for better access to period care.

monthly isn’t just a brand; it’s a movement. Thanks for being part of it.

Made with care

Unlike big brands that prioritize volume, we’re driven by values. We’re here to build products that serve you—our community—while honoring the planet and the people behind every stitch. Our journey to redefine period care starts with our factory partner.

Located in Guangdong, China, our partner specializes in period products and understands the importance of quality, comfort, and affordability. They hold top certifications like BSCI, GOTS, Oeko-Tex100, and GRS, ensuring safe working conditions, sustainable materials, and transparency at every step.

We focus on small-batch production to keep prices fair and reduce waste. This approach allows us to grow sustainably as our community grows with us. Plus, we prioritize recycled and natural fibers wherever possible—because your period care should be as kind to the planet as it is to you.
