August makes personalized period care using ethically and sustainably sourced organic cotton.

 We’re August, a lifestyle period brand working to make period care more sustainable, fun, and empowering. While most period products take 500-800 years to decompose, our pads are fully biodegradable within 12 months, and our tampons are designed to optimize comfort and absorbency, and have BPA free applicators with a rounded top for easier insertion. We believe in sustainable, inclusive, carbon-neutral, traceable period care that actually works.

We are not just about the period products you can personalize and subscribe to...August is so much more than that. We stand for fearless conversations about periods, period pain, period blood, and overall menstrual health, and that shows in our commitment to supporting our fast-growing global online community. We’re also tax-free! We don’t believe in that tax, so we cover the "tampon tax" for all subscribers who still live in one of the 20+ states that have the tax. And for every purchase with August, we donate products to menstruators in need or donate a % of their sale to an organization of choice.

August earns largely positive reviews for soft, comfortable, organic-cotton pads and tampons that many find effective and non‑irritating, though mixed feedback questions pad adhesion/coverage and some tampon applicators feel hard to deploy or don’t open fully. Reviews praise beautiful, discreet, eco‑minded packaging and dissolvable liners, while recurring critiques cite pads that crinkle or leak on heavier flows and wings that don’t stick reliably.
