August reviews and discussion

These period products from August have been good quality. I do not find them to be as absorbent as other brands, but prefer these due to their claims of being organic and non toxic. I like the packaging and branding as well.

Their transparency tab shares how pads and tampons are manufactured, in China and Germany respectively. I tested out the pads and had such a soft, cushiony time. It is pure cotton, which felt super soft and snug as I went about my day from biking, yoga, walking the dogs, to sleeping and chilling on the floor with friends during game night. The pads come in a variety of absorbency from Day, Night, Long Night, and Liners. I used Long Night on my heaviest flows, Day and Night during their respective times, and liners on the tail end of my cycle!

I was able to try this product for free through a rebate website. I really like the packaging and overall cool feel of this brand. I think the tampons worked well and the price is on par with other similar products.

Love the new design and the sustainable mission. These tampons worked for me. I appreciate the expansion in width and not just length as they absorb. Extra points for being Climate Label certified and a 1% for the Planet brand. I hope their next product is applicator-free tampons.

Definitely cotton and organic I love the pads for my lower regions because it keeps her feeling protected and safe during my periods! All their products work wonders with no irritation and I would tell all my friends to get it

The pad is comfy with wings (which I really appreciate!) The width seems a big longer than the ones I've used - this is really great, especially if there's accidental leaks. Depends on your flow, it may be better suited for the lighter days. I like the environmental packaging. The only reason I docked the reason is because heavier flow feels risky of a overflow with the thin pad.

The best pads no bother at all there light and very absorbing I am not fan of tampons but my friends try it and they said they are great too!!I had the lightweight pads which works well for me compare with other brands.

August had a great unboxing and I like how all of the product boxes fit neatly inside so there was no waste. The packaging is sleek and cool and isn't anything like traditional period brands. Also really resonate with the mission.

They are more comfortable than other 100% cotton pads. I have a heavy flow and the night pads usually get me thru the night with zero issues.These pads are worth the switch. They are extremely soft but not fall apart soft. They absorb well as I use them through the night.

100% organic cotton pads! This brand is absolutely wonderful. The product I’ve tried is the day & night pads. They did their job well without leaking. I feel great knowing that there aren’t a bunch of chemicals in this pad!

Finally found a period brand that gets it. August tampons are organic, sustainable, and actually comfortable. No leaks, no weird crinkly wrappers, and zero irritation. The plastic-free packaging is chic and eco-conscious, and I genuinely feel good about supporting a company that’s transparent and inclusive. The applicator has a bit of a learning curve, but once you get it, it’s a total game-changer. Period care that doesn’t feel like an afterthought? Yes please.

I’ve tried the regular and super tampons. I love the packaging definitely more aesthetically pleasing compared to the usual brands. I love how their tampons are made with organic cotton and have no fragrances or dyes, it makes me feel safe about using these tampons.

I have a subscription for these products and I will say I LOVE the pads and panty liners but find that the tampons have leakage, especially with heavier flow. Also, the pads stick together sometimes which can rip the packaging but this does not discourage me from buying.

The August tampon have a design that differentiates them from traditional brands — they open axially, “like a pair of angel wings.” August claims this to be the best fit for the true shape of your vagina.

I loved it very soft and comfortable I love it!

I found this brand on TikTok and I was intrigued so I ordered their “build a box” and when I got my period the first day I knew I was hooked. I HATE pads but these pads were like a whole different breed of pads. They are soft, they don’t stick to your vagina, they dry quickly and they DONT STINK! The tampons don’t irritate me at all and are super comfortable to wear. The liners melt into your underwear as do the rest of the pads. The nights pads though are highly UNDERRATED! Once again I HATE pads but these are my life savers! The double butterfly strap really makes a difference and they don’t move around or sound like your wearing a plastic bag when you walk! I absolutely love this brand and everything they stand for! I will be shouting your name from the rooftops to anybody with a bleeding vagina lol! I love you guys!

I love August’s day and night pads! They are so soft and absorptive! I haven’t had any leaks with these pads. I love the packaging and vibe of the company. I also love knowing I’m using organic cotton products that are biodegradable!

Everything about this company is wonderful. The customer service, the inclusivity, and especially the product. The comfort is incredible, especially the pads! They literally feel like you’re sitting on a pillow. Also, no tampon tax! August products are also cheaper than in store products especially if you order subscription boxes. ♥️ 10/10 would recommend any day.

AMAZING!!! WHEN I SAY YOU NEED THESE PRODUCTS IN YOUR LIFE I MEAN IT! super cute packaging, affordable, and for SURE WORTH YOUR MONEY. I love how this brand promotes affordability and ECO FRIENDLY PRODUCTS WHICH IS SO GREAT. they’re very open about periods which is so amazing because there’s this huge stigma towards them. I love the products, the pads are so soft and comfortable and literally feel like clouds! I got free chocolate and tampons with my purchase which was so amazing even though I don’t use tampons, I’ll always have some on me for my friends that do. THANK YOU SO MUCH AUGUST FOR YOUR WONDERFUL PRODUCTS! I highly recommend these to anyone that get their cycle ! :)))))

Love that the packaging is discrete other than the tape and the customizable monthly subscription allows me to forget about buying products, they just show up! lol
