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 strong reviews for comfortable, soft organic-cotton pads and tampons, chic low-waste packaging, and mission-driven sustainability and inclusivity; the products generally work well, especially for light-to-moderate flow and sensitive skin. Reviews also flag weaknesses—pads’ adhesive can be too weak or too strong, liners and pads may shift or crinkle, heavy-flow users report leaks, and the tampon applicator can be hard to deploy—making sizing and adhesion fit key considerations before buying.

For subscriptions- it'll be helpful to pick the exact day I'd like the delivery to arrive to make sure I have enough product in time (On the roadmap! :-))

I love the product innovation that their pads/tampons are biodegradable, plastic free, AND are so much more comfortable than the traditional products!  The customizable boxes have a slick design and energizing pop of color, as as a customer I appreciated being in control of the quantities I could order for each product.

Although subtle, I also appreciated their messaging is specifically for "all people who menstruate". It's a subtle but progressive nod to trans and nonbinary people to create a more inclusive brand community.
