If you follow me on TikTok, you know that I am all about searching for period products on airplanes. I will literally bust down the walls of the bathroom cabin to try and find the big bulky pads. Don't worry, I don't break anything! These videos have racked up millions of views, perhaps representative of the obvious need for free period care to be available in flight. And TRUST, that I am actively working behind-the-scenes to push for August to join in-flight offerings...perhaps 2024 is the year we have something finalized for it. But until then, I'll be making noise about needing tampons/pads in the sky!! Talked about this with Suhanee Mitragotri for the Council on Foreign Relations! https://lnkd.in/eafWgdpu

August had racked up VIOLATIONS on TikTok shop after trying to list our products there. Period care is a banned category...it still is. I'm not surprised though because frustrating restrictions like this are barriers we've/I've had to face for the last decade of my career online working in this period space. Talked about this and more with Katie H. Morning Brew! I'm hopeful that it is changing though, and thankful to have the inroads that we do with the TikTok team. And hope that we're close to a much larger and more official TikTok shop launch in the near future. https://lnkd.in/ezUBZFda

What's in my bag? My August tampons, of course. And I always try to carry extras for girly pops I might meet who need one or just want to try. In good company with some other beauty faves, tysm NYLON! https://lnkd.in/eCNfaFUt

Shoutout to our partnerships this month: Taimi: LGBTQ+ Dating App who we collaborated on a specialty box of products (10% of proceeds are going to Point of Pride), No More Secrets Mind Body Spirit Inc. and GLSEN?

CELEBRATING 3 YEARS OF AUGUST PRODUCTS?? Nothing makes us happier than reading DMs or comments like: “I’ve never had a good experience with pads til I tried August”, or "my daughter & all her friends are actually EXCITED about getting their first period because of August" ?? We've said it before and we'll say it again: everything we do is for & by our community. Couldn't be more thankful to be on this journey to reimagine period care for EVERYONE who menstruates. With love,? Team August
