HOW WE BUILT IT
We interviewed female athletes and doctors, generated 50 ideas, and built a pack around the four that stood out. Then we tested it with real teams and rebuilt around their feedback.
THE PACK
WHAT ATHLETES FOUND
9.87 / 10
average effectiveness rating from the athletes in our final stage of testing.
100%
of testers said they would use the Period Pack again.
It makes me feel comfortable because I don't have the insecurity of not knowing if I have pads or tampons.
It made my cramps stop and it wasn't visible or restricting.
The ice pack was my favorite item. I get bad muscle cramps and soreness when I'm on my cycle, so the ice pack helped a lot.
