About August

August is working to reimagine period care to be gender-inclusive, sustainable, and customizable–because periods aren’t one size fits all, and period care shouldn’t be either. August tampons, pads, and liners are soft, super absorbent, and leak-proof. Crafted with 100% organic cotton, they are hypoallergenic, and free of harmful chemicals, fragrances, toxins, and dyes. Known for their viral TikTok content and strong community, the INNER CYCLE, this AAPI-founded brand challenges period stigma and uplifts menstruators of every gender. August democratizes access to period care through their impact initiatives, by paying customers back any amount spent in tampon taxes wherever possible, and by providing medically-verified period health education for free on their website. With every DTC purchase, August gives back by donating products to underserved communities — over 160k products to date — and by contributing 1% of each order to a non-profit of your choice from their partners: The Surfrider Foundation, Point of Pride, GRID Alternatives, and No More Secrets MBS Inc. They show their continued commitment to sustainability through yearly sustainability reports, and by being a 1% for the Planet member, Climate Neutral certified, and 100% Net Plastic Recycled certified through Plastic Collective.
