The period care industry has always had a default customer in mind. Aiko Pickering looked at that default and decided it wasn't good enough. Aiko is the founder of monthly, a gender-inclusive period underwear brand built for people who've been underserved by traditional period care: those managing dysphoria, PCOS, endometriosis, and cycles that hit harder than most products are designed to handle. What sets Monthly apart isn't just the product it's the intention behind it. Every design decision starts with community input, not assumptions. The underwear is built with recycled materials because sustainability and inclusivity aren't separate values here — they're the same commitment to building something better. And the fit, the function, the language on the website — all of it is designed to make the people who need this product most actually feel seen by it. Proud to spotlight our makers like Aiko on https://lnkd.in/dDR8pUfn, where founders are building brands that fill the gaps the big players left behind. 🌍💙 #MeetTheMaker #Monthly #PeriodCare #GenderInclusive #Sustainability #SmallBiz #Entrepreneurship #FounderStory
