When I designed the Flow Riders Heavy Flow G-String I was making my dream pair of period underwear.

I realised I prefer G-string style underwear over all else pretty early on. I think it is the shape of my body, so very soon that is all I would wear. Except of course when I was bleeding, then the "granny undies" would come out!

I tried all manor of options both reusable and disposable, internal and external. Still I found myself at the age of 38 very dissatisfied. I was still staining sheets, feeling terrible about the waste in my rubbish bin, and uncomfortable and miserable throughout my monthly bleed.

I have been sewing for almost as long as I have been bleeding! So it made perfect sense that I should try and make what I was unable to find in the current market. I had some pretty clear criteria, it had to be as organic and natural as possible, fair-trade, while also being highly effective, and most importantly supremely comfortable.

I made about 13 different iterations, perfecting the design. My most important test was it had to allow me to feel secure and protected all night long, even on my heaviest night.

Do you know what? I have not had blood on my sheets since I sewed my first pair of Flow Riders, and I have not once been woken up with that "have I bled through?" feeling.

This is honestly the most exciting product to bring out to the world, I want you all to feel that Flow Riders feeling I have come to expect.

We do not need to dread our bleed, and there is so much room for innovation with period products!

Lots of Love,
