Reuseable sanitary wear - which company is good and actually uses the word woman?

I'm going to stock up for DD but I only want to spend my money on a company that actually calls us women/girls etc. I am not a person who has periods, I'm a woman who has periods.

Can anyone recommend anyone and point me in the right direction please?

Iirc, tulip pants just talk about the product and their use (menstruation, light bladder leaks, etc) without mentioning who uses them.

I really like ecofemme, and they also benefit girls in India.

Ecofemme.org have an online shop. I think they're based in India. They are "women-led" according to their website. I follow them on Instagram. I no longer have periods but I still enjoy seeing their posts. I used reusable nappies for my babies, so if this had been around when I was still menstruating, I would have tried them for sure.

And Modibodi pants are pretty good, too.

Place marking- need to stock up for both myself and DD

I’ve found Oko Creations to be pretty good. They’re a Canadian company and while a lot of our other reuseable pad companies (lunapads for instance) have been pandering to the trans crowd, Oko seems to be ok. They don’t have any issue using the word woman on their site anyway. Their pads are made from hemp rather than fleece or cotton, and they’re super comfortable.

Recommend Honour Your Flow for cloth pads - endearingly batshit and a good product.

The best pads I have are from a WAHM page on FB - Pretty period.

The Comfy Cushion Company on facebook has a private group for women for her washable pads. She sells other items but the private group is so women can discuss how the pads work etc.

Love Luna seem ok, first period wearing them plus Sainsbury’s have them for 25% off currently

Lillets still use the word woman. Just checked their website. Their tampons expand width ways ( way more comfortable than length ways) and their packaging is minimal, no applicator ( which is ridiculously wasteful) . Used all my life.
