Our Story

Period care made for women, by women.

Building a world designed for women to thrive.

Riley began with a simple question: why are women still using period products filled with chemicals?

When co-founders Fiona and Áine discovered the hidden toxins inside mainstream products, they felt compelled to build something better: period care that genuinely puts women’s health first.

In 2021, Riley launched with 100% certified organic cotton products designed around women’s health, comfort, and confidence.

What started as a fight against harmful toxins, has evolved into a movement for female empowerment.

We’re bringing high-performing period care into homes, workplaces, schools, and hotels across the world, making menstrual wellbeing impossible to ignore.

We believe that period care isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic need and should be in every bathroom, everywhere, just like toilet paper and hand soap.

Menstruation is a human rights issue

Our fight against period poverty

Period poverty is an important, yet often ignored, public health crisis that refers to the prevalent phenomena of being unable to afford products to manage menstrual bleeding. Period poverty is estimated to affect 500 million people worldwide.

Menstruation is a human rights issue. It is also a public health and development issue. The shame and stigma associated with periods prevents people from talking about them. This leads to a lack of dialogue regarding access to menstruation products, the tax on these products, and even the ingredients that they include.

At Riley, we’re proud to be part of the fight against period poverty by providing access to safe, sustainable menstrual products and helping break the stigma through education and advocacy. Our charity partners include:

Everyone deserves to manage their period with dignity, no exceptions.
