Heralogie stands out in the period underwear market due to its dedication to sustainability, quality, and community satisfaction. Unlike competitors using synthetic fabrics that harm the environment, Heralogie uses eco-friendly Tencel and organic cotton for comfort and breathability. Their products are sourced from a single, woman-owned factory that prioritizes ethical practices and fair wages. Despite the higher production costs, Heralogie keeps prices reasonable to ensure accessibility. Founded with a mission to empower menstruators and protect the environment, Heralogie is a woman-owned business committed to making a positive impact for present and future generations.

Disposable menstrual products have a significant environmental impact, with the average menstruator generating around 330 pounds of waste in their lifetime. A single pad takes approximately 500 years to decompose, and the U.S. alone contributes to 12 billion pads and 7 billion tampons discarded annually, leading to massive plastic waste. This waste harms marine life, contaminates food chains, and adds to sewer pollution. Heralogie aims to reduce this impact by using sustainable materials like biodegradable Kraft paper, recycled packaging, and Tencel fabric. Though not entirely eco-friendly, their efforts contribute to long-term environmental benefits.
