What Sets Heralogie Period Underwear Apart

In a crowded market, it can be challenging to differentiate between period underwear brands. At Heralogie, we're proud to stand out from the rest with our commitment to sustainability, quality, and community satisfaction. So, let’s break down what truly sets us apart:

The majority of our competitors use synthetic petrol-derived fabrics in their products, like polyester, nylon, lycra, etc. which essentially means you’re wearing PLASTIC. Those fabrics are derived from non-renewable fossil fuels, meaning their production is not eco-friendly (massive carbon footprint), they are not biodegradable, and they will take hundreds of years to decompose. Synthetic fabrics, such as these, can also trap heat and moisture, potentially causing discomfort or irritation. Additionally, when synthetic fabrics are washed or worn out, they can release microplastics into the environment through wastewater or air pollution. Heralogie is passionate about using sustainable fabrics that are gentle on the environment and your skin. Our products feature Tencel, an eco-friendly fabric harvested from beechwood tree pulp in Austria and surrounding areas. Tencel is known for its softness, breathability, and durability, making it an ideal choice for our period underwear. Unlike many other modal fabrics, ours is sourced from responsible suppliers who prioritize sustainability in all aspects of their production.

Many of the big brands in the menstrual care industry use 100% or majority polyester gussets in their underwear. While that may be absorbent, there are simply better options. Many people experience skin irritation, rashes or allergic reactions due to the synthetic materials used in polyester underwear. Polyester also retains heat, creating serious issues and discomfort in warm weather or during physical activity. Heralogie decided to do things differently. For added comfort and reduced irritation, our top layer is made from Organic Cotton. This gynecologist-recommended material ensures a gentle touch against your skin. We're committed to using only the highest-quality materials to provide a comfortable and supportive wear.

The major players in the menstrual care industry are major producers as well. Their products are mass produced and sourced from a range of supplier across China, Korea, Italy, and several other countries. This can contribute to some inconsistencies with product, significant carbon footprint, and questionable manufacturing practices to keep up with demand. Comparatively, Heralogie sources all our underwear from one small, woman-owned factory. We did our due diligence to ensure that we exclusively partner with a manufacturer that maintains safe working conditions, pays employees fairly, provides benefits like health insurance, and employs the most advanced practices in eco-friendly production and waste reduction possible.

At Heralogie, we believe that everyone deserves access to sustainable and high-quality period underwear. That's why we've worked hard to keep our prices reasonable, making it possible for our Community Members to enjoy our products without breaking the bank. The company accepts smaller margins in exchange for ethical production practices. We value our mission and community above our bottom line.

Born from a mission to empower menstruators and protect the environment, Heralogie is actively creating affordable, sustainable solutions to menstrual care with a goal of eliminating period poverty. Bootstrapped, we’re slowly building a selection of products that balance ethical production with comfort and style. We're proud to be a woman-owned business that's committed to making a positive impact for present and future generations! By choosing Heralogie period underwear, you're not only investing in your comfort and well-being but also supporting a sustainable, small business that cares about the planet.
