Every product worth designing starts with a small frustration. For La Suzy, it appeared at night. The familiar calculation before turning over, a towel laid down just in case, the quiet awareness that sleep might be interrupted by a leak or discomfort. Waterproof bed protectors exist, but most were never made for periods. They were designed for hospitals, childcare, or incontinence. They work, but they rarely feel comfortable or discreet, and they do not re

Valentine’s Day comes with a script: romance, roses, chocolate, expectation. But real love — the kind that actually supports you — often looks much quieter. Sometimes, it’s preparing your bed before a heavy night.Sometimes, it’s choosing rest over pressure.Sometimes, it’s accepting that your body doesn’t need to perform to be loved. That’s self-love too. Redefining Love Beyond Romance We’re taught to see love as something we give outward — to partners, date

For many women, entering perimenopause doesn’t mean periods are ending — it means they’re becoming less predictable . Heavier nights. Sudden leaks. Interrupted sleep. These changes are common during perimenopause , the hormonal transition phase before menopause — and yet, night-time period care during this stage is rarely talked about. Especially when it comes to sleep protection . Perimenopause & Sleep Challenges: Why Nights Are Harder During perimenopause, fluctuating hormo

For years, many women in the UK have relied on a familiar night-time setup during their periods: pads, tampons, period pants… and a towel thrown over the sheets “just in case.” It worked well enough , until heavy flow, restless nights, or one unexpected leak proved otherwise. Now, something new (and wonderfully simple) is starting to gain attention: the period mat. And it’s changing night-time care in a big way. So… what exactly is a period mat? A period mat is a soft, absorb

When we talk about sustainable period care, most of us think of the big, obvious swaps: reusable cups, period pants, cloth pads, plastic-free packaging. But there’s a part of period care that often gets overlooked — and it’s one of the easiest places to reduce waste and stress: night-time protection. As we move into the holiday season, with travel, guest rooms, and end-of-year reflection, there’s no better moment to rethink the routines we rely on. And surprisingly, one of th

Travelling while on your period can feel like a whole extra suitcase of anxiety. New beds. Unfamiliar sheets. Long-haul journeys. Shared accommodation. And that tiny voice in your head whispering: “Please, not a leak… not here… not now.” If you’ve ever packed an entire pharmacy “just in case,” slept stiff as a plank in a hotel bed, or layered towels like a little makeshift fortress, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: period-proof travel is absolutely possible. And th

If you’ve ever struggled to sleep during a heavy period — especially in the colder months — you’re not imagining it. Hormonal changes, winter darkness, and nighttime leak anxiety all combine to make rest feel more disrupted during this part of your cycle. Many women report that November and early winter months are when their periods feel heavier, their sleep feels lighter, and their energy drops noticeably. Understanding why this happens is the first step toward creating a ni
