It’s no secret that the best ideas are born out of desire to make some of the most inconvenient parts of life just a little bit more bearable. It is exactly this kind of innovative thinking that sparked the idea for LOLA, an organic feminine care brand taking the world by storm. The founders of LOLA solved a problem so inevitable in a woman’s life that it simply became routine and accepted: shopping for feminine care products month after month is seriously the worst.
Thanks to LOLA, there is no longer a need to trudge into your local drug store after a long day of work to pick up a new box of tampons, only to be met by the teen male cashier’s beet-red cheeks at the checkout counter. LOLA is a subscription service delivering customized, organic, all-cotton feminine hygiene products straight to your door each month at an affordable price.
Not only does LOLA save you time, it also saves your body from tons of the hazardous chemicals (um, ew) found in ordinary tampons and pads. It’s no wonder that this refreshingly natural company has gained attention by the likes of Karlie Kloss and Tiffany Wang . This elegant box (have you seen these chic #LolaShelfies?) is taking over the bathrooms of women and girls across the United States who care about their bodies and support brands with integrity. And, it won’t be hard to realize why you should join them.
Here are just a few of the ways LOLA is changing the game and disrupting a $15 billion industry:
1) Ignorance is NOT Bliss!
If you care about the ingredients in everything from your food to your makeup, shouldn’t you know what’s inside of your tampons and pads? Believe it or not, the FDA has no regulations regarding the disclosure of ingredients in feminine care products. That means that big tampon companies use artificial fibers including polyester and rayon in their tampons without telling you. As if that isn’t scary enough, there have been absolutely no studies conducted on the long-term effects of using these products and the exposure to these artificial fibers. LOLA products are made with just one simple, organic product that is safe for your body, so you can feel comfortable using it: cotton (completely free of dyes and toxins).
2) Convenience & Customization
LOLA makes it simple to ensure that exactly the products you need for the month are delivered as frequently as you request. Start by choosing from their variety of cotton products including tampons, pads, and liners. Then, *drumroll please*, select exactly the assortment of protection that you need by choosing exactly how many light, regular or super items you want in your order (told you LOLA was game-changing). Select the quantity of boxes and desired frequency of delivery and you’re all set. And, there’s no strings attached – you can skip, cancel, and adjust orders as you please!
3) Honest Products Doing Honest Good
LOLA makes it their mission to change periods for the better by providing menstrual products to women in need. On the inside of each box is printed an adorable mantra: “This too shall pass (and until it does, we’re here for you.” But, this is more than just a little pick-me-up to customers; LOLA really is there for women. In 2017, LOLA will donate 60,000 tampons to homeless shelters and recreation shelters across Columbus, OH to ensure all women have access to menstrual products. Feminine care products are an essential that are frequently requested, but rarely donated to shelters. LOLA is helping to supply women and girls with the products they need and has already donated over 100,000 feminine care products across the United States since their launch because #TamponsAreNotALuxury.
