Relief is an innovative apparel brand normalising periods – functional, beautiful and eco-positive.
What Set Us Apart
Design-driven
Founded by lingerie designer who understands the craft, Relief collaborates with engineers and garment technicians to perfect the fit and functionality of our products. This commitment to innovation ensures that each piece is uniquely designed for Relief and not available anywhere else
Safety
Our products went through vigorous tests with third party lab and are 100% free of PFAS and other hazardous chemicals.
Industrial standard
Our material sourcing and product development are supported from leading manufacturers from day one and have maintained a high technical and ethical standard.
Transparency
We admire brands like Everlane and for being transparent about their manufacturers' information, and we are inspired to do the same.
Our SDGS Commitment
Gender Equality
Our period underwear empowers women, combining comfort and sustainability, and through ethical production and partnerships with women's rights organizations, we're creating positive change. Join us in championing gender equality-one confident step at a time.
Responsible Cities & Communities
Through community engagement, we run workshops to empower people with more sustainable period solutions. Together, we're creating vibrant, inclusive cities that enhance the well-being of all residents and protect the planet for future generations.
Why We Care
We believe everyone has a role to play in making a difference—it’s not just up to governments, NGOs, or big corporations. That’s why we vibe with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Saving the planet, sparking cool ideas, and keeping things fair and square—because that’s the kind of future we’re all about!
Our Sustainability Practise
Circular Design
Each pair of our products is ethically sourced and can replace 100-200 disposable sanitary items, lasting you a solid 2-3 years. We’re all about making choices that matter, and instead of following the trend of planned obsolescence, we’re here to offer you something that truly lasts.
Product Carbon Footprint
We are crunching data to calculate the carbon footprint of each of our products. It's a complex process, but we're committed to getting it right. By mid-2025, we'll be ready to share these details with you. We believe in transparency, and we want you to know exactly what impact your purchase has on our planet.
Take Back Program
For every 5 pieces of Relief leak-proof you recycle, we’ll gift you a brand new pair as a thank you for your commitment to sustainability.
It’s our way of encouraging a circular economy and reducing waste while ensuring you stay comfortable and confident during your cycle.
Our Packaging Could Use A Little Love
Let's be honest - most of our current packagings looks a bit basic, because we used corn starch materials to ensure they are lighter to transport and fully compostable when it’s time to say goodbye.
If you’ve got suggestions or creative thoughts on how we can improve, we’d love to hear from you!
