How it all began...
Convenience, comfort and control is something every woman should feel each month, especially around their period. This was the reason why we started sending women tampons and pads in the post, and why we continue to search for new products and information that can make women's lives better.
Back then we were known as Sanitary Owl and it was just the two of us; packing boxes of tampons and pads from our living rooms. Today, we are DAME, and send all things period related, plus a little bit more, to thousands of women around the UK.
Giving back...
Our mission is to provide free sanitary products to every vulnerable woman in the UK. We’ve provided nearly 50,000 pads and help over 300 women on a regular basis. There’s much more to do.
