Hi!
Welcome to Fri Period LLC, an American company offering sustainable and innovative period products.
We launched in 2023 with the mission to make periods better for everyone, including the planet. We call this the The Fridom Movement.
Fri Period was born in Tokyo
Nina and Amy met in 2020 in Japan, where they were both living at the time.
They bonded over a love of adventure, a mutual commitment to sustainability, and the desire to give their daughters better options for managing their periods than they had growing up.
Fast forward three years and they both lived in Houston with their families. With houses swamped with fabric swatches and prototypes, they grew the team and Fri Period was officially launched in September 2023.
We wanted better
We started Fri Period because we loved the idea of period underwear but were dissatisfied with the lack of supply chain transparency and the presence of potentially harmful chemicals found in some of our favorite brands.
We loved period underwear but hated how often the gusset would looked stained and unattractive after a few months.
We wanted a product that was made in the US, was safe to use, and would last for years.
And so, Fri Period was born.
Meet the team
Nina, Founder
Nina has a background in business development and marketing for law firms, and a masters degree in human rights law. Ensuring Fri Period has an ethical and transparent supply chain with fair working conditions is extremely important to her.
When not throwing her heart and soul into Fri Period, Nina can be found at the beach or working on her next fiction novel.
Amy, Co-founder
Amy has a masters degree in zoology and her previous career was focused on conservation education. She loves that, through Fri Period, she's making a positive impact on reducing the nearly 20 billion single-use period products that end up on landfill each year in the US alone.
When she's not working on Fri Period, Amy can be found playing with her miniature dachshunds and planning her next Disney trip.
Laurie, Co-founder
Laurie is Fri Period’s numbers lady. With an MBA and many years’ experience advising companies on their financial and organizational strategies, she plays an important role in the sustainable growth of Fri Period. Laurie is passionate about helping small businesses, and has her own consultancy business doing just that.
When Laurie isn’t contributing to the growth of young companies, she enjoys keeping active and planning breaks in the mountains of Alaska, where she used to live.
