Herplum: Reclaiming Menstrual Wellness Through Gentle, Grounded Care
In a world where women's bodies are often rushed, dismissed, or chemically managed, I find it powerful, even revolutionary when someone takes a quiet stand for healing.
That’s why I want to take a moment to highlight a brand doing just that: Herplum.
I recently had the chance to meet with the founder, and I walked away deeply moved by both her story and her mission. Herplum offers non-toxic, reusable menstrual pads but beyond the product, there’s a much bigger heart behind what she’s building.
What she’s really offering is permission to slow down, to listen to the body, and to choose softness over suffering.
🌿 Healing, Naturally
After years of personal pain and frustration with conventional period products, she switched to 100% natural materials, and something unexpected happened:
Her fibroids began to shrink.
No hormones.
No surgeries.
Just listening to her body and honoring it with cleaner choices.
Her story is not only inspiring, it’s hopeful. And it's a reminder that healing can sometimes begin with the most practical, intimate shifts.
✨ Why This Matters to Me
As a birth and fertility guide, I sit with women every day who are navigating painful cycles, hormonal imbalances, and reproductive health struggles. We talk about ovulation, endometriosis, PCOS, fertility plans… but also about grief, exhaustion, and hope.
And what I know is this:
What we put near our womb matters.
Our bodies are wise. They are sensitive. And they are always talking to us even through something as routine as a menstrual pad.
Herplum + Community Healing
To me, Herplum isn’t just a product brand — it’s part of a movement toward community-rooted care.
It’s about reclaiming the cycle as sacred
It’s about breaking generational patterns of suffering
It’s about offering Black women and women of color safe, affirming choices
This is the kind of healing I believe in. The kind that starts small and ripples outward.
If you’re looking for a gentle, toxin-free option for your cycle, I highly recommend exploring what Herplum offers. I believe these pads could be a meaningful part of your wellness journey, especially if you’ve struggled with fibroids, irritation, or feel disconnected from your body during your cycle.
To the founder: thank you for being a light in this space. I’m cheering for you, and I believe in what you’re doing.
And to my community: healing is possible. Sometimes it starts with the smallest shift and the softest material.
With care,
