Is it okay if my period is light?
May 11, 2022

Is it okay if my period is light?

Yes, it is okay!
Light periods may not be a sign that you have something to worry about. Even a period as short as two to three days is considered normal.

August is absorbent, affordable, and values-aligned

I’ve been using August for about a year, and I’m really happy with the quality of the products and the sustainability + ethics of the company! I’ve tried at least 3 different organic cotton brands and these have the best absorbency, consistency, and affordability. I also love that they continue to work to make their products even more sustainable and accessible. Their new packaging seems to be more durable and less wasteful, and it’s easy to tell the products apart at a glance.

Super Cute

I love it!!! If I'm going anywhere and I'm on my period U put my pads in it. Or If I'm not on my period I will use it as a make up bag. It's big enough to put a good amount of pads and other products in it. Its soft too. I took it to the beach the other weekend and the water and sand did not ruin it at all. It is also very easy to keep clean.

Great for light flow days- PCOS spotting

I have PCOS and an unpredictable “system.” Regular tampons are too much when I need something other than a pad or just don’t want the over stimulation of having something extra in my undies, the light tampons are PERFECT.

It’s great!

I’ve used August pads and tampons for over a year now. I originally used Always but I kept getting irritation and it threw off my ph like crazy from the perfume and whatever they use in those. Since switching, I don’t have that problem anymore. The pads hold up very well when having a heavy flow, and are comfortable! Same for the tampons, I can use them and not worry about leaks or irritation. I like how they are biodegradable, my pads shouldn’t last a life time after me in the landfill.

Great Product

My 11 year old heard about this product from her friends at school and insisted we give them a try. And now we're here to stay! These are just the right size for her and perfect absorbency. She's not had a problem with overflows or leaks! And we both love the fact that they are odorless, unlike most items you buy in the stores!

Durable and Soft – August Nailed It

We had the chance to try out August’s full lineup—tampons, pads, panty liners, and even their bags—and we absolutely loved them! The quality stood out right away. Each product is durable yet incredibly soft, which is such a rare combination to find. They’re comfortable, reliable, and thoughtfully designed, making that time of the month a whole lot easier. We’re genuinely impressed and so grateful for these products—definitely a new favorite in our household!

Love the products

I absolutely love this brand & their products! I’ve been using both tampons and pads and they are great. No leakage, they are comfy and soft. I love the packaging and the improvements made on the tampons. The August team is also responsive & helpful. I’d give them more than 5 stars if I could.

1000% worth the hype

I never was too picky when it came to my feminine products but omg how that has changed. I don’t want anything but August now. They don’t even feel like you’re wearing a pad. My sister tried them and said they feel like the softest underwear that she forgot she had it on. We are now August girlies for life!

What are you doing buying anything else?

I don’t want to buy anything from anywhere else! I’ve been getting August pads for about 3 years and it’s the best pads ever. I love the compostable wrappers and that it’s 100% cotton.

Overnight (Long Night) Pads
Emma
Buy them!!!!

These pads are amazing. I was a little hesitant at first because I have tried all cotton pads before and the were bulky, fell apart, and just plain uncomfortable. The first thing I noticed when I opened them was how thin they were. They are super sticky and the most comfortable pad ever. Since they are all cotton they don't make noise. You aren't squishing around in a diaper. I tell all my girlfriends about them. Highly recommend!!!!

Another amazing buy

Got this for a cousin who joined the August crew. It comes in handy and very easy to travel with!

Super (Night) Pads

I really love these pads!! They’re very comfortable and have good absorbency while still being thin. My only con is that the adhesive could be a bit stickier on the wings.

Best period products I’ve ever tried!

I’ve only ever used the popular pad/tampon brands and always hated them. They’re expensive, uncomfortable, and don’t work like they should. August is the same price or even cheaper and sooo much better. Truly incomparable. Comfortable, absorbent, and non toxic. I joined the subscription and will never go back! Every product is amazing!
