About Ugly Pants:
Ugly Pants isn't just a brand – it's a beacon of advocacy and support in the realm of women's health. Born from a deeply personal journey, our founder's 20 plus years to get diagnosed with two chronic women's health conditions sparked a mission to revolutionise the way we perceive and manage menstruation. The Ugly Pants team have over 100 years of combined experience in product development within the fashion industry. Together they believe they understand what a woman truly wants from her period pants. We created this product to make life easier and to make it flow better.
We've made it our purpose to educate, uplift, and support women through comfortable, ultra-feminine, and eco-friendly period wear.
Why We Exist:
We refuse to accept the status quo that tells women to endure pain, exhaustion, and other debilitating symptoms as merely a part of "being a woman." With conditions like endometriosis and PCOS often taking over a decade to diagnose, we recognize the urgent need for education, support, and accessible resources for women navigating their health journeys.
Sustainability Pillars:
At Ugly Pants, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We're dedicated to making a positive impact on the planet and the communities we serve. Our commitment to sustainability is reflected in three key pillars:
1. Economic Sustainability:
We believe in supporting local economies and creating meaningful job opportunities. That's why we proudly produce our products in the UK. By manufacturing locally, we not only reduce our carbon footprint but also contribute to the growth and vitality of our community. Every pair of Ugly Pants you purchase directly supports local businesses and helps sustain livelihoods in our area.
2. Environmental Sustainability:
Protecting the environment is paramount to us. Our dedication to environmental sustainability is evident in our choice of materials. Our products are made from 99% upcycled fabrics, minimising waste and reducing the demand for new resources. We're committed to continuously improving our manufacturing processes to minimise our environmental footprint further. From sourcing materials to packaging and shipping, we strive to minimise waste and maximise sustainability at every step of the production process.
3. Social Sustainability:
We believe that knowledge is power, especially when it comes to women's health. Our goal is to inspire women to take charge of their health and well-being by providing access to valuable resources and information. Through educational initiatives and community outreach programs, we aim to raise awareness about women's health issues and promote informed decision-making. By fostering a supportive and inclusive community, we're helping women everywhere educate themselves and advocate for their health needs.
Together, these sustainability pillars form the foundation of our commitment to creating a better, more sustainable future for generations to come. At Ugly Pants, we're not just about making stylish and comfortable period wear – we're also about making a positive impact on the world.
Join the Movement:
With Ugly Pants, we're redefining what it means to experience menstruation. No more feeling ashamed or diminished by our bodies' natural functions. Instead, we celebrate the beauty and power of femininity, one comfortable and stylish pair of period pants at a time. Join us in our mission to create a world where women feel supported, confident, and beautiful – even during their time of the month.
Together, let's make periods pretty and pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future in women's health.
Stay Gorgeous,
The Ugly Pants Team
