She’s a woman who gets her period once a month and deals with stress incontinence. In August 2015, after helping her daughter navigate the ups-and-downs of “Aunt Flo,” “the crimson wave” or whatever euphemism kids are calling periods these days, Crystal decided enough was enough. “When it was time to help my daughter navigate her first period, I was really disappointed with the options to provide her: uncomfortable, bulky pads that can leak, or tampons that can be intimidating for a young girl to use. Neither choice was a good one, which was why I decided to take action and develop period-proof apparel that every woman can feel comfortable and confident using.” What They Do Ruby Love. is a femtech company that supports women living their best lives, even while on their period. Originating from a desire to help her daughter navigate her first period and being disappointed with the existing options, Crystal Etienne spent years testing prototypes to get the right design, materials, and technology while using it herself, alongside friends and family as product testers. The result, period-proof underwear and apparel that would never stop women from doing, being and going.
