Five Black-Owned Feminine Care Products You Should Try

The beloved brand Honey Pot sold out largely thanks to the support of Black women. Here's a few other feminine hygiene products created by Black women that your "gina" will love.
The Honey Pot And Five Other Black-Owned Feminine Care Products To Buy
By Jasmine Grant · Updated December 6, 2020

For the past week, the popular plant-based feminine care brand, The Honey Pot, has been flying off the shelves. Their recent surge in sales stems from a Target ad starring co-founder Beatrice Dixon that had racist white women all in their feelings, but the silver lining is that so many women have been put on to a Black-owned feminine care brand they otherwise hadn’t tried yet.

Thanks to the overwhelming support of our brand, we’re running low on inventory and expect popular products to be out of stock for 1-2 weeks. We appreciate your support and patience as we work to get your favorites back in stock! 😘 💋⁣ ⁣ Thank you!!!

A post shared by The Honey Pot Company (@thehoneypotco) on Mar 5, 2020 at 6:00pm PST

In case you weren’t aware, Ms. Dixon is not the only Black woman out here on a mission to keep vaginas clean, healthy and happy. Here are five other feminine care products owned by Black women that your “gina” would love.

01
Ruby Love
Founded by Crystal Etienne in 2015 and formerly known as PantyProp, Ruby Love is an apparel company rooted in the belief that periods should never stop women from doing, being and going. The company offers everything you’ll need for that time of the month, from double-sided pads and leak-proof swimsuits to “first period kits” for teens.
