About Us
In the Beginning.
So...22 Fibroids later...I jumped. 10 years of fibroid management left me with no other choice but to help other women who were like me; heavy bleeders who needed menstrual pads that were designed for comfort, security, sleekness and not diaper like. Hence the BUP SmartPad. Coming soon.
And then...
After grad school, I traveled abroad to Africa, Europe, Middle East and India. And then came home in 2017, and was a resident at both 1776 and Futureworks incubators in Brooklyn, NY. And then joined forces with period equity efforts, and then pitched and won the 2018
"I'm gon' learn today!"
BUPeriod is currently a fellow at Brooklyn Fashion Design Accelerator, a sustainable focused co-working space for Pratt Fellows, startups and small business who are all in alignment with the triple bottom line of smart fashion, eco-friendly, and innovation towards zero waste. As a P.B.C., we aim for B-Corp status.
Let's Build Together
MY BODY IS MY GEM CAMPAIGN is more than just merchandise it is your opportunity to support, not only BUP R & D FUBU efforts, but 5 - 10% will go towards non-profit organizations who are leading the fight for menstrual health equity as well as young girls who miss school due to lack of menstrual hygiene management.
Non-profit partner announcement coming soon!

What types of food can affect my period?
Great News! I was able to eliminate ALL CRAMPING, BLOATING and NAUSEA just by reducing salt, sugar and dairy from my diet. In addition, I practiced the Blood Type Diet. Ask your nutritionist if you suffer from the above with your period what diet lifestyle changes may be good for you.

How can stress affect my period?
Our uterus "IVY" has enough pressure and stress shedding her menstrual cycle. Self Care and stress reduction the week prior to your cycle would make "IVY" a very happy camper. Not cramper.
FYI...Warm herbal teas such as chamomile and/or red leaf raspberry has a calming effect during your cycle. Ask your local natural food store for additional insight.
Stay tuned for BUPeriod's pocket and/or pocketbook full of joy to get you smiling and affirming!
Can too much beauty affect my period?
For those of us who have symptoms of uterine fibroids or any other reproductive disease, beauty products may have chemicals that can have an affect on our hormones.
FYI...I fully removed myself from beauty products that had ingredients I could not pronounce. Ultimately I ended up only using natural oils, vegan shampoo and Shea butters.
