Description

“Oh my god, that’s my purpose in life, is to change the way the world periods.” This was a lightbulb moment for Karla Welch, CEO & Co-Founder of The Period Company.
Famously known for being a celebrity fashion stylist, Karla isn’t one who shies away from breaking the mold. As a social justice advocate, Karla has used her social media platform to raise awareness about social issues. Her brand x Karla also raises money for social causes through collaborations.
So when her child got their first period at ten years old, Karla immediately rethought how we period. As a stylist and creator of her own line of t-shirts, Karla knew that she had to make period underwear. With that, The Period Company was born. The Period Company is dedicated to the quest of ending period poverty for all.
