Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

Meet Pinkie

Today I’m excited about a brand that is supporting young girls in a big way!

Introducing you to the revolutionary tween period care brand, Pinkie. Founded in 2022 by co-founders and mothers, Fiona Simmonds and Sana Clegg, Pinkie is addressing a gap in the period product market for period pads perfectly-sized smaller for tweens and teens using organic, plant-based, and hypoallergenic materials without toxins and dyes.

Pinkie is the first teen organic period pad on US shelves, featuring a slip-out baggie with a fun design and a drawstring in place of the conventional crinkly wrapper. These baggies were intentionally created to eliminate noise when handling the pad, giving girls the agency to own the period experience in their own way. This also eliminates extra toilet paper waste, and allows for a seamless disposing experience. Pinkie is the #1 best-selling teen organic period pad on Amazon and is available in Walmarts, Targets and CVS’ nationwide.

The average age of a girl’s first period is 12 years old (11.9 years to be exact) — down from the previous 14 year old average age. Girls can get their first period as young as 8 years old and there is nothing on the market that meets their needs for sizing, safe materials, and a brand identity that speaks to them.

If your girl is approaching the tween years or already a tween/teen, Pinkie is a great brand for her! This age has big changes, and it’s so important to make those changes as smooth as possible as we support our girls entering the next phase.

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
