About Pinkie®
and how it all started
It all started with…
Our Founders
Pinkie, Inc. was dreamt up by our founders, Fiona Simmonds and Sana Clegg, two mothers of young daughters in New York City who realized there were no smaller-sized pads for tweens and teens starting their menstruating journeys. Every pad for teens was the same size as the adult pads! Pinkie was created to address this generation’s menstruators pain points: comfort, preparedness, empowerment, sustainability, community and transparency.
Our Mission
Pinkie is committed to unwavering period pride for all girls. We want to empower young girls to be proud of their period journey!

Why parents choose Pinkie for tweens & teens.
Pinkie creates period products specifically designed for tweens and teens navigating puberty and first periods. Unlike traditional menstrual products designed for adults, Pinkie pads and tampons are thoughtfully sized for younger bodies, helping girls feel more comfortable, confident, and prepared during school, sports, sleepovers, travel, and everyday life.
Pinkie products are made with 100% organic cotton topsheets and are free from dyes, fragrances, chlorine, and other unnecessary irritants commonly found in conventional period products. Our goal is simple: create safer, more comfortable period care products that help make puberty feel less stressful and more manageable for growing girls.
Today, Pinkie products are available online and in more than 5,000 retail stores nationwide, including Target, Walmart, CVS Pharmacy, Wegmans, HEB and on Amazon. Pinkie continues expanding access to puberty and menstrual care products made specifically for younger users.
