Tricia was founded by Florence Igboayaka, a social entrepreneur who personally experienced the challenges of living with fibroids and enduring heavy periods, even after surgery. In her quest for highly absorbent and discreet period products, she discovered that many existing options did not adequately address the needs of women with very heavy flows or conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and fibroids. Despite residing in the UK, Florence often had to rely on foreign products. Through her research, she learned that many other women, particularly those of African descent, faced similar struggles. This inspired her to create Tricia.

For over a decade, Florence has been an active advocate against period poverty and stigma in the UK. Her bestselling book, The Period Comic, has educated over 300,000 young girls about menstruation in an engaging and stigma-free way. Tricia specializes in products for women with very heavy periods and offers curated first period kits that are safe for young girls, helping them transition smoothly into puberty. Our mission at Tricia is to ensure women feel comfortable, free, and confident during their periods. Tricia products are hygienic, safe, and environmentally friendly.

We believe that women are unstoppable, and bloody periods can’t change that! For every two dozen products sold, we donate one pack to help combat period poverty.
