We love these women-owned brands all year long
Although we here at Tinybeans spend most of our days celebrating the women that create this amazing community of moms, March is officially Women’s History Month! And what better place to kick it all off than by highlighting some of our favorite women-owned brands? Supporting these businesses puts funds directly into the hands of female entrepreneurs and allows them to continue pioneering the ever-growing landscape of women-owned brands. We know it won’t come as a surprise, but women face a level of challenges in business that their male counterparts traditionally don’t.
Being intentional about where we spend our money means researching the brands we’re buying from; we’ve done that part for you, though. These women-owned brands are offering some of our absolute must-have products and services that we love year round. Beauty, fashion, lifestyle, kitchen—there’s no shortage of incredible goodies

Saalt
Cherie Hoeger, Founder & CEO It started with a call Cherie had with an aunt in Venezuela, where pads and tampons hadn't been available in stores for years.

Months later, Cherie designed what she considered to be the ideal menstrual cup, and this idea turned into a line of period care, absorbent underwear, and more. Saalt is committed to donating 2% of their revenue to donate period care to regions with the most need, and help fund initiatives in menstrual health, education, and sustainability.
