Our story.

Building a world designed for women to thrive

Riley began with a simple question: why are women still using period products filled with chemicals?

When co-founders Fiona and Áine discovered the hidden toxins inside mainstream products, they felt compelled to build something better: period care that genuinely puts women’s health first. In 2021, Riley launched with 100% certified organic cotton products designed around women’s health, comfort, and confidence.

What started as a fight against harmful toxins, has evolved into a movement for female empowerment. We’re bringing high-performing period care into homes, workplaces, schools, and hotels across the world, making menstrual wellbeing impossible to ignore.

We believe that period care isn’t a luxury. It’s a basic need and should be in every bathroom, everywhere, just like toilet paper.

How it all began.

Riley was born

It started in a small garage in West Cork. Two friends who believed period care could be so much better. That belief became Riley.

Expanding into workplaces

We realised that there was a major gap in public spaces, especially workplaces. So we launched our B2B side of the business and now serve over 500 workplaces globally.

Building momentum

Riley was named 'Startup of the Year' at the Image.ie PWC Women in Business Awards. We also launched into Meaghers Pharmacy and selected Dunnes Stores and featured in British Vogue. Busy year!

New look, new feel

At four years old, we felt a re-brand was needed to reflect the growth of the brand and business.

Proudly the first B Corp period care brand in Ireland

As a B Corp, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet incredibly high standards of social and environmental impact. It means we’re officially recognised for doing business the right way; by putting people and our planet first It means we’re serious about doing business the right way.

Retail expansion

We're on a mission to make better period care accessible wherever and whenever you need it, and we've just taken a pretty big step forward.

You can now find Riley on shelves at: WHSmith, Holland & Barrett and John Bell & Croyden
