Thank You: A Letter of Gratitude from Scarlet by RedDrop

This holiday season, as we pause to reflect on what we’re most grateful for, one thing stands out above everything else: you. To every girl who trusted us with her period care journey. To every mom who chose Scarlet by RedDrop for her daughter. To every family member who searched for products that actually fit growing bodies. Thank you. Your trust in our mission means everything to us. Our Gratitude Runs Deep We are so incredibly thankful to be part of your period care story. When our co-founders, Dana Roberts and Dr. Monica Williams, started this journey in a fifth-grade classroom, they had one simple but powerful vision: girls deserve period products designed for their actual bodies, not just smaller versions of adult products. Girls deserve education that empowers rather than embarrasses. Girls deserve to feel supported, prepared, and confident during every stage of their period journey. That vision became Scarlet by RedDrop, and you made it real by welcoming us into your homes, your schools, and your lives. Thank You for Believing in Our Mission We’re thankful that we’ve been able to teach tween and teen girls, along with their parents, guardians, and community members, about period care, period wellness, and period health in ways that feel empowering rather than intimidating. Through our online courses, educational books, Period Prep Class 101, and daily conversations on social media, we’ve built a community that believes periods deserve open, honest, shame-free discussion. Every time you share our content, every time you have brave conversations with your daughters, every time you normalize periods in your households and schools, you’re extending our founders’ mission further than we ever could alone. Thank You to Our Partners Who Make This Possible We’re deeply grateful to our retail partners who believed that tween and teen girls deserved their own space in the period care aisle. Thank you to Ulta Beauty for recognizing that period care belongs wherever girls shop for self-care and confidence. Your partnership has brought Scarlet by RedDrop to girls across the country who needed to see products made specifically for them. To School Nurse Supply and School Health, thank you for helping us reach school nurses and health professionals who are often the first trusted adults girls turn to during period emergencies. Your commitment to supporting student health makes it possible for us to be there when girls need us most. Thank You to the Educators and Advocates To every school nurse who stocks Scarlet products and provides period education with compassion and expertise: you are changing lives. To every teacher who normalizes period care and creates classroom environments where girls feel safe asking for help: you matter more than you know. To every counselor, administrator, and school staff member who advocates for period equity and access: thank you for seeing this as the health issue it truly is. You are the frontline of period care support, and we are honored to provide you with tools and products that help you serve your students better. Thank You to Our Investors and Supporters We remain strong and continue growing because of the individuals and organizations who believed in our mission before we had proof of concept, who supported us through challenges, and who continue investing in a future where every girl has access to age-appropriate period care. From Pharrell’s Black Ambition, which awarded us their Grand Prize, to Ulta Beauty’s Muse Accelerator, which provided guidance and support, to The Fifteen Percent Pledge and every pitch competition that gave us a platform to share our story: thank you for recognizing that girls’ period health matters and deserves innovation, investment, and attention. Thank You to Every Single Customer Most importantly, thank you to each and every person who has purchased Scarlet by RedDrop products. Every Code Red Kit in a locker. Every package of pads designed for smaller bodies. Every box of tampons made for first-time users. Every menstrual cup chosen for sustainability and freedom. Every educational book read together. Every period conversation started because of resources we provided. You are the reason we exist. You are the reason we keep innovating, educating, and advocating. You are the reason our founders’ vision has grown from classroom period kits to a nationwide movement changing how we talk about and care for tween and teen periods. Our Commitment to You As we reflect on gratitude this Thanksgiving, we also recommit ourselves to the standards that have guided us from the beginning: We will always design period products specifically for tween and teen bodies, never asking girls to make do with products that don’t fit. We will continue providing education that empowers girls and their families to navigate periods with confidence and knowledge. We will keep showing up in schools, in stores, online, and wherever girls need support during their period journeys. We will never stop advocating for period equity, access, and the belief that every girl deserves quality period care regardless of her circumstances. We will remain a brand that girls trust and parents believe in because we put their needs first, always. Looking Forward with Gratitude This year has brought incredible milestones. We launched tampons designed specifically for first-time users. We introduced menstrual cups sized for younger bodies. We expanded into more Ulta Beauty locations nationwide. We reached more schools, more families, and more girls than ever before. None of this would be possible without you. Not the investors who funded us. Not the retailers who stock us. Not the schools who trust us. And especially not the families who choose us. You are our community, our motivation, and our greatest success story. Every time a girl feels confident during her period because she has products that actually work for her body, we’ve fulfilled our mission. Every time a mom feels relieved knowing her daughter is prepared and supported, we’ve honored the trust you placed in us. Every time a school nurse can provide a girl with appropriately sized emergency supplies, we’ve made the difference we set out to make. Thank You for Being Part of Our Story From our family to yours, from our founders to every member of the Scarlet by RedDrop team, from the bottom of our hearts: thank you. Thank you for choosing us. Thank you for trusting us. Thank you for believing that girls deserve better. Thank you for being part of a movement that’s changing how we talk about, teach about, and care for periods. This holiday season, we are most grateful for you. With love and appreciation, The Scarlet by RedDrop Family
