Hello. We're Blood.
Our purpose is to revolutionize periods.
Who are we
Blood is a challenger brand in the period care space. We exist to challenge taboos, push boundaries, and empower people with periods to bleed unapologetically. Our focus on deeply understanding our users drives our innovation in creating products that are both high performing, and better for their bodies and skin.
Blood is the creator of the world's first Sanitary Pad made from Corn, and is the parent brand of MenstruHeat (menstrual cramp relief).
We're scaling fast across Southeast Asia with our core markets in Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia, selling online and across more than 7,000 retail stores - making more than 12 million periods better so far.
Today was good. Tomorrow will bleed better.
