Lil-Lets is there for you, for every one of life's periods. We believe that you should be able to choose what works for you, and that education is key to understanding your body so that you can make the right period product choices for you.
To explain where we are today, we have to rewind a little, back to the 1950s, in fact.
In 1954 gynaecologist Dr. Judith Esser-Mittag was the first woman to design a tampon. Her careful research and innovative thinking created a tampon designed to fit the female anatomy perfectly. Her revolutionary widthways expanding design remains the hallmark of Lil-Lets tampons.
Since then, we've been passionate about understanding women's* bodies better and have listened and learnt from you. We go through so many changes in our lives, from first periods through to menopause.
It's amazing what our bodies can do. We know that one size doesn't fit all, which is why our wide range of product are designed to fit your individual intimate care needs, life choices and life stages.
We've put 60 years of knowledge into our product designs, but that means nothing unless we help you understand your body needs better. That's why we think education and expert advice is fundamental in helping you navigate every one of life's periods, comfortably and confidently, so you can choose what works for you.
From first periods to menopause, search our Lil-Lets Blog Hub for answers to any of your questions.
When you understand more about your body, the easier it is to make empowered choices about what works for you.
Committed to the well-being and support of communities, we proudly stand beside our charitable partners. Through collaboration with these incredible charities, Lil-Lets is committed to promoting overall wellness by ensuring accessibility to essential products and education. Our commitment extends beyond the focus on period equality, emphasizing a holistic approach to well-being and empowerment. By fostering a sense of community and understanding, our goal is to create a meaningful impact through support.
*Across our website we use words like 'women', 'girl', and 'female' but we believe language shouldn't be a barrier and we understand that periods aren't just for women and that not all women have periods. We want to enable people to be themselves and to choose what works for them. We believe everyone who experiences menstruation has a right to the products and information they need, without shame or stigma.
Lil‑Lets is a modern period‑care brand designed for real life, supporting you through every stage of your menstrual cycle, from your first period to pregnancy, post‑birth, perimenopause, and menopause. With decades of experience, we focus on creating period products that actually fit your body, your flow, and your lifestyle.
We believe in comfort, confidence, and choice. That’s why our range includes tampons, pads, menstrual cups, maternity products, and menopause‑friendly essentials, all designed to help you feel in control of your period with products that move with you, not against you.
Yes! Lil Lets supports people with heavy periods by combining real understanding of hormonal changes with products designed to handle a heavier flow. We know heavy bleeding can happen at different life stages, from your early cycle years, right through to the hormonal shifts before perimenopause and it can seriously affect your comfort and confidence.
That’s why we created our Lil Lets Extra Protection Range, a collection specifically designed for extremely heavy periods. These products offer higher absorbency, longer lasting protection, and a more secure fit, giving you the confidence to live your life without constantly worrying about leaks. We also provide clear, accessible education and product guidance to help you understand what’s normal, what to expect, and which products might work best for your body and flow.
Yes! Lil Lets supports people through perimenopause including period pain and all the changes that come with this stage of life. We know the perimenopause can feel just as confusing as puberty, with symptoms that seem to appear out of nowhere and cycles that don’t behave the way they used to. That’s exactly why we’ve created a dedicated section on our website with guidance, expert backed information, and practical tips on what to expect during this transition.
Our aim is to help you understand your changing hormones, manage period pain more comfortably, and choose the right products for your flow and lifestyle; from pads and tampons to menopause friendly essentials designed for heavier or irregular bleeding.
Lil Lets period and personal care products are all about choice, and we know many people want products that feel comfortable while also aligning with their personal values, which is why we created our Lil Lets Organic pads and tampons and our Lil Lets Cottons cotton wool products. Using 100% cotton you can choose what feels best for your body without compromising on protection or performance.
