Madeleine and Suzanne's Story

In 1993, a young fashion designer named Madeleine Shaw created a small collection of colourful and reusable cloth menstrual pads. Though initially inspired by an allergy to tampons, her experience awakened an eco-feminist desire to reconnect women with their monthly cycles and to run a business that celebrated womanhood. A few years later, Madeleine met chartered accountant Suzanne Siemens who was looking for more meaningful work as a woman in finance. They were a perfect professional match and incorporated Lunapads in 2000.
