Hey everyone! Thanks so much for visiting my website. I’ve always been passionate about entrepreneurship and creating something that makes a real difference. The idea for Coochie Berry started with something simple: I’ve always been the friend who talks openly about my period. Sharing experiences, laughing through the tough moments, and having real conversations with other women has always felt natural to me.
One day, while listening to a podcast about a men’s brand offering affordable, accessible razors, something clicked—why don’t we have more accessible, wellness-focused essentials for women? That question stayed with me. I wanted to build a business that reflected my values, supported other women, and addressed real needs that often get overlooked.
As I began researching, I learned about period poverty—an issue I wasn’t exposed to growing up because I was fortunate to have so much support at home. Whenever I had cramps, my mom made sure I had everything I needed, and my dad never made me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable talking about my period. He would check in, ask how I was feeling, and treat it as completely normal. Because of that, periods were never a taboo in my house. I grew up confident talking about my menstrual cycle, and I’ve always shared openly with other women too.
It wasn’t until later that I realized many women don’t have that same level of care, comfort, or even access to basic hygiene products. It genuinely breaks my heart to think about someone going through the pain and discomfort of their period without the products they need to stay clean and supported. No one should have to choose between essential hygiene and other basic needs.
I was lucky enough to be part of a volunteer group in my local community, and that experience taught me something important: if you have the capacity to help others, you should use it to make a difference. That belief is at the core of Coochie Berry and the reason I created The Coochie Care Project. Along with our Buy One, Give One program, we also run the Care for Every Coochie initiative on the website, where people can donate period products whenever we have a booth set up in the community. It’s a simple way for all of us to come together and support women who need it most.
My mission with Coochie Berry is to help women feel more confident, comfortable, and empowered during their cycles—and yes, even look forward to their periods. Having the right products truly changes the experience. That’s why, for every pair purchased, I donate one to a woman in need. Together, we can support dignity, access, and confidence for women everywhere.
Coochie Berry is committed to continuing to connect, listen, learn, and grow our impact as we support more women in our community and beyond.
Thanks for reading, and here’s to great periods ahead!
xoxo,
Vanessa
