FRIENDS OF BOOBYDOO
Welcome to our friends of boobydoo page!
We are all here with one goal in mind, to help women and girls in sports get the recognition and support they need to thrive and excel. Take a look at these female empowered small businesses that are paving the way for women and girls in sports for all ages.
MyFreda
Affi was inspired to start Freda after realising refugee women didn't have access to period products. The more she looked into this, the more she realised that menstrual needs for women are often overlooked and that products are made with cheap unnecessary, chemicals. Freda creates natural and organic period products that are free from chemicals and a portion of every sale is donated to initiatives fighting against period poverty.

FabLittleBag takes away the awkwardness of disposing of your period products and gives you the reassurance that wherever you are, you will be able to dispose of your pad, tampon, applicator, and wrapper easily, securely, and hygienically.

Lacuna Sports
Cricket is becoming ever more popular with women and girls yet until now the clothing and kit has been exclusively designed for the male body. Founder Leigh Burns identified this gap in the market from experiences with her teenage daughter who didn't have the proper kit she needed to perform at the level she could. Lacuna Sports was launched in Spring of 2022 and creates performance-enabled cricket wear custom-designed for women's bodies.

Bounce Bras
Did you know 64% of girls quit sport by the age of 16?
Bounce was formed with changing that figure in mind. The Bounce Bra has been specially designed to grow and adapt with your body so that young girls feel supported and confident when playing sport, and encourage them to keep playing.

She originally created Nixi Body with women like her in mind but soon realised younger women could also use them for their periods. Kelly aims to end shame around periods and incontinence and give women the confidence to live their best life.
