Real Women, Real Missions: HER KIT Field-Test Stories from the Frontlines

Designing HER KIT wasn’t just about function—it was about listening. We handed our early kits to women on the frontlines: soldiers in field training, thru-hikers trekking the Pacific Crest Trail, EMTs on 12-hour shifts, and moms who simply refuse to be slowed down.

What came back? Stories of surprise, relief, and total game-changers. One Marine told us, “I didn’t think I’d ever feel prepared for my period in the field—until now.” A wildland firefighter raved about how the compact design let her carry what she needed without adding bulk. A nurse on the night shift said it helped her finally ditch the stress of leaking at work.

These women didn’t just use HER KIT—they relied on it. And it delivered.
