Our Mission

The Iris + Arlo offer is thoughtful products. Products that are healthy, practical, aesthetic and have a lower impact on the environment. We want to accompany people with menstruation at all stages, from menarche to menopause.

Ending Menstrual Poverty

Iris + Arlo fights against menstrual poverty by giving back products to people in need. Thanks to our strategic partnerships with organizations, we will distribute products to more than 70 organizations in Quebec in our first months of operation.

For our single-use products, we have chosen the most ecological materials possible to reduce their environmental impact.
