ABOUT US

PERIOD WEAR FOR PERFORMANCE

 

Here at Iceni, we are committed to removing barriers for women and girls in sport, empowering them to feel their most confident, be it on the pitch, at the gym, or just on a rest day.

When co-founders Francesca Hansen and Vanessa Smith compared their experiences with those of their daughters, they realised that there was still no active solution to the challenges that female athletes face in sport.

We believe that girls and women deserve to train and compete with no distractions; as we grow our community, we are dedicated to finding solutions to ensure that they can focus on their performance.

Periods should not be a barrier or a deterrent for females in sport.

 

BEHIND THE NAME

 

The Iceni were a formidable ancient Celtic tribe led by the flame haired firebrand Queen Boudicca. After the Romans seized control of her lands, she inspired her people to rebel against the mighty force of the Roman Empire leading them to victory on numerous occasions. A true embodiment of girl power!
Boudicca's formidable strength, resilience and leadership embody the values of our brand and are the traits that we hope to inspire in all young girls and women.
After lots of hard work we are proud to introduce you to Iceni Silver. Iceni, the name of a proud tribe led by the true Warrior Queen, Boudicca.  She was a woman who fought for her daughters and people, letting nothing hold her back.
We are women, we are warriors, we are Iceni!

WHY TRUST ICENI OVER OTHER BRANDS?

Period pants and underwear are often made from multiple layers or absorbent and waterproof material to protect from leaks onto clothes, however, Iceni period wear goes one step further and is the only British period-wear manufacturer using anti-microbial SILVADUR™ technology. All products are manufactured in the UK, so as well as saving money on disposable period products, you're also helping to save the environment!

 

SILVADUR™ safely minimises any microbes that could cause odour or material degradation, effectively controlling bacteria, leaving you smelling fresh all day.

 

Our period pants hold up to 40ml of flow - equivalent to 8-12 tampons - which is double the capacity of other brands on the market.

 

Each style has been designed and tailored specifically with active lifestyles in mind. Whether you're playing sports or working long shifts, we guarantee that our period underwear will keep you feeling fresh, comfortable and confident all day.

 

And in case that's not enough to convince you, Icon's range of period pants are used and trusted by some of the UK's leading athletes, including Rugby Player and TV Presenter Rachael Burford, England Cricket Player Lydia Greenwood and QPR Football Captain Hayley Peacock. We are also the proud partners of Vitality Superleague Netball Club, London Pulse, as well as England Rugby League and The Blaze.
