Hi, I’m Sue.

A few years ago, I spent a weekend convinced I had developed a skin condition. The rash was back — again — and I’d already tried three different “sensitive skin” disposable pads. Nothing helped.

Then a friend asked me a question nobody had before: “Have you looked at what’s actually in those pads?”

I did. Polypropylene. Synthetic fragrances. Plastic-based layers sitting against skin for hours at a time. The rash wasn’t a skin problem. It was a material problem.

I found my way to bamboo terry — soft, breathable, nothing synthetic touching skin — and the rash disappeared within one cycle. Not reduced. Gone.

That’s how Topsy Daisy started. Not with a business plan. With relief.

What We Are (and What We’re Not)

Topsy Daisy is a small team, not a corporation. Our reusable pads and panty liners are for periods and for incontinence. The layer that touches you is soft bamboo terry — no plastic against your skin. Underneath, an absorbent core and a waterproof backing do the heavy lifting. Nothing that should be making you itch.

We’re not here to lecture anyone about landfills. If sustainability matters to you, that’s a bonus. But most women find us because something isn’t right, and they want it fixed.

One Last Thing

I started Topsy Daisy because I was tired of a problem nobody was naming. If you’re dealing with rashes, irritation, or discomfort and you’ve tried everything — you probably haven’t tried the right material yet.

Browse our pads and see what feels right. Or just reply to any email — it comes straight to me.
