About Us

Meet The Maker

Hi, I’m Camille - the owner and creator behind Millie Essentials LLC. Every product in my shop is thoughtfully designed and handmade by me.

For most of my life, I’ve been passionate about finding more sustainable ways to live. About five years ago, I discovered reusable cloth menstrual pads and was amazed that something so simple, effective, and gentle on the body had never crossed my path before. That moment sparked a vision: a future where reusable products are the norm, not the exception.

Millie Essentials is my way of living in alignment with those values. I want to offer more than just reusable pads - I want to offer a path to reduced waste, reconnection with your body, and choices that feel good for both you and the Earth.

When I’m not sewing, designing, or packaging your orders, you’ll probably find me outside - working as a gardener or camping under the stars. I have a deep love for houseplants, astronomy, wild animals, and all things nature. I also crochet in my downtime and never say no to a cold Diet Dr Pepper.

Thank you for being here. I hope you feel the care in every stitch.

Flow Freely, Live Sustainably

At Millie Essentials, we believe caring for your body should go hand-in-hand with caring for the Earth. Whether you’re just starting your journey with reusables or you’ve been cloth-curious for years, you’re in the right place.

Let’s create a gentler, more sustainable world — together.

Our Packaging Promise

Caring for the planet doesn’t stop at the product — it extends to the packaging, too. That’s why we ship every order using mailers that are:

  • ♻️ 50% recycled
  • 🌍 Curbside recyclable
  • 🚫 Plastic-free
  • ✨ Thoughtfully designed in partnership with EcoEnclose

We pack every order with minimal waste and maximum care — because better cycles start with better choices, from first stitch to final seal.
