In case you didn’t know, March is Women’s History Month.
Over the past 100 years or so, women have come such a long way. We’ve seen tons of trailblazing, inspiring women over the years show us that there are no limits to what we can achieve.
Since the beginning of the 20th century, we’ve gained the right to vote, we’ve fought our way to the top in various workplaces, we’ve taken seats in political offices, and we’ve opened an endless number of businesses.
With that being said, Women’s History Month serves as the perfect opportunity to talk about women-owned businesses.
While March serves as a great reminder to discover new women-owned businesses, and support your favorite ones, it is important to remember that we need to support these businesses year-round. After all, for businesses to see success, they need to make year-round sales, right?
There are so many great things about women-owned businesses and the unique products they offer.
Plus, by supporting these businesses you’re supporting a fellow badass woman.
If you’re looking for some new women-owned businesses to support this month, and every month, here are a few to check out – and some of their bestselling products you’re sure to love!

UNDERCLUB
Shopping for the right underwear can be tedious, and sometimes just downright frustrating. It seems like so often the cute stuff just isn’t comfortable or doesn’t fit right, or the stuff that does fit right just isn’t easy on the eyes. And let’s face it, the wrong underwear can really damage our self-confidence.
That’s where Underclub comes in. Underclub is a luxury underwear subscription for women. This subscription service was founded by women, who support other women-owned brands and designers by featuring these brands and designers in their boxes and members shop.
There are two options to the monthly subscription – a bralette + underwear set, or a pair of underwear. Additionally, members who subscribe to the service have exclusive access to the members-only shop where they will receive 20% off luxury bralettes and underwear.
