About Us
The Pocket Panty (TPP) was born out of necessity. The founder of TPP often found herself wanting to freshen up while running errands or shower after a midday workout and head straight to happy hour without having to go home to pick up another pair of panties. In most cases, she was not looking for a panty that was too fancy – just convenient, affordable, and did not cause the dreaded “muffin top” or ride up her backside! One day, after yet another unsuccessful impromptu panty search, the founder decided to create one of the first on-the-go reusable panty options.
The Pocket Panty aims to destigmatize life’s accidents and offer a quick, discreet, comfortable, and affordable solution that is easily accessible. For women and by women, TPP normalizes life’s unexpected accidents and emergencies and empowers women to view the occasional need for an on-the-go panty as a part of life and not a source of humiliation or stress.
The Founder
Ashlee L. Turner is the founder and CEO of The Pocket Panty. In 2006, Ashlee opened Sweet Sugar, a candy lounge in the heart of the Melrose Strip in Los Angeles, California. While running Sweet Sugar, Ashlee had the opportunity to cater various celebrity parties, baby showers, awards shows and was featured in Los Angeles Magazine. After widespread success, unfortunately, Ashlee had to close the doors to Sweet Sugar due to ongoing building and construction issues.
Ashlee soon returned to building a thriving career in sales. Although she remained in the top ranks of every sales position that she held, Ashlee could not escape a constant sense of unfulfillment and dreamt about becoming an entrepreneur once again. Well, the time has come, and The Pocket Panty is here!
As a staunch activist and woman of color, TPP is not just another lucrative business endeavor for Ashlee. Instead, it’s a labor of love that is near and dear to her heart. Ashlee wants to destigmatize life’s accidents and offer a comfortable and affordable on-the-go panty solution that is easily accessible and inclusive of most body types while also giving back to economically disenfranchised women who live in inner-city communities.
Our Promise
We are committed to providing a comfortable & quality fit panty for all. Please be patient with us as we grow into a brand that continues to promote inclusivity for all body types.
PINKY PROMISE!
There is nothing to be ashamed of…
Join the revolution to normalize life’s unexpected moments and to embrace the need for an occasional on-the-go panty as a part of life and not a source of humiliation.
Pay it forward
TPP is excited to announce The Pocket Panty Project, a partnership with various non profits that assist in supplying feminine products for underserved communities! Because women of color are often underserved and experience both gender and race-based discrimination, for each pair of panties that are sold, a donation will be made to an organization that supports the wellness and overall progression of WOC.
Additionally, we want to do our part by offering panties to undergarment insecure and lower-income areas.
