Ashlee's idea for The Pocket Panty was sparked by a simple, deeply relatable need: having a clean pair of underwear on hand during life’s unpredictable moments. That insight led to the creation of The Pocket Panty. An on-the-go solution for women who want to feel confident, prepared, and covered, no matter what life throws at them.

After appearing on Shark Tank, Ashlee was flooded with messages from women across the country sharing deeply personal stories -many involving medical issues, postpartum recovery, or sudden emergencies - where having a spare pair of underwear would have meant everything. That’s when Ashlee realized The Pocket Panty wasn’t just a product, it was a platform for restoring dignity and connection.

As a proud woman of color and dedicated advocate, Ashlee leads The Pocket Panty with a mission to destigmatize life’s accidents, promote panty equity, and increase access for women facing systemic barriers, including those experiencing homelessness, incarceration, or displacement. Under her leadership, The Pocket Panty is expanding its product line and impact—one pair at a time.
