US based RedDrop debuts period swimwear for teens & tweens
RedDrop, a rising star in the wellness industry for its innovative tween period care and education, today drops its newest product to accompany girls in all their summertime activities: period swimwear.
RedDrop's period swimwear can be worn any day during a girl's period as an alternative to pads or tampons. It's designed for versatility as a bikini bottom in classic black that can mix and match with any bikini top. As with RedDrop's other menstrual products, the bikini bottoms are specifically made for girls' smaller, changing bodies. The age-appropriate swimwear comes in a range of sizes from Youth XS (Kids size 8-10) to Women's XL (Juniors size 14-16).
RedDrop has launched period swimwear for tweens, designed as a versatile, non-toxic bikini bottom that supports summer activities without interruptions. Available in sizes from Youth XS to Women's XL, it holds up to 18g of flow and includes educational resources. The launch follows major investments, including a $1million Black Ambition prize and a $200K Fifteen Percent Pledge Award.
"We designed our period swimwear to be a perfect fit for tweens to participate in summer activities uninterrupted, from a day at the pool or beach to a weekend at the lake to sleepaway camp," said Dana Roberts, Co-Founder of RedDrop. "The swimwear also comes with empowering, straightforward educational resources to build confidence and body literacy. All girls should have access to affordable period care products made to meet their needs, no matter when their period starts."
RedDrop's period swimwear is made from fragrance-free, PFAS-free and non-toxic materials that form moisture-wicking layers and flexible fits that move with growing – and swimming – bodies. The bottoms hold up to two light pads or three light tampons of flow (up to 12-18 grams) and won't get waterlogged after a dip in the pool.
The new product launch comes on the heels of significant investments in RedDrop and its mission to address menstrual inequity with tween period products and educational resources. In November 2024, the minority- and women-owned company won the $1 million grand prize from Black Ambition, Pharrell Williams' non-profit organization to support Black and Hispanic Entrepreneurs. In February 2025, RedDrop won the Fifteen Percent Pledge Achievement Award totaling $200K. The Fifteen Percent Pledge is a racial equity and economic justice non-profit that addresses inequities in the American consumer economy and works towards closing the racial wealth gap.

INEOS Phenol to permanently close Gladbeck site
INEOS Phenol, the world's largest producer of phenol and acetone, announced its intention to permanently stop production at their site in Gladbeck, Germany. Sky high European energy costs alongside Europe's punitive CO2 tax policy have combined to leave Europe uncompetitive against imported Chinese production and a global oversupply. After carrying out a detailed strategic review, the business intends to permanently exit the Gladbeck site at a date to be confirmed. Europe's lack of competitiveness has already led to the exit of several downstream consumers of phenol and acetone to such an extent that local demand no longer supports the operation of the Gladbeck site which dates from 1954 and requires significant future investment. Commenting, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, Chairman of INEOS said, 'This is the consequence of Europe's total lack of energy competitiveness and the blind devotion to carbon taxation which is leading to a mass deindustrialisation across the continent. Gladbeck is not the first and will definitely not be the last unless the regulators wake up and take action' INEOS Phenol will now enter into consultation with the works council, employees, customers and suppliers to exit the site in a safe, responsible and compliant manner.

'Fu*k KC': Chiefs hit with racial bias lawsuit, fans stunned over pay gap and wrongful firing claims
Mandatory Credit: Denny Medley-Imagn Images / Denny Medley-Imagn Images The Kansas City Chiefs might be three-time Super Bowl champs, but off the field? Things just got messy. Former player and team employee Ramzee Robinson has filed a lawsuit against the team and the allegations are heavy. We're talking racial pay disparity, wrongful termination, and being blocked from job opportunities after getting fired. Chiefs fans are reacting with a mix of disbelief, frustration, and serious side-eye. Ex-Chiefs exec claims he was fired over false accusations and wasn't even shown proof Robinson, who spent nearly a decade with the Chiefs and most recently served as Director of Player Engagement, says the team unfairly fired him in February 2025. Why? According to him, his boss accused him of attacking a white female coworker and said there was security footage to back it up. But here's the twist, Robinson says he never saw the footage. Despite asking, he was shown nothing and was fired six days after the Super Bowl. Now, he's suing the Chiefs, saying the team's actions were discriminatory and retaliatory. He also says the real reason behind his firing had less to do with the alleged incident and more to do with his push for fair compensation. Lawsuit accuses the Chiefs of paying Black employees less than white counterparts One of the biggest bombshells? Robinson's claim that Black business-side employees were consistently underpaid compared to their white colleagues. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here's A List Of Cheapest Steel Suppliers (See List) Steel Suppliers | search ads Search Now Undo In his complaint, he says he started at $35K and only hit $125K by 2024, well below league averages for similar roles. The kicker? When he asked for a compensation review, team president Mark Donovan reportedly refused. It doesn't stop there. The lawsuit also points to another example, an African-American woman allegedly denied a promotion and raise while a white woman was later hired for the same role at $80K. Fans online are calling it a 'clear pattern' and asking why the NFL hasn't stepped in yet. Chiefs also accused of blocking his career after firing him After being let go, Robinson says the Houston Texans wanted to interview him. But guess what? The Chiefs allegedly blocked that too. According to the lawsuit, they cited contract restrictions despite firing him already. That move led to an additional claim of tortious interference, meaning the team allegedly sabotaged his future job chances. When reached for comment, the Chiefs didn't say much. In a statement, the team said they maintain a zero-tolerance policy for discrimination but declined to comment on an ongoing legal matter. Legal experts believe the case could either head to federal court or arbitration, depending on the contract language. Either way, this isn't going away quietly.
