Unmentionables are worth mentioning when they make an impact. Case in point: Atlanta-based company the Honey Pot has garnered attention from the likes of Vogue and Marie Claire for disrupting the feminine care industry with its plant-based, chemical-free, environmentally friendly wipes, washes, and pads.
