Mammut x Female Engineering
Our collaboration with Mammut, a premium outdoor brand with a deep-rooted passion for mountain life, unites their pursuit of performance and our mission to create innovative solutions for women’s real needs. This collaboration brings together technical expertise and purposeful design, creating a period panty ready to support women on any day of their cycle.
From rope makers to mountain leaders
Mammut was started as a family business in 1862. In a small town in northern Switzerland, they produced their first ropes, designed primarily for agriculture. Since then, a lot has changed – but their commitment to safety, innovation, functionality and performance is still standing, and today they are a leading global brand for mountain sports. And their mission, to inspire love for the mountains, to get people outside and find connections in the great outdoors, echoes in everything they do.
Designing for women with purpose and integrity
Periods are part of everyday life for half the population. Yet periods are rarely taken into consideration in performance wear. At Female Engineering, that gap is exactly where innovation begins. The period panty was created to support performance, move with your body, and remove limitations.
This is where Mammut and Female Engineering meet naturally. Built on a deep respect for performance, the female body and the environments we move through. Whether that’s the unpredictability of the mountains, or the realities of having a female body.
These period panties combine Mammut’s legacy of technical expertise and passion for the outdoors with Female Engineering’s mission to redefine menstrual protection and create a thoughtful design, tested in mountain life. Made for the outdoors and the freedom to discover without limits.
Outdoor pioneers paving the way
History in general, and mountaineering in particular, is often told as a story of firsts. Many of those firsts belong to women who have challenged expectations, stepped into the unknown and expanded what was considered possible. These women didn’t just follow paths, they created them. Their stories are not only part of the greatest accomplishments in mountaineering and climbing history, but part of a larger narrative where strength, innovation and exploration have never just belonged to one group.
Women that reshaped the mountains as we knew them
In 1838, Henriette d’Angeville was one of the first people on earth to climb Mont Blanc. In a time where women weren’t supposed to take up space in such landscapes, she did.
Decades later, Wanda Rutkiewicz, who was a mountaineer and engineer, became the first woman to reach K2 and the third woman to summit Mount Everest.
In the 1986, Julie Tullis, climber and filmmaker, was the first British woman to climb K2.
Catherine Destivelle is one of the greatest mountaineers and climbers of all time and was the first woman to ascent an 8a+ route in 1988.
Alison Hargreaves redefined what was possible when she solo climbed the six great north faces of the Alps in a single season, becoming the first person to do so.
Lynn Hill, legendary rock climber, was the first person to ever free climb the nose of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley in 1993.
