Sustainable periods
As part of our campaign, as well as making period products more easily accessible, we also wanted them to be more sustainable. That is why we decided to supply organic and sustainable period products.
The term 'sustainable periods' refers to the process of actively engaging in reducing the amount of waste your period makes. Instead, opting for an eco-friendly period brand/product helps to reduce waste, slow down climate change and decrease your carbon footprint. In practice, for some, this could be wearing period pants, using a menstrual cup, or switching to reusable pads or a more sustainable pad or tampon brand. As part of our campaign, we are supplying organic and sustainable period products.
Inclusive periods
When talking about periods and menstruation, it's important to remember: not all menstruators are women, and not all women menstrate.
Menstruation is a biological function; however, people tend to refer to only women and girls when discussing periods. This sadly excludes those who do not identify as women but do menstruate, for example, trans men, non-binary, gender fluid and intersex people. This restrictive language also isolates women who do not menstruate, due to menopause, stress, disease or a hysterectomy.
