Have you heard of the word "ENVIRONMENSTRUAL"?
It’s a wonderful blend of “environment” and “menstrual,” and it refers to menstrual products, practices, and approaches designed with a focus on environmental sustainability. The idea is to manage menstruation in a way that’s gentle on the planet.
In the UK, Environmenstrual Week is celebrated from October 21st to 25th, and we believe this is something that could benefit everyone around the world, given that we all share the same planet.
Why Environmenstrual Week Matters
- Protecting Our Planet: Conventional menstrual products contribute significantly to landfill waste and pollution. Environmenstrual Week shines a spotlight on how sustainable alternatives can help reduce this impact and foster a healthier environment.
- Healthier Choices: Many eco-friendly menstrual products are crafted from natural materials and are free from harmful chemicals and synthetic additives, offering a healthier option for personal care. Oi disposable period products use certified organic cotton free from perfume, Chlorine bleaching, pesticides, irritants and allergens.
