Plastic Free. Period

Research shows that people who use period products use more than 11,000 disposable items in their lifetime. Most single use disposable menstrual pads can be made of up to 90% plastic. Bearing in mind the adhesives and packaging, each pad can be the equivalent to around 4 plastic bags, that’s a lot of waste but is there a more sustainable option?

To support Frome Town Council's initiative to encourage menstruating people to switch to reusable and ecologically friendly products we'll be running a stall outside Ellenbray in the town centre of Frome.  Come along and find out more about how to have a happy, healthy period that doesn't damage the environment.
