Plastic Free. Period – Green and Healthy Frome

Many disposable period products contain hidden plastic, one pack of pads can contain as much plastic as five carrier bags. When flushed, they contribute to the 2 billion period products polluting UK waterways each year.

The Plastic Free. Period. team supports reusable and low-impact options like period pants, washable pads, menstrual cups, and organic disposables. There options are not only very low plastic but they also reduce exposure to harmful chemicals often found in plastic and scented products, which is especially important in such an absorbent part of the body.

Better for the planet, gentler on your body, and in the long run, they are cheaper. To help make the switch easier, scroll down for our DISCOUNTS, free youth period pant packs, info and events.
