Today, we’re talking periods and sustainability. If you've ever wondered about the environmental impact of your monthly cycle, you're not alone - hello, that’s how Here We Flo was made!
Well, the harsh truth is, traditional period products like pads and tampons (not FLOs ofc) contribute to a significant amount of waste, ending up in landfills and oceans worldwide.
But dw, because there's a better way! Enter period pants - the heroes for a sustainable time of the month. So let’s dive into why our best-sellers are a crucial step towards a greener, cleaner planet…
The problem with traditional period products
Picture this: every month, billions of traditional disposable pads and tampons are used and discarded globally, creating a staggering amount of waste. These single-use products are typically made from horrible non-biodegradable materials like plastic and synthetic fibres, which can take centuries to decompose. (Not our pads and tampons - but that’s a story for another day!) As a result, landfills overflow with period product waste, polluting our environment and harming wildlife - totally not okay.
Period pants to the rescue!
FLO Period Pants are crafted with sustainability at their core. Made from BCI Cotton, these beauties are part of the Better Cotton Initiative, which promotes better standards in cotton farming and practices, ensuring environmental sustainability and improved livelihoods for farming communities. The pants are designed to be reusable, significantly reducing the need for disposable products.
How are period pants saving the planet?
Let’s break it down. By choosing period pants, you’re reducing the demand for single-use products, which in turn lowers the amount of waste heading to our landfills. Each pair of our period pants can be washed and reused multiple times, significantly cutting down on the number of disposable products you need throughout your flow.
FLO Period Pants are also a certified climate-neutral product, meaning their carbon footprint is minimised and offset, and they’re PETA-approved vegan and cruelty-free.
The cherry on top is that they're designed with your comfort in mind, ensuring a snug, leak-proof fit without compromising on style.
So, babe by making the switch to period pants, you're not just choosing comfort and convenience, you're also making a powerful impact on our environment - big love.
