Can we just talk about how flipping brilliant period pants are?
They have been revolutionary in our house and have so many benefits. It’s thought that 200,000 tonnes of pads and tampons are sent to landfill every year in the UK, each containing huge amounts of non biodegradable, single-use plastic.
Menstrual pads alone contain up to 90% plastic and 2 billion menstrual items are flushed down Britain’s toilets every year. It’s crazy.
By using one pair of Period Pants, you can save up to 200 single-use disposables from polluting oceans or going to landfill.
It’s a really easy switch to make and is also absolutely perfect for those starting their periods. One pair will last the whole day so there’s no worrying about having to change pads or tampons in school.
You can even get swimming costumes in them so there no need to have to sit out if your daughter isn’t quite ready for tampons or a mooncup.
There are so many great companies out there - try Modibodi, Wuka, Flux Undies and Ohne so I’m confident you will be able to find something suitable for your needs.
