Breaking taboos, stigma and stereotypes is something we are passionate about and today on Menstrual Hygiene Day (or Period Day as we reckon it should be called) we want to continue that passion and shine a light on the array of sustainable period brands that produce amazing products, and companies and charities that give back to girls who are less fortunate when it comes to having a basic need for a natural bodily function. Having a period on your wedding day is not ideal, as many of you will agree, but talking about it and finding a solution to make it less of a ‘big deal’ can only be a good thing. We’ve put together our top sustainable period products for your wedding day and beyond…
