A Silk Pad Was the Tease. This Is the Truth.

The Real Luxury in Period Care — And Why It Shouldn’t Be

We teased a Pretty Privilege x Femmé Organic Limited Edition Silk Pad for April Fools... but the real joke? That period care still feels like a luxury for so many.

While we love beautiful things, let’s talk about what’s actually luxurious — not worrying about whether you can afford pads this month.

1 in 10 Women in Australia Face Period Poverty

That’s more than 2 million women and girls unable to afford basic period products. The impact is real: missed school, missed work, unsafe alternatives, and an overwhelming sense of shame.

Period care isn’t a treat. It’s a necessity.
But for far too many, it’s still out of reach.

Making Period Care Accessible Everywhere

At Femme Organic, we’re redefining luxury by making period care available when and where it’s needed most. That’s why we’ve created Bathroom Boxes—recyclable dispensers stocked with organic, sustainable period products. Placing these boxes in public spaces like workplaces, schools, and gyms ensures that period care is visible, accessible, and always there when you need it.

Want To Make An Impact?

You can host a Bathroom Box in your workplace or community space. It’s easy to set up and a simple way to ensure period care is always within reach.

🩸 Talk About It

🩸 Make It Accessible in Shared Spaces
Having period care available in your workplace, studio, or school isn’t a “nice to have” — it’s a necessity. That’s why we created recyclable bathroom boxes and dispensers filled with organic, sustainable products: to make period care easy, visible, and always available.

Let’s Redefine Luxury

Access to period care shouldn't feel like a privilege.
It should be normal. Non-negotiable. A given.

Because everyone deserves dignity — every single month.
