A quiet revolution in the staff bathroom

You shouldn’t have to whisper ‘does anyone have a pad?’ at work
You’re already pushing through the day. Maybe you’re running a meeting, prepping a shoot, or just trying to make it to lunch without another cramp. And then - no pad, no tampon, no backup. Just the quiet panic of rifling through your bag and hoping a colleague is close.

We’ve all been there. That’s why this moment - a beauty giant quietly filling its staff bathrooms with organic period care, feels quietly radical.

What Sephora just did (and why it matters)
Sephora Australia is now stocking Femmé bathroom boxes in all 32 of their stores, not for customers, but for their own staff. It’s one of the first times we’ve seen a major beauty retailer make that kind of internal commitment. Not just ticking the box with a single pack of pads in the back office - but a full box, stocked, visible, and taken seriously.

It might not sound huge. But if you’ve ever bled through at work, or been forced to use a crinkly pad from the bottom of a handbag..you’ll know it is.

The little box that changes things
Our bathroom boxes were never just about stocking period care. They’re about what it means to be looked after in a shared space. Clean lines, recyclable design, filled with organic cotton pads and tampons that actually breathe - no plastic, no weird smells, no question of “who stocked this?”

They’re what we use in our own bathrooms. And what we recommend when workplaces ask, “Where do we start?”

Period care isn’t a perk. It’s basic respect.
That’s the shift we’re starting to see. More studios, clinics, and now big retailers like Sephora realising that staff wellbeing isn’t just yoga sessions or mental health posters. It’s practical, everyday comfort - like knowing you can grab a tampon without asking.

If you’re someone who notices these things, who feels safer knowing there’s a clean, stocked box in the bathroom, we see you. And we’re so proud to be part of this small-but-mighty change.
