The Impact of Sustainable Period Products in the Workplace

Making the switch to eco-friendly period care in your workplace isn’t just good for the planet — it’s a step toward building a more inclusive, thoughtful, and progressive culture. By choosing better products, businesses are not only supporting their team’s well-being but also showing up for the environment.

And it’s never been easier to do. Our bathroom boxes make it simple to stock high-quality, plastic-free period care wherever your team needs it - no awkward requests, no synthetic ingredients, just beautifully designed essentials that nurture both people and the planet.

Why It Matters

We’re living in a time when sustainability isn’t a nice-to-have — it’s a necessity. And when it comes to period care, there’s a huge opportunity to do better. Traditional products often contain plastic, synthetic fragrances, and chemicals that don’t break down. Organic and biodegradable options — like those in our Femmé Organic range — are a simple swap that supports corporate responsibility and your team’s comfort.

Small Switch, Big Impact

For the planet:
Most conventional period products take hundreds of years to break down. By choosing biodegradable tampons and pads like ours, your workplace can help prevent thousands of single-use products from ending up in landfill.

For your team:
Stocking period care in our bathroom boxes shows your team that you care — full stop. And when that care is organic, ethical, and beautifully plastic-free? You’re backing your team with thoughtful, feel-good choices that make a real impact.

How to Make It Happen

1. Choose better products
Our offerings include organic cotton tampons and pads - made for busy spaces and thoughtful teams. Pair them with a Femmé Organic bathroom box or dispenser, and you're set.

2. Make them easy to access
No locked cupboards or awkward requests. Our recyclable bathroom boxes and dispensers are designed to live in plain sight, offering easy access for whoever needs them, whenever they need them.

3. Normalise the conversation
Encouraging open dialogue helps break period stigma. It’s as simple as sending a team email, putting up inclusive signage, or chatting during a wellness check-in. Make menstruation part of the workplace wellbeing conversation — not the taboo corner.

4. Get leadership on board
Support from the top matters. When managers and execs champion period inclusivity, it sets the tone for a more supportive and forward-thinking workplace.

5. Celebrate your impact
Whether it’s less waste, more comfort, or happier employees — share it! Highlight progress across your channels, in your sustainability reports, or even on your office noticeboard. It’s worth celebrating.

What This Really Means

This isn’t just about pads and tampons. It’s about building a workplace where everyone feels seen, supported, and empowered — with period care that’s aligned with your values. When you stock our Femmé Organic bathroom boxes, you’re not just adding a product. You’re making a statement: sustainability and wellbeing matter here.
