Flo&Co - Sustainable And Socially Responsible Period Products
Project 2022-09-01 10:32:16 +1200
I want to start a small business that sells period products that are sustainable, eco friendly and pocket friendly to the market. My vision is to also offer a buy one, gift one option and at the end of each month the gifted products are given to an established charity that gives to those women most in need. (The period place). Currently the options available are expensive leaving many out of the market to use them, defaulting them to buy cheap, disposable options that will continue to add to our landfills. To date I have tested product samples and have found reliable manufacturers in China with reputable backgrounds. I have begun researching website and e-commerce options for when I will be ready to hit the floor running.
The first 2 products will be the washable/resuable bamboo underpants as pictured above. These are soft and comfortable and come in sizes XS to XXL.
The second product above is the reusable, washable menstrual pad, perfect for anyone wanting to use an alternative to disposable/plastic versions currently on the market.
Customers will have the option of purchasing single items, multi-packs for mini "period" gift boxes which are empowering for those teens starting out on their period journey.
Buy a pair, gift a pair is available to someone wanting to gift a pair of underwear or reusable pads to our chosen charity - "The period place" who will distribute them into the most needed community.

"What a fantastic idea I have seen some other products out there which just are not up to the job. Yours however look totally different and something I would definitely wear."
