Each cup is made from soft, medical-grade silicone, it’s so comfortable you can’t feel it’s there.

Freda



image_blog

Affi, founded Freda because she believes we should treat periods as a normal part of our life and a sign of health. She was raised to think periods were dirty and I had to keep it a secret, this was something she wanted to change for the next generation, saying periods are private but they should never be a secret. At Freda they believe everyone must have access to period products. Pads and tampons are as essential as toilet paper. Period poverty is still a very real issue and so every time you buy a Freda Teen box you’re supporting someone else getting the products they need. They donate a portion of their profits to charities addressing period poverty such as:
Bloody Good Period
The Red Box Project
Beauty Banks


We hope openness and honesty about periods continues to become more normal and by talking about them we can all help bust the shame that still surrounds this totally natural part of being human.

If you know of or use any other sustainable period products we would love to hear about them, share them below.
