Tackling a Dual Crisis of Poverty and Pollution
Conventional period products impose heavy costs on both young menstruators and the environment. We believe period care shouldn't come at the cost of your health or the planet.
Affordability
Period Poverty
In Nigeria, 37% of women and girls cannot afford conventional period products. This lack of access drives school and work absenteeism, limiting critical life opportunities.

Waste
Sanitary Pads Waste
Conventional pads contain up to 90% petrochemical plastic. An average menstruator throws away 200kg of menstrual products in their lifetime—taking up to 500 years to degrade.

A single conventional pack of sanitary pads contains the equivalent plastic of five plastic bags. Over 11 million tons of plastic waste enter our oceans annually, harming marine life.

Greenhouse Gases Saved
By opting for plant-based menstrual care instead of petrochemical pads, our customers prevent carbon emissions from landfills and raw manufacturing.
+ Stems
Banana Stems Upcycled
Over 60% of agricultural banana biomass is discarded post-harvest, creating decay gases. We upcycle these stems into absorbent organic fibers.

Plastics Kept out of Oceans
Replacing standard sanitary pads (which are 90% plastic) prevents macro and microplastics from polluting our coastlines and entering marine food chains.
+ Girls
Women & Girls Empowered
Our campaigns provide sensitization, sexual health awareness, menstrual workshops, and steady manufacturing jobs for local women in Nigeria.
