Hey Girls (a social enterprise period care brand)

Hey Girls is not just a plastic-free period care company, but also a social enterprise, and one that supplies products at affordable prices to schools, offices, councils etc.

The range includes menstrual cups, plus organic cotton tampons with cardboard applicators, and eco-disposable pads, all in sustainable packaging. Plus for each one you buy, another is donated to a girl or woman in need.

Bin disposables (never flush any brand down the loo). Avoid menstrual cups (or tampons) for at least 6 weeks after pregnancy or if at risk from toxic shock syndrome. 

Wash washing pads and period pads in microfibre filter (avoid fabric conditioner, bleach and tumble dryers). For stains, use oxygen bleach.

Best remedy for menstrual pain? A hot water bottle on your (clothed) tummy for 30 minutes, to relieve spasms.

The period cup is made from silicone, and packed in a washbag made from recycled ocean-bound plastic.

The sterilising cup is easy to use. Just pop in your period cup, add a splash of water and microwave – its’ that easy!

And 100% of all profits go to help people affected by period poverty, not being able to afford menstrual care.
