Happy Periods: #betterperiods and not a compromise

🩸 From Plastic to Purpose: Making the Switch

For years, menstruation was managed by whatever was on the supermarket shelf — often plastic-lined pads or chlorine-bleached tampons. But the tide is turning. Walk into Green Collective, and you’ll find more than a shelf. You’ll find a movement.

We met Xanthe, a young professional who had tried and struggled with tampons and even cups, She tried Hello Disc, one of our best selling products in the last 2 years. and has been a big fan of it.

"As someone who has tried (and struggled) to use tampons and cups, my disk is so easy to insert and I only occasionally feel it if it’s moved slightly out of place. I have honestly recommended to all my friends to get one and try it," she shared.  

Then there’s Liyana, who discovered Modibodi's period underwear through our store. Made with soft, breathable fabric, it looks and feels like regular underwear but can absorb the flow of 3–4 tampons. “It’s a game-changer for my heavy days — and I no longer carry around a stash of pads,” she said.

Even parents are making the switch for their teens. We spoke to Michelle, who introduced her daughter to cloth pads from Eco Femme. “They’re cute, washable, and made by a women’s cooperative in India — my daughter actually looks forward to wearing them.”

These aren't just products — they're better period experiences . Eco friendly period alternatives aren't just good for you, they are also great for the planet and your wallet. See the table below which shows a comparison of different period products and their impact.

🌱 It’s Not Just a Period. It’s a Choice.

What you use during your period matters. It’s about your health. Your comfort. Your freedom. And yes, your environmental footprint.

By choosing sustainable alternatives, you’re:

• Reducing landfill waste

• Supporting ethical, small-scale brands

• Investing in your own well-being

• Creating conversations that normalize and empower

Convinced yet? Oh yes, I know what you are wondering, which product do I go for? Cups sound great but not sure about them, what about period underwear? and yes - there is also the menstrual disc.....

We know it can be overwhelming to change something so personal to all of us. Our bodies are different and so are our periods so there is no one size fits all. This is the reason we have a complete range of solutions to choose from across different categories - period cups and discs, period underwear, and swimwear.

Stay tuned, in our next edition of #Happy Periods, we will talk about how to choose when you have so many #betterchoices.

Meanwhile let’s start this movement together — not with shame or silence, but with joy, choice, and confidence.
