Ummm - sanitary towel brands, anyone?

[toffeebutterpopcorn]

A brand that recognises and helps women (maybe charitable tie ins) etc?

Any recommendations? Needs to be particularly robust (we are taking The Shining level of flow here).

Not sure on flow as I’m relatively light but Bodyform did a wonderfully balanced advertising campaign last year that recognised the biological realities of ‘people who menstruate’.

People?

‘people who menstruate’

If I saw/read an advertising campaign stating this, I'd boycott the products.

I use independent reusables/washables.

I think Honour your Flow are still solidly about women and girls. I'll look out my research on this if you are interested in washables.

I think Tampax are holding the line in some countries but not all.

Me too

Sorry, I was being sarcastic there!!

Hey Girls anyone? I can only find an article someone wrote bitterly complaining that they use the words ‘women’ and ‘girls’. Of course...

Body forms adverts last year where beautiful, I now buy them exclusively for my daughter and local food bank.

Watch this and tell me they don't know what a woman is.

Seem to have posted a foreign version.

This is the English one. You don't lose much in the translation. I get emotional everyone I see this advert, it's a masterpiece.

That is fabulous. My eyes might have got a bit wet watching it. Thanks for posting.

I use Hey Girls. You might want to choose the night time pads for a heavy flow.

Love that advert, never actually seen it on TV but it damn well should be. Although maybe after the watershed with those sexy bits in

Do you need disposables? Luxury moon is a good website but it sells reusables and menstrual cups.honor your flow too.

Earthwise girls donate pads to girls in Kenya when you buy 3 of their earthwise brand. Although they seem.nore careful not to mention the word girls too much these days

Always. They donate to a womens sports charity.

I’ve spotted some - Rael (‘Designed for women by women’) who seem to be the ticket. I’ll have a good read through their site but their night towels are actually a sensible shape.

Ok so far so good

‘Our mission is to provide every woman with access to quality, high-performing period care that’s as good for you as it is for the environment.

All Rael products are made with sustainable and natural ingredients’

Promise I don’t work for them!

Oooo toothpaste too... worth a try. Not cheap though.

Their website is clearly all about girls and women.

Which is strange given they were kinda the ones who started it all..

Mind u always and tampax do seem to have quietly gone back...I guess they realised alienating their customers was a bad idea

I’d prefer a ‘mea culpa’ myself...

Are Lillets ok? I love their teen pads and dds and I all use them. They don't irritate me and don't have any scent.

I bought hey girls for SD the other day in waitrose. They look fab. Eco friendly and do charity donations, so I was very happy to buy them

I've used Bodyform for 40yrs, although I miss the days when they were shaped with a hump (!) in the middle, far more effective at night.

They support Bloody Good Period, who are awful.

I use Honour Your Flow too. Their night pads are huge, really sensible shape.
