Buy 1 Give 1
Our Buy 1 Give 1 programme allows customers to provide for low-income groups while purchasing sustainable menstrual products for themselves. Revenue generated from selling sustainable menstrual products will subsidize free products (including but not limited to *reusable cloth pads and #menstrual cups) and education programs provided to our target beneficiaries.
Target beneficiaries: Menstruators with financial needs, including but not limited to CSSA and WFA recipients
*Reusable cloth pads
Reusable cloth pads are made of cotton and TPU fabric and can be used for up to 5 years. Cloth pads sold through Free Periods HK are all produced in collaboration with local NGOs – we recruit low-income women, ethnic minorities and family caretaker through our NGO partners. Our cloth pad producers are equipped with skills through our training and are given an opportunity to realise their potential and participate in the positive menstrual movement.
#Menstrual cups
Ruby Cup, the brand we have chosen for this program, is a social enterprise that does not only produce safe and hygienic menstrual cups, but also sets out to tackle the issue of period poverty. The company donates Ruby Cups to girls in need through the Buy One, Give One model. Their cups are made of FDA approved medical grade silicone and can be used for up to 10 years.
We are happy to resell cloth pads and menstrual cup with different shops, if you are interested in helping more menstruators to own their choices, please email hello@freeperiods.hk.
