Disposable period products have turned menstruation into a throwaway problem. But periods don’t have to come wrapped in plastic.

In this lively, practical webinar, Lucy Peach explores the environmental impact of modern period products and introduces the growing range of reusable alternatives, from menstrual cups to period underwear. With evidence-based insight, humour and lived experience, she shows how switching to plastic-free options can reduce waste while helping people reconnect with the intelligence of the menstrual cycle.

Participants will discover how plastic-free period products work, how to choose what suits their body and lifestyle, and why reclaiming period pride can be a powerful antidote to our throwaway culture.

Curious, sceptical or ready to make the switch? Come along and learn how to break the disposable cycle. Whether you have a period or just know someone who does, all are welcome!
