S02 E27: Sustainable Menstruation ft. Kathy & Jessamijn, Eco Femme

Agla Station Adulthood with Rytasha & Ayushi

We buy it, we use it, and we wrap it in a piece of paper and let it go. What happens next? What happens is that it rests in a landfill beyond us and our future generations ignoring the earth's requests to just decompose and move on. The pads. Layered with perfume and plastic.

This World Environment Day 2021, we feel it is a good time to reconsider your choices, give a thought to Mother Earth and make that much-awaited switch to more sustainable and eco-friendly products.

To help us out, we invited Kathy & Jessamijn from Eco Femme, a social enterprise based out of Auroville in Pondicherry. They specialize in cloth pads and have been revolutionizing the period scene with their minimal waste cloth pads that come in various sizes.
We discuss periods, our leakage stories, the issue of plastic and wastage, the yuckiness and earthiness of blood, and a sense of solidarity that menstruators share.
