The Bamboo Toilet Paper Fighting Period Poverty

Access to personal hygiene essentials, like our bamboo toilet paper, is something most of us take for granted. But not everyone is so fortunate.

We were shocked when we found out that over 500 million women and girls of reproductive age worldwide don’t have the means to properly manage their periods with health, safety, and dignity. This means that they might have to miss school or work simply because they lack proper period supplies and menstrual health education. Some even face shame and stigmatization as a result. The term used to describe this is Period Poverty and it can have a serious impact on families, communities, and nations. And it’s not just in developing countries. According to one study, 1 in 5 teenagers surveyed in the United States have struggled to afford period products.

Bamboo Toilet Paper and Kitchen Roll: Helping Reduce Period Poverty

Toilet paper and kitchen roll made from bamboo offer a sustainable alternative to traditional paper products, thanks to the rapid growth and regenerative properties of bamboo. Bamboo grows up to 20 times faster than trees, making it an abundant and renewable resource. Moreover, bamboo can be cultivated without the need for harmful pesticides or excessive water, reducing environmental impact. When transformed into paper products, bamboo is biodegradable, promoting a more eco-friendly end-of-life cycle. Here you caan learn more about bamboo toilet paper and why it is so great.

Our bamboo toilet paper and kitchen roll represent a pinnacle of sustainable personal hygiene products, crafted with the utmost commitment to environmental responsibility. This dedication to sustainability is precisely why we believe these products are a perfect contribution in the fight against period poverty.

Period poverty is a pressing issue that affects countless individuals, primarily women and girls, around the world. It refers to the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products and proper sanitation facilities, due to financial constraints or limited resources. This scarcity forces many to make difficult choices between buying essential items like food and paying for menstrual products. Period poverty not only poses physical discomfort and health risk but also perpetuates a cycle of shame and stigma around menstruation. Addressing this issue involves providing affordable or free menstrual products and promoting open conversations to eradicate the embarrassment associated with a natural bodily process. Together, we can work towards a world where no one has to endure period poverty, ensuring that everyone can manage their menstruation with dignity and ease.

Knowing what we now know, we couldn’t stand by and let this happen. That’s why, with each bamboo toilet paper subscription, we’ll provide a period kit to a woman who needs it through the organisation Days for Girls (DfG).
