Since starting my online campaign to #EndPeriodPlastic, there are a few questions I get asked regularly, including; ‘Where can I access eco-friendly period products?’ and ‘What options are out there and what brands do you recommend?’. So, here's the Eco Period Guide! I have put together this full list of all the eco-friendly period brands and products that are available in the UK both online and in shops! It includes eco-friendly tampons and pads as well as reusables like menstrual cups, cloth pads, period pants and reusable tampon applicators. www.superdrug.com/search?text=lunaBrands are listed A-Z , plus I’ve included links to their online websites as well as the information on where you can access them in a UK store near you! This is not an AD or sponsored blog post, it is simply a list of all the different products you can get and where they are available in the UK, to make it easier for you to find them.
I hope that you find this resource useful and if you decide to wave goodbye to conventional and opt for eco, use the hashtag #GoGreenOnYourFlow on social media and I’ll share!

Cool list, thanks for making it! Just wondered what the bit about avoiding plant based plastic apps meant? Thanks

Hi Lou, so happy that you find this helpful and thanks for the question! The reason for avoiding 'plant-based plastic' applicators is that they behave the same way in the environment as conventional plastic applicators (fossil-fuel derived).

This is a great summary! Though I always try to support locally produced brands rather than ones shipped from China, so I would be so grateful if the origin of product can be noted as well.

floating lotus is another cloth pads brand (which I use and am super happy with) - it's a small UK business too :)) https://floatinglotuspads.com

I've switched from Tampax to Natracare, but have also used a menstrual cup and somewhere online have seen a useful diagram showing different types, shapes and sizes, which may help people find one that suits them.
