In this episode, we have a candid and eye-opening conversation with Avisha Jhunjhunwala, the founder of Nushu Period Underwear, a company that is revolutionizing the way women manage their periods. Nushu Period Underwear makes reusable and comfortable period products that are designed by women, for women. We learn about the environmental and social benefits of switching to reusable period products, which can help reduce the massive amount of waste generated by disposable pads and tampons. Did you know that over 1 billion pads are thrown into landfill every month, and that most of them contain harmful chemicals and plastics?
We also discuss the challenges and opportunities of changing the mindset of women who have been using products that were designed by men for decades, and how Nushu Period Underwear is empowering women to embrace their natural cycle and feel confident and comfortable during their periods.
Tune in to hear the inspiring story of how Nushu Period Underwear is making a difference for the planet and for women everywhere. You don’t want to miss this episode!
