Periods, something so natural for our bodies as females are oftentimes considered taboo to talk about.
In this episode, we have Michele Wilson, co-founder of a sustainable and carbon-offset brand of period-proof underwear named Awwa. She's here with us to talk about her Maori roots and how she's taken inspiration from their innovation and made it widely available to the world.
Periods don't have to and shouldn't contribute to pollution and plastic waste, especially not when it's an integral part of ourselves. Instead of using throw-aways and plastic inside you, please make the switch and contribute to our shared future now.
In This Episode, We Discuss:
Michele's inspiration for creating Awwa
Using old technology in modern times
Carbon offsetting and sustainable sourcing for Awwa
Awwa's impact on indigenous communities in New Zealand
How their panties work against our periods
The choices available for zero-waste periods
New inclusive lines coming up for the trans community and more
