Let me introduce you to Sustainable Cycles. It’s my first step towards realising an idea that I’ve had for a looooong time. To say I’m excited is an understatement!
So what is this big idea?
I want every period-haver in the world (I’m aiming high) to have a Hello Period menstrual disc. I understand however, that the upfront cost of a menstrual disc can be a barrier for many. Cue Sustainable Cycles… It exists to remove that barrier by providing fully subsidised menstrual discs to anyone who wants one. I want to source funding from wherever I can, and redirect it into menstrual discs. Period dignity should not be a privilege, it should be a human right.
The goal of world wide distribution of discs is a bit big for now; so the first step is to pilot this idea in my Tāhuna Queenstown community. I recently secured some funding from Waste Minimisation Fund and I can now give this a shot!
Follow my Instagram or Facebook as I share more about this initiative, Hello discs, and menstrual health in general. And if you or someone you know would like to access a Hello disc, join me on 29 January to get one! The link to the event is in my bio.
