She's Eve
Have a more comfortable, impactful and sustainable period by swapping to She’s Eve’s pads. This thoughtful period brand is building awareness around the environmental impact of most throwaway pads, while empowering women and girls in Africa.
The She’s Eve washable pads are made using recycled fabrics and renewable raw materials. The outer fabric is even designer. It comes from Gucci’s cutting room floor, as part of their initiative to upcycle textile offcuts, making She’s Eve pads a little piece of conscious couture. Meanwhile, charcoal bamboo provides eco-friendly comfort and absorption.
She’s Eve also does disposable pads – but not as you know them. These are made from 100% organic cotton. There’s zero plastic, unlike the majority of those that pile up in landfill and take up to 800 years to decompose. They’re free from toxins too.
The She’s Eve mission isn’t only an environmental one. They’re also tackling period poverty by providing school girls in Zimbabwe with free period products, to stop them missing out on education. Through Padding Africa, they donate one pad for every She’s Eve pad purchased.
She’s Eve and Padding Africa are also empowering women to lift themselves out of poverty. The charity trains them to make pads for their community, which they can sell to become self-sufficient entrepreneurs.
Once you start using She’s Eve pads, you’ll never begrudge topping up your stash again.
She’s Eve founder Tanya Puncuh grew up in Zimbabwe, a country where poverty often causes menstrual problems which stop girls from attending school. Seeing these types of issues and their impacts firsthand inspired her career journey as a non-profit and social enterprise founder.
Tanya first launched Padding Africa to provide girls in Sub-Saharan Africa with sanitary pad kits. Something so simple which can solve so many issues and make a brighter future possible. At the same time, she was helping uplift women out of poverty as makers of the pads.
Next came She’s Eve. The brand has been another way to keep tackling period poverty, while also drawing attention to the problems with plastic-filled period products.
