Supporting period dignity while reducing waste
Through our 'sustainable period dignity' project, we are helping Luton residents access reusable period products that can save money, reduce waste and support long-term wellbeing.
The scheme contributes to our Luton 2040 vision by promoting health, equity and environmental sustainability. It supports you to make informed choices that benefit both people and the planet.
Why choose reusable period products
Many conventional period products are single-use and generate significant amounts of waste over a lifetime.
Reusable alternatives such as period pants, reusable pads and menstrual cups can:
- reduce household costs in the long term
- help prevent unnecessary waste
- reduce reliance on single-use products
- provide a comfortable and reliable way to manage periods
- increase choice, confidence and period dignity
By switching to reusable products, you can make a positive difference to both your personal finances and the environment.
