At FLO, we want to create a world where people feel crazy confident and empowered in their life's messiest moments.
We do this through shamelessly natural products that are better for us, our loved ones and the planet🌏.
We also love delighting you with bad (errm, hilarious!) period, pee or penis jokes and doing our best to help destigmatise these traditionally taboo topics.
Urm...I have a question
Here you'll find almost everything you need to know about us and your subscriptions.
For product related queries, head to the product pages + for anything else, you can contact our customer love babe, Liliana over on hiya@hereweflo.co 🤍
General
What's the Here We Flo mission? What's your vision?
Who are your products for?
Our products are for everyone who menstruates, wees themselves or has sex. Simple as that💗
We use gender-inclusive language because we don't want anyone to be left out from these important, taboo-smashing conversations and we recognise that not everyone who menstruates is a woman and that not every woman menstruates.
When we do use the word 'woman', we want to assure you that this includes women and those who menstruate. Wherever necessary to make a point about the biological aspects our products are tailored to, we will use inclusive language like 'people who menstruate/have bladder problems', 'vulva/penis owners' etc.
And no, we don't shy away from using the words 'vulva', 'vagina', 'penis' because we think they are absolutely ESSENTIAL in empowering people to talk about their sexual and reproductive health and fostering helpful and educational conversations about our bodies🙌.

Where do 5% of Here We Flo profits go?
We donate 5% of our profits to The Orchid Project who are fighting against Female Genital Cutting (also known as FGM), Bloody Good Period, who provide menstrual products, AKT, who are helping young LGBTQ+ folk who are facing homelessness & finally, Brigid Alliance who provide Abortion care in the US.
We also make monthly product donations to food and hygiene banks, period drives, homeless shelters and more!

Why is the packaging so pink / cute?
Long story short, our SHE-EO and co-founder Tara is lactose intolerant. But whenever she was on her period, she always had massive cravings for ice-cream🍦 and sweets 🍭 - that's how we came up with the genius tampons-in-an-ice-cream-tub idea! We do all of our design in-house, so the rest is maaagic.✨
We believe pink is a feminist colour and no one should be ashamed of their period, and we LOVE being funny in everything we do. As Susan, our co-founder once said "There are many ways to smash the patriarchy - ours just happens to be humour."💁♀️🙌
Chances are, if you're reading this - you're on the same page, so welcome to the family!💕

How are Here We Flo period products sustainable?
We aim to be as sustainable & accessible as possible, whilst also providing great quality products that do their job. This means we're always striving to find the right balance between making products that are reliable and eco-friendly.
That's why all of our packaging is either compostable or recyclable. For example, our FLO Non-Applicator Tampons, Bamboo Pads and Bamboo Liners, as well as our glo Bamboo Pads and Liners are all wrapped in 100% compostable, plant-based wrappers. Our Sustainable Tampon Applicators are 95% plant-based (sugarcane) and are also recyclable (please do check locally!).
Our XO! eco-friendly condoms are CO2-neutral and made in a solar-powered factory.
Plus, all of our outer packaging is FSC-certified recyclable and biodegradable cardboard.
We also use none 🙅♀️ of the nasties you'll find in conventional tampons and pads - no fragrances, no dyes, no allergens or harsh chemicals like chlorine bleach. Nothing but natural goodness in our products! And ALL of our products are vegan + cruelty-free, certified by PETA and The Vegetarian Society.
We're also working towards becoming a fully CO2-neutral company by the end of 2021!🌱

Why do you not use the words 'Hygiene' or 'Sanitary'?
The issue with words like ‘hygiene’ and ‘sanitary’ is that it implies our bodies & periods are dirty!
Periods aren’t any more unsanitary or unhygienic than any other bodily function, yet, of all the bodily 'messes' we experience as humans, periods are the only ones we describe in terms of ‘sanitation’ so explicitly.
This furthers the stigma that periods are dirty or something to be ashamed of, and set us back in really important conversations about our reproductive health!

Do Here We Flo products expire?
They say that age shouldn't matter? It does in this case! Always check the shelf-life of Here We Flo products. The shelf life tells you how long it takes until we don't recommend people use our products - be them FLO period care products, glo bladder care or XO!'s sustainable sex range!
Even though you'll see the words 'biodegradable' or 'compostable' being used quite frequently by us, please don't take that to mean that they will spontaneously biodegrade whilst you're using them, thus making them unsafe.
As long as you play smart and follow our recommendations, you'll be alright!
Now for the actual shelf life: you can use our eco-applicator tampons for up to 5 years, our biodegradable bamboo pads/liners will last for up to 3 years and so will our XO! condoms. (make sure they make it out of your crush's wallet by then though 😉)

Where are Here We Flo products made?
Most of us like to know more about the food we eat since it's going into our bodies, so why shouldn't we know what's going into our vaginas!?
Our organic cotton is sourced from Europe, our organic bamboo is sourced from South-East Asia and our XO! eco-friendly condoms come from Malaysia through our amazing Regenerative Rubber Initiative partnership!

Are you sustainable when it comes to transporting your products?
We keep our manufacturing processes local to the regions where the ingredients are sourced from, so that our overall carbon emissions are kept at a minimum.
We also aim to ship our products via sea most of the time for the same reason AND we offset our company CO2 emissions through organisations like Climate Partner and Ecologi.
As a small business, our aim is to become fully carbon-neutral by the end of 2023.💪

Are Here We Flo products ever tested on animals? Is FLO vegan? Is glo vegan? Is XO! vegan?
Na-ah! We've never tested our products on animals and we never will.

How long will my delivery take to arrive? What do I do if my order hasn't arrived in a few days? (UK)
We aim to ship our orders within the same or on the next working day.
We deliver via Royal Mail and our price includes free 2nd Class shipping that arrives in 3-5 business days.
Paid Express Delivery orders come by Royal Mail 1st Class delivery and take 1-2 business days to arrive.
We recommend you set your charge date to at least 7 days before your period is due, to make sure that the products get to you on time. Play smart, not hard! 😉💕
If you think your order might be late, follow our rule of thumb: for order less than 7 days late from the date when you were charged, wait a teeny-tiny bit longer (thank you for your patience!) - it's likely that your order is on its way to you! If it's more than 7 days late from the date when you got charged, definitely give us a shout at hiya@hereweflo.co and we'll sort it for you!
Royal Mail does not offer tracking services for 1st and 2nd class parcels, so we appreciate the patience and we're sorry that you won't be able to stalk your parcel while it's on its way to you.👀

Why are your products more expensive online than in physical stores?
On our website, our products start at £4.99 and include free shipping. Our retail partners usually sell them for less for a few reasons, but most importantly because they have complex and cost-effective logistical capabilities.
As we’re a small team of women, delivering directly to your door means accounting for letterbox-friendly packaging, warehousing (picking & packing) and delivery fees that we simply can’t absorb entirely.
Similarly, most retailers make companies pay quite a bit of £££ so they can be on promotion throughout the year and increase the likelihood of people trying the products out.
So, while we’re very happy for our customers to buy us wherever it’s more convenient and affordable for them, there is simply no way for us to sell on our website at the same price as in stores.
Regardless of where you buy your products from, though, 5% of profits go to people + planet!🙌💖
