How Is Here We Flo Sustainable?
WE'RE OFFICIALLY A CERTIFIED B CORPORATION®
Here We Flo is officially a Certified B Corporation®, which means we’re officially bloody brilliant. But “what is a Certified B Corporation®?!” we hear you ask. Fear not, we got all the answers!
SUSTAINABILITY IS OUR M.O.
We are in the business to make things that are better for our bodies, our communities and the planet. We are constantly looking to improve our impact, so our messiest moments don’t make a mess of our planet.
Better Cotton
Our tampons are made from GOTS-certified organic cotton. Organic agriculture has a host of wonderful attributes, like not using artificial chemical pesticides and higher labour standards for labourers and farmers. It’s also ridiculously soft - naturally!
Our period pants are made with BCI Cotton. (The Better Cotton Initiative) is making waves in cotton for their work in improving transparency, sustainability and labour standards in the cotton industry. It’s also…you guessed it, super soft and comfy!
Plant-Based Wrappers + Applicators
We use biodegradable + compostable plant cellulose for our pad, liner and tampon wrappers.
We also a sugarcane biopolymer for our bioplastic tampon applicators (95% plant-based)
Organic Bamboo
We use organic bamboo viscous in our pads and liners. It is also edge-grown meaning it doesn’t replace food crops.
Earth Changing Sex
Our Righteous Rubber Condoms are Climate neutral, meaning you can give back while getting some. 🍑

Peace, love + agroforestry
We are founding members of the Regenerative Rubber Initiative, which means we use Fair Agroforestry Latex: we cooperate directly with smallholders who earn fair wages & practice biodiverse, sustainable farming of rubber trees.
How does the regenerative rubber initiative work?
A latex processing factory in Thailand buys the raw material directly from agroforestry farmers within a premium pricing system.
After processing the natural rubber latex, it is sent to Malaysia where a manufacturer produces our condoms in a solar powered factory and then sold to you! The whole supply chain is fully traceable.
