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.
How Is Here We Flo Sustainable?
Learn how we keep it natural with our Eco-Friendly Period Care, Bladder Care & Sexual Wellness.
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!
Materials By Mama Nature
We only use planet-friendly materials in our period care, bladder care, sexual wellness - 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, and sugarcane biopolymer for our applicators (95% plant-based) - NO plastic here. 🙅♀️
Oeko-Tex Bamboo
Our bamboo is organic & edge-grown meaning it doesn’t replace food crops & certified by Oeko-Tex (it's tested for nasty chemical residues).
+ All of our outer packaging is made of FCS-certified recyclable cardboard and we’re vegan & cruelty-FREE!
Earth Changing Sex
Our Righteous Rubber Condoms are Climate neutral, meaning you can give back while getting some. 🍑
You can check out the latest projects we support via Climate Partner here or by scanning the barcode on the back of your XO! pack.
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.
Our natural rubber condoms (once opened), biodegrade in under a year, whereas most condoms on the market take hundreds of years! 🤯
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.
B*tches b bcorp'ing
Here We Flo is officially a Certified B Corporation®, which means we’re officially bloody brilliant!
We were awarded this certification after being assessed on five key impact areas: Governance, Workers, Community, Environment and Customers by B Lab. To become a Certified B Corporation® you must score at least 80 points but Here We Flo achieved 109.9 points! In B Corp™ terms that’s a really high score, like, higher than your hormones right before your period starts kind of high.
still got questions?
We're glad, we LOVE an eco-conscious babe. It's important to question brands to make sure that green washing is no where to be seen! 👀

Are you sustainable when it comes to transporting your products?
What are 'Sustainable Period Products'?
As opposed to the standard corporate period products (no ‘sanitary / hygiene products’ at Here We Flo, bye!), which are typically made of more than 90% non-recyclable plastic materials, we pride ourselves in offering alternatives that are both accessible + better for the planet!
We know not everyone will adapt to a menstrual cup or reusable alternative, so we're giving you a different option that's still better for us + the planet.
That's why we use either compostable, biodegradable or recyclable packaging for our products, and we use no nasties like harsh chemicals (buh-bye chlorine bleach🙅♀️), dyes, fragrances or allergens. Nothing but natural goodness here!🌱

Can I flush biodegradable tampons down the toilet?
Nooo. 🙅♀️
Please never flush any type of period care down the toilet regardless of biodegradability unless stated otherwise - It can wreak havoc on the water systems and wildlife. 🐠
We recommend you dispose of them in the general waste bin, and they will naturally biodegrade in landfill in a few years. How wonderful is that? In contrast, the existing corporate alternatives take 100+ years to biodegrade.👎
