Supporting Period Comfort in the Workplace: A Guide to Clean, Hygienic and Responsible Solutions

Creating a supportive and comfortable environment for female employees fosters productivity and well-being. One area that is often overlooked, but can have a significant impact, is how periods are managed in the workplace.

Providing stress-free, hygienic period disposal options can make a world of difference for employees, taking away those awkward and almost dreaded moments of either having to do the Handbag Smuggle or being greeted by someone else’s used pad stuck to the inside lid of the Sani-bin.

Why Period Comfort Matters in the Workplace

For many employees, managing their period at work can bring additional stress. Concerns about the provision of working disposal facilities, fear of leaks, and worries about hygiene can all contribute to discomfort and even embarrassment. By offering period disposal options that ensure good hygiene and a confident experience, businesses can help alleviate these concerns, supporting a more inclusive and appreciative workplace.

The Importance of Clean and Hygienic Disposal

A clean, hygienic workplace is a priority for both employees and female employers. When it comes to period disposal, this goes beyond simply providing a bin in the bathroom, which incidentally is a legal requirement. With products like FabLittleBag , employees can have access to an easier, more hygienic solution that is discreet, allowing confident management of periods.

Also, let’s not forget that 40% of women habitually flush period products which causes both blockages and pollutes rivers and oceans with what is mostly plastic waste!
