About the products
The products are supplied by Time of the Month (TOTM), a certified B Corporation whose ethos fits well with the University’s commitment to sustainability.
The ethical and sustainable period care products are:
Made with certified organic cotton - grown without toxic, synthetic pesticides and using sustainable farming methods. Organic cotton also produces fewer greenhouse gases and uses less water and energy.
Designed to reduce waste, with no plastic packaging or applicators - to help reduce the 200,000 tonnes of waste generated every year by menstrual products in the UK.
Trademarked vegan - free from animal ingredients since 1990.
TOTM also supports charities such as Endometriosis UK and In Kind Direct, who deliver essential products to those in need.
