Did you know that some local governments across Australia are starting to provide financial incentives for switching to habits that reduce production of waste?  
.
One of the schemes is the rebate for reusable sanitary items.  Councils are offering rebates of $50 to $100 (depending on the council) as a cash back on purchases of period underwear, cloth pads and menstrual cups.
.
How it works is, you purchase the item, we give you an invoice (so make sure you let us know you are going to need it for your claim) and you send in your claim and Council will give you cash back of 50% of your purchase, to a maximum rebate of $100 (or max of $50 in some localities).
.
Suppose if you bought $200 worth of eligible items, you would get $100 back.
If you spend $240, the maximum you would get back is $100.
If you spend $80, you would get (50%) back which is $40.
.
Below are some of the participating councils:
If you are in any of the above localities and want to take advantage of the trial, we have included some product suggestions below which provide the best value for you, but by all means, browse our store if you would like a different option.  All reusable products are eligible for the rebates. 
.
We are also chipping in with the value in these bundles and when you apply code NOWASTEPERIOD at checkout, you get 10% off the bundle price.

Disclaimer:

For best results, change when you feel wetness or every 3-4 hours at your own discretion.   Please follow directions carefully and wash in natural detergent before first use.

 The timing of changes will depend on which day of your period you are on and what your flow volume is and when you start to feel the pads are wet and not wicking away moisture anymore. 

If any irritation occurs, cease use until irritation clears and if you are concerned, seek medical advice if required.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do I wear these with a tampon, cup or pad?

Eco briefs are a complete replacement for other leak management products. There is no need to use anything else in conjunction with them, even on your heaviest days, with our heavy and super absorbency briefs holding up to 60 ml.  If you do like to wear a menstrual eco cup, you can choose light or moderate absorbency underwear, to wear as a backup for when your cup overflows.  Refer to our Know Your Flow page, for more guidance. 

Eco pads are also a complete replacement for other period and lbl products, with 4 layer Eco-tech designed to provide absorbency up to 100 ml.

What size is right for me?

We recommend taking your normal underwear size. 

Do I need to wash them before wear?

Yes, we recommend washing your period underwear and eco pads before the first time you wear them to help prime the 4 layer eco technology. 

What does it feel like wearing them?

Our eco briefs feel just like regular underwear! The absorbent gusset was designed to be comfy and discreet, never bulky or heavy. Just choose your favourite style of underwear and you are good to go! 

Eco Pads are soft and comfortable and clip into your regular underwear to keep them in place.  They use ‘dry touch’ technology to keep you feeling dry, even with heavy flows.  Please monitor and if you start to feel ‘wetness’, please change your eco briefs or eco pads. 

To determine your size, there are two ways to check:

1. Measure your best fitting underwear or swimwear at home against the 'Half waist Flat Lay' measurements.  This is the dimension of the top of the waist band of your underwear, when they are lying flat.

2. Measure around your hips, so over your hip bones and check against the Hip measurements either below or on the specific size chart for your product.  

If there is a discrepancy between your hip measurements and your flat lay measurements with our size chart, go with the flat lay measurements, as they represent the actual underwear you are buying and will be more accurate.

Always refer to the product specific size chart if there is one available (found at the top of the product page above the size selections), otherwise, refer to this chart below. If in doubt, please message us on chat function or email info@ecoperiod.com.au and we can discuss your needs. 

 


How to measure

 To choose the right size, follow the tips below:

  • Use a flexible measuring tape for maximum accuracy.
  • Measure hip dimensions on bare skin or over thin, tight-fitting fabric.
  • For flat lay half waist measuring, take the measurement of the garment when unstretched, and be mindful or how stretchy the elastic is of your sample, as very stretchy elastics will be designed to stretch out, so give some allowance for that.
