Our solution to reduce period poverty: the Fornix system
For every Fornix Menstrual Ddisc sold online, we donate one to an organization that redistributes them. Together, we are helping to offer an alternative to disposable tampons and pads.
Independence from disposable menstrual products
The Fornix Menstrual Disc is reusable for up to 10 years!
In the long term, it's an excellent way to help someone experiencing period poverty better manage their period.
A single Fornix Menstrual Disc can replace up to 2400* tampons and pads, allowing someone to become independent of disposable menstrual products.
*Based on the use of 20 disposable menstrual products per cycle, at 12 cycles per year for 10 years.
Savings of approximately 95%
In Canada, disposable tampons and menstrual pads can cost up to $8 for 20 units.
If you use 20 tampons or disposable pads per cycle and have 12 cycles per year, your bill comes to nearly $100 per year, or $1,000 over 10 years.
At $54, the Fornix Menstrual Disc therefore represents a savings of approximately 95%.
Education to destigmatize menstruation
Through awareness and discussion, we hope to help break down the taboos and prejudices surrounding menstruation.
We share content on social media, publish blog articles, and have created the Fornix Community on Facebook to talk openly about everything related to menstruation and share tips and tricks.
