Why Reusable Menstrual Products Are the Best Workplace Perk You’re Not Offering
(Yet)
We all love a good workplace perk! Pizza parties, free coffee, and private healthcare are popular benefits. But when it comes to truly championing women’s health, it’s time to think differently. For female employees, the most meaningful benefit is one that directly supports their well-being—especially around menstruation. One of the most impactful ways to do that? Providing reusable menstrual products.
Supplying these sustainable options is a win-win solution that many companies aren’t talking about yet. From boosting morale to saving money, the advantages go far beyond simply replacing disposable pads and tampons. Here’s why making this change could transform your workplace culture—especially for companies with female employees working in the great outdoors.
The Surprising Benefits of Reusable Menstrual Products in the Workplace
When we think of employee perks, we might picture coffee machines, gym memberships, or remote work options. But what if one of the best things you could offer your team was…reusable menstrual products?
- Saves Money and the Planet
Imagine how much waste piles up with single-use period products. In the UK alone, billions of tampons, pads, and liners end up in landfills every year. But here’s the good news: by switching to reusables, workplaces can cut costs and make a real environmental impact. Think about it—no more constant restocking of disposables, just quality products that last for years. It’s a win for budgets and for our beautiful planet. - Cutting Down on Sick Days
Did you know that period symptoms contribute to workplace absenteeism? Studies show that one in ten women have missed work due to their period, and the impact is especially noticeable in physically demanding jobs and outdoor settings where clean facilities are hard to come by. Reusable products like menstrual cups offer longer wear times and fewer leaks, giving employees peace of mind—and more days at work. - Boosting Morale and Well-Being
Offering reusables isn’t just about the practical benefits; it’s about showing women that their well-being matters. Imagine how empowering it is to work somewhere that actively supports women’s health, especially in roles where it’s often overlooked. This isn’t just a benefit—it’s a statement. And for outdoor workplaces, where changing a pad or tampon can feel like a mission, it’s a total game-changer. Employees who feel seen and supported are happier, more productive, and more likely to stick around.
