Let’s be honest: most of us who have or do experience a period, have a related horror story. Whether it’s your tampons falling out of your bag, a desperate late-night trip to the pharmacy, or the most feared: a period stain you’ve been blissfully unaware of all day - we’ve all been there. I’ve definitely had my fair share of moments that still make me twitch when I think of them - periods can be the absolute worst sometimes, but they are a completely NORMAL bodily function and something most people with female organs will experience – the ride is a long one, so why not embrace them, champion them and make them as easy and as luxe as they can possibly be? First born in Melbourne, Australia, in 2005 as a result of my own frustrations with tampons always rolling around loosely in my handbag, Moxie now exists to make these kinds of days a little easier. Think quality tampons in refillable tins, reusable menstrual cups in purse-worthy carry pods and pads and liners made with silky, biodegradable plant-based fibres, mini hot water bottles - as well as credible info that encourages and supports - and you’ve got Moxie. We stand for women, fem-identifiers, the boys-who-bleed and anyone in between. We're fortunate to have a platform where we can openly discuss the issues that affect and are important to us and so we're going to use it (for good!). Join us in the convo and in the charge against dismantling the stigmas and taboos associated with women's health and periods, whilst championing change and celebrating what it means to have 'Moxie' along the way. Together our voices, actions and choices are so, so powerful.
