Will you make the switch?
Namaste team, I am Archanaa from Coimbatore. I recently bought Eco Femme cloth pads and ever since I have been very happy. Switching to cloth pads is the best thing we can do to ourselves and for Mother Nature. Just thought I must stop by and say thanks for this initiative. I have suggested these cloth pads to my friends and relatives.
I am very enthusiastic about your project, the way it combines female empowerment and questions of sustainability and I would love to support you from Germany until I can come to Auroville one day and get to know you personally 🙂
