Eco Femme Ambassadors are passionate individuals who promote washable cloth pads and a period-positive culture in their communities.
Cloth-washable pads and sustainable menstruation are relatively new cultural phenomena. We know that when someone trustworthy speaks about their positive experience of making the switch to cloth pads, that this is truly one of the most effective ways to inspire confidence in others who may be hesitant to give them a go.
Your Work really makes a difference!
Our Ambassador network is made up of over 350 (and growing!) volunteers from all walks of life – girls, women, mothers, brothers, fathers, doctors, sexual health educators, yoga instructors, artists, anyone! – from all over the world.
They are a highly diverse and creative bunch of individuals in terms of their backgrounds, the activities they undertake, and even age and gender. What they have in common is a passion to change the cultural narrative about how menstruation is viewed and a wish to encourage a widespread shift to sustainable menstrual practices.

How you raise awareness about cloth pads and period-positive culture is up to you. We welcome creativity and ideas – be it through advocacy, education (formal and informal), fundraising for our Pad for Pad or Pads for Sisters programmes, events, discussion groups, movie nights, hosting a Red Tent or women’s circles, advocacy and campaigning for e.g. Menstrual Hygiene Day, International Women’s Day, Earth Day or World Environment Day, through social media, workplace presentations, selling Eco Femme pads, period art, blogs, poetry or music… the possibilities are endless!
We are here to support you in undertaking whatever activities you feel called to do, with fantastic resources, samples, phone calls, a sounding board to brainstorm your ideas, online learning, and training (like our Ambassador workshop).
