S3, E1 - Bex and Laura

Did you miss us? We enjoyed our break but we missed you guys. In the episode we talk about our recent announcement about the Pathway to Recovery. --------------------------------This episode is sponsored by Modibodi. Modibodi is absorbent underwear that was founded to help people to better manage their periods and incontinence without the need for disposable pads, tampons or liners. It's a more comfortable, dignified solution that is better for our bodies and better for the environment. The new way to period.-Did you know the average person uses 11,000 menstrual disposable products in their lifetime?  -Disposables often contain plastics and can take 500-800 years to breakdown in landfill, longer when they end up in the ocean.  -It's estimated that over 100 billion menstrual disposables end up in landfill annually -Single use products are not only bad for our planet because they end up in landfill or flushed down our waterways polluting our oceans, but the production process - energy, raw materials, carbon emissions - is detrimental as well. After giving birth to her second child, Kristy (the CEO and founder off Modibodi) began to experience bladder leaks, then when her periods returned she realised that the solutions available to her were limited, costly, uncomfortable, not to mention bad for the planet. So, she took matters into her own hands and at her kitchen table began designing, testing and patenting Australia’s first period and leak-proof undies, Modibodi. Their purpose is to create limitless positive impact on people and our planet. Beyond selling leak-proof apparel that empower people’s lives, they are committed to being sustainable in all we do, helping to end period poverty and supporting health education programs that normalise and open up conversations around our bodies and leaks. To date, they have already donated 25,000 pairs of underwear to women in times of crisis and women in need. They believe the ‘purpose or why’ behind a brand absolutely matters, it can act as a guide to each business decision, and ensure you stay focused on your customers first and foremost.Head to their website to get an exclusive offer of 15% off your order using "WORST15" at the checkout. - excluding sale items, gift cards, bundles, maxi-24hrs--------------------------------Thanks for listening to the podcast.
