Inspiration

Period plastic is damaging our planet! We’re fighting period plastic and waste by providing you with information and access to period product businesses that use organic cotton and create reusable products, putting you and the planet first.

Unlike conventional cotton, organic cotton is grown without toxic, synthetic pesticides, and uses sustainable farming methods. Artificial chemicals and additives are not only damaging to the planet but can also disrupt the pH balance in your body. Organic cotton produces 94% fewer greenhouse gases, uses 88% less water, uses sustainable farming methods, and takes 62% less energy than conventional cotton during production!

It’s time to tackle the staggering amount of plastic ending up in oceans and landfills.

What it does

Our website provides users with a collection of tampons, pads, liners, and menstrual cups from multiple different businesses with missions that align with ours. Oftentimes, it is hard to find ethical and sustainable period products to use, as there is a plethora available on the internet. However, by providing a clear mission statement on our website, we are able to provide support and a platform for users to find menstrual products that align with common interests. Our websites also highlight the importance of using sustainable menstrual products as well as promote smaller brands that bigger retailers should source from.

How we built it

We primarily used Figma to create this website. Figma was also used to prototype and connect the website together.

Challenges we ran into

The challenges we ran into were correctly formatting our website to the style we wanted. We also had a lot of issues deciding what we wanted to do as a project so we spent a lot of time brainstorming. I had some issues with the framing but that was due to numbering and the frames being unable to connect.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of our UI/UX design! We are proud that we are able to promote sustainable products for women that will also help the planet since many menstrual products are packaged with plastic or have some form of plastic covering.

What we learned

We learned that there are so many comfortable and sustainable menstrual products for women out there. Although most stores such as Target and Walmart don't have as many sustainable brands, we learned that more marketing is needed for sustainable menstrual products. We also learned how to become more comfortable with Figma!

What's next for Femthics

We want to be able to continue to market more menstrual products for women so that these more sustainable brands are more well known. We also want to continue to encourage and spread information on sustainable menstrual products for women. I would also like to make the website better by adding more features.
