5 Shops Selling Alternative Menstrual Products In Lebanon

Period poverty has been a majorly overlooked issue since the beginning of the crisis, as many individuals could no longer afford to pay for basic menstrual products. And since menstrual pads are neither eco-friendly nor cost-efficient, we thought we’d point you to shops and initiatives that sell alternative menstrual products in Lebanon. Yes, other than pads and tampons. Let’s get right into it.

1. Juniper

Juniper came to be back in 2019 when the team was looking to support more sustainable (and leak-proof) periods by making eco-friendly alternatives. And thus, the Juniper cup and panties were created!

2. Omgyno

Omgyno is an educational platform that is breaking the stigma surrounding sexual and reproductive health in Lebanon by offering vaginal home-testing kits that can detect vaginitis and other STIs. Their most recent product launched was the menstrual cup and period panties.
