Maria founded Sanavay after a conversation with her daughter and friends about the discomfort of traditional sanitary products.

For over a decade, Maria had experienced inherited menorrhagia (heavy menstrual bleeding that lasted longer than seven days) and found that traditional branded tampons and sanitary pads were expensive, uncomfortable and inadequate. Although medication offered temporary relief, the side effects were distressing. Maria didn't want her daughter to go through the same experiences, so she looked for alternatives and discovered menstrual cups and period pants.

Together, they are on a mission to spread the word of how completely life-changing these reusable and eco-friendly menstrual products are.

Our Mission

And this is just the beginning

At Sanavay, we have done the hard work of selecting the best sustainable menstrual brands, so you don't have to!

We are proud to partner with brands that prioritize customer safety and use natural, breathable materials that are gentle on the skin and the environment.

Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond promoting healthy living to include a deep respect for the environment, free from chemicals and toxins. We believe that by promoting and supporting responsible brands, we can help create a brighter future for everyone.

Our Promise

It’s very simple - to help put an end to period poverty. Period.

Sanavay prioritises the health and well-being of those in need by supporting as many charitable organisations as we possibly can.

In 2024, we will donate to Bloody Good Period.

Bloody Good Period is a charity “fighting for menstrual equity and the rights of all women and people who bleed, so that no one is held back by their period or society's warped perception of the menstruating body.”

By donating period products, our time, or money, we can support those most in need and make a positive impact on their lives.
