Reddy's is a woman-owned and run business, which believes women and their cycles are an asset to the world of business. We regard the diversity of their cyclical nature as inextricable to their valuable in the workplace. We appreciate both their productivity and receptivity as qualities that make business human. The cotton choices: We are very pleased to offer women organic cotton flannel. We love supporting the organic cotton industry and their low impact dyeing methods and await the day when the demand for gorgeous patterns on organic cloth will fill the fabric stores with only organic cotton products, just as organic foods have become more common. We feel it is very important for women to enjoy wearing their pads. It's clear that the 'fashion piece' factor of the pads makes women look forward to using their pads. For this reason we offer the 100% cotton non-organic pads in exciting patterns. We are also thrilled we are able to offer organic belts. They are rubber covered by organic cottons and we have finally found that hand-dyeing them gives us the colors we want. Similarly with the sensual satin/plush belts. Zero Waste: Reddy's strives for zero waste - the printing and packaging is done on recycled paper with soy-based inks, the tea and calendar bags are biodegradable cellulose bags and the vinyl 3-pack bags are reusable. Our Affiliations: Reddy’s is a member of The Red Web Project , an umbrella menstrual health organization “dedicated to creating a positive societal view of the lifelong menstrual cycle through education and community”.
