Menstruation without Taboo: Czech Brands Changing the Way We Care for Our Bodies
ust a few years ago, menstruation was something whispered about — or not discussed at all. Today, everything has changed. Women openly share their experiences, pay more attention to the ingredients and materials of the products they use, and consider how their monthly choices affect not only their bodies but also the planet.
At the same time, a new wave of small Czech brands is emerging, bringing more thoughtful, eco-friendly, and often beautifully designed alternatives to disposable products. From menstrual underwear to thoughtfully designed cups, the Czech scene now offers projects backed by real stories, local production, and a mission to change how we perceive menstruation — with a focus on natural care and respect.
Lota — Eco‑Friendly Natural Tampons
Lota is a Czech brand creating natural, bio‑cotton tampons that stand out for their gentle and eco‑conscious design. Made from 100 % organic cotton without chlorine, perfumes, dyes, pesticides or other chemicals, Lota tampons are hypoallergenic, compostable, and kinder to both body and planet. You can customise your own monthly package based on the length and intensity of your period — choosing exactly the sizes you need — and order it as a one‑off or via subscription, with deliveries sent regularly and tailored to your cycle.
SAYU — Minimalism That Makes Sense
SAYU is a Czech brand that brings a gentle, thoughtful approach to menstrual care. Their menstrual underwear is made with high-quality materials, simple design, and long-lasting durability.

Beyond products, the brand opens a dialogue about menstruation as a natural part of life.
Ecomodi — Comfort and Natural Materials
