Dive into the world of Ugly Pants, where we're not just changing the way you experience periods, but also how you impact the planet. Crafted with love in the UK, our period pants are a harmonious blend of style, comfort, and environmental responsibility. Producing locally in the UK significantly reduces our carbon footprint and CO2 emissions. By manufacturing close to home, we cut down on the long-distance transportation of goods, which is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions. This not only supports local economies but also minimizes the environmental impact of shipping and logistics.
In our quest for sustainability, we proudly produce our period pants with up to 99% upcycled fabric, dramatically reducing waste and the need for new raw materials. Upcycling existing fabrics means we re-purpose materials that have already been manufactured, conserving resources and energy that would otherwise go into producing new textiles. This process significantly lowers the environmental impact compared to conventional fabric production, which often involves resource-intensive processes and high levels of pollution.

Disposal of menstrual products
Tampons, pads, and cups contribute to 28,114 tonnes of waste per year in the UK.

Our period pants are designed to be reusable, offering a long-lasting and eco-friendly alternative to disposable sanitary products. One pair of Ugly Pants can replace 200 single- use disposables which, as recent studies have found, are filled with plastic and harmful metals. Unlike disposable products, which can take up to 500 years to decompose, our reusable period pants can last for years with proper care, significantly reducing landfill waste. Disposable pads and tampons generate millions of tons of waste each year, contributing to environmental pollution and resource depletion. By choosing Ugly Pants, you're not only embracing a cycle of comfort and confidence but also contributing to a significant reduction in the environmental impact associated with period care.
Ugly Pants have gone through an extensive design and trial process to test the durability and quality of our products. Not only are our materials upcycled, but they are also made with Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified bamboo. This certification guarantees that our fabrics have been tested and are free from harmful substances, ensuring safety and comfort.
