SPAR Petals: sustainable sanitary pads
Ending period poverty takes collective action – from awareness, education to donations and distribution
Period poverty is often faced quietly, but its impact is felt deeply in classrooms, homes, and communities. SPAR believes it’s time to talk about it — and more than that, it’s time to act.
Through the End Period Poverty campaign and the SPAR Petals range, SPAR helps make menstrual products more accessible to girls who need them, supporting dignity, confidence, and uninterrupted learning.
SPAR Petals
Care that supports dignity
Since 2019, our SPAR Petals range which includes sanitary pads, tampons, and pantyliners, has helped make menstrual products more accessible for women and girls across South Africa. No one should have to miss school, sport, or everyday life because of their period.
