It's been a few years since our last blog post... Let's hear from Rosie, our Owner/Director.
We have had some major changes in the last few years. We are stoked to finally see menstrual cups becoming mainstream, as seen in supermarkets, chemists etc. A major part of our mission has been successful! The taboo around periods now seems significantly less than it was seven years ago.
Sustainable Menstruation Australia took a little bit of a backseat while I was working as a Freediving Instructor and managing a dive shop. I left this role in 2019 to become a mother (my son is two already, how did that time go so fast?) and SMA continued to tick along in the background, whilst adding a new and exciting product to our range.

Tempdrop is the world's first wearable basal body temperature tracker and makes sympto-thermal fertility tracking a breeze. We are very excited to currently be the sole Australian wholesaler for this product. Tempdrop is such a fantastic company to be working with. They are based in Israel and are ethical, progressive and take a non-judgmental approach to their work. They also have incredible customer support and a whole community of Tempdrop users to tap into.
My journey into motherhood has been the most incredible, fulfilling time of my life so far. Giving birth was hugely empowering and I have now decided to devote this next phase of my life to assisting other people have empowering birth experiences too! I have completed my training with the Australian Doula College and I am now a certified birth and post natal Doula. Check out my website Rosie Doula.

And so the mission here at Sustainable Menstruation Australia continues, grows and expands. Our plan has always been to bring a sustainable mindset to every aspect of the menstrual journey. From Menarche, to menopause and everything in between. The birthing journey is such a fundamental part of that process. The way we birth and parent effects not only our own journey, but the next generation and the entire community. Reclaiming our body, our autonomy in birth is integral to moving towards a sustainable culture, society and future for our planet.
I want to thank all of our customers for your support over the last 7 years since SMA began, and we look forward to the next seven years ahead!
