Review: Here We Flo Period Products – A Complete Game Changer for Me

When it comes to period care, I honestly thought discomfort was just part of being a woman.

For years, I used many of the well-known period products found on supermarket shelves. Like so many women, I experienced irritation, discomfort, feeling overheated, and that constant awareness that I was wearing a pad. Over time, I also experienced episodes of skin burning and soreness that, for me personally, became increasingly uncomfortable. I simply assumed it was normal and something I had to put up with as part of having a period.

Looking back now, I realise how much discomfort I had accepted as "just the way things are." It wasn't until I tried an alternative that I began to understand how comfortable period care could actually be.


After years of irritation, discomfort, and accepting it as normal, I finally found a period product that changed everything.



As someone who suffers from very heavy periods and fast flows, finding products that are both comfortable and reliable has always been a challenge, and most always a let down. So after discovering Here We Flo, and learning more about the company's commitment to using natural materials and creating period products designed by women, for women I decided to give them a go.


From the very first use, I noticed a huge difference. The products felt softer, more breathable, and significantly more comfortable than many conventional alternatives I had used in the past. Gone was the irritation, the uncomfortable feeling of overheating, and the skin soreness and burning that I had personally experienced with some products over the years. For the first time in a long time, I felt comfortable throughout my period without constantly thinking about the product I was wearing. In fact, there have been times when I've almost forgotten I was wearing one at all, that's never happened for me.


One of the things I particularly love is the variety available. Whether you need panty liners, pads, tampons, or products designed for heavier flows or night time, there is something to suit different needs and stages of your cycle. The extra-flow options, with their larger wings and added coverage, have been especially helpful for me during my heaviest days. They even offer a mixed pack pads or tampons, which I think is such a great idea. For me, it’s perfect as a top-up to my supplies, but for many women this could be all they need for the month without having to purchase two or three different packs to cover the different stages of their cycle.



What first drew me to the brand was their focus on more natural materials. Their products are made using organic bamboo and cotton, which I personally find far more comfortable against my skin. After years of accepting irritation, soreness, burning, and discomfort as simply part of having a period, it was refreshing to discover products that felt gentle, breathable, and comfortable throughout the day.


Beyond the products themselves, I was also impressed by the values behind the company.

Here We Flo is a women-owned and operated business that is committed to creating products that are kinder to both people and the planet. Their products are vegan-friendly, and the company is proud to be a Certified B Corporation, meaning they meet high standards of social and environmental responsibility.

I also love that they use recyclable paper packaging, helping to reduce unnecessary plastic waste. Even more inspiring is their commitment to giving back, with 5% of profits supporting people and planet initiatives, alongside monthly donations of period products to menstrual charities.

It's wonderful to see a company not only creating products that work but also actively supporting wider social and environmental causes.


The biggest endorsement I can give is that I've also introduced my daughter to the range. She experiences heavy periods too, and she's been equally impressed with the comfort and performance. As someone who previously relied heavily on tampons, she has been pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and effective these products are.

Sometimes we don't realise that there may be better alternatives available because we've become so used to the products we've always bought. I certainly didn't realise how much discomfort I'd simply accepted as "normal" until I tried something different.

For me, Here We Flo products have been one of those rare finds that genuinely live up to expectations.

Final Thoughts

Everyone's experience is different, but for me, Here We Flo has been a complete game changer. If you've ever assumed that discomfort, irritation, soreness, burning, or feeling uncomfortable during your period is simply something you have to live with, it may be worth exploring alternative options.

After many years of accepting period discomfort as normal, I've finally found products that work for me. Combined with the company's commitment to sustainability, ethical practices, and supporting women, it's a brand I'm genuinely happy to support and recommend.


My only wish, they had come along sooner!!!
