Now that’s worth protecting.

Who’s with us?

Our Pillars

They say good things come in threes.

Better For You, Better For The Environment and Better For The Community, are our trinity, building up to our Better World pursuit.

Periods call for TLC. That’s why we’re committed to products that are gentle, free from nasties and that promise to be kind to your body. Moving with the confidence that you’re making healthy fem hygiene choices makes that time of the month that easier (so you can get back to doing the stuff you love, sans worry).

BETTER FOR YOU

1. We’re elemental chlorine free

Our products are made from elemental chlorine free material. Elemental wha? Without getting too science-y on you, this means our products don’t release pollutants called ‘dioxins’ (created in other methods of getting the same job done) into the world or your body.

2. Forget the fragrance

We say ‘hell no’ to fragrances. While we’re all about delicious smelling spritzes and your signature rollerball fragrance, our products will keep you ‘fresh’ in other ways. Why? We don’t want to throw the delicate pH balance of ‘down there’ out of whack.

3. Dermatologically tested, so you can truly feel good in your skin

All of the delicate materials we use to create our famous pads, tampons and liners have been trialled and tested to keep your skin free from irritation. (Yas!) We’re in the biz of helping you forget that your period is even underway. No time for itching, scratching or any dreaded discomfort. Nobody’s got time for that.

4. Bio-based tampon core = Our tampons are good to the core

It’s what’s on the inside that counts. For us the inside, the very core of our tampons, is made from renewable materials. Kind to you and kind to the environment.

5. Product safety approved materials

Each and every element of your Libra pads, tampons and liners has gone through an intense quality and safety check by our specialist team. These passionate experts are meticulous, ensuring our pads, tampons and liners are entirely safe to use. Assessments include analysis of chemical impurities, toxicological tests and human dermal safety studies, such as repeat insult patch tests. The ultimate mission? Providing products that are safe and kind to your skin.

6. We have standards

Our Springvale manufacturing palace (where all the magic happens) holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditation. Scratching your head? These are basically standards that measure against quality and environmental management, to ensure we’re always making the absolute best pads, tampons and liners around.

Fact: Mother Earth matters. We know that the recycling of our product packaging is oh so important to reduce our environmental footprint. Let’s tread carefully, together

There’s a bigger impact at stake here. With the community at the forefront of our every move, we consider the social impact of our actions. That’s what makes our world a place worth living in, ladies.

Qs on our sustainability journey

Is your packaging recyclable?

Our environmental footprint matters to us, a lot.

We want to tread in fluffy slippers on our path to maximum sustainability, not stiletto heels. So what’s the deal? Our tampon boxes are made from cardboard (which is a MAJOR green light on the recycling road) and our plastic packaging is recyclable via soft plastic collection programs.

If you hail from NZ, you can find your soft plastics drop off points here. Unfortunately, in Oz soft plastic recycling is temporarily unavailable, but we hope it will be back soon. You can find out the latest at the Australasian Recycling Label website.

Where are Libra products made?

The only pads, tampons and liners made in Australia for over 30 years are from yours truly, Libra.

Our homebase is the mecca of all things coffee, avocados, activewear and fabulous pads and tampons. That is, Melbourne. We like to keep things nice and local, manufacturing, packaging and styling up our products right hurr.

Why does Libra use plastic?

We’ve looked at the long game and made a compromise.

Considering more than just the disposed product (that’s after you’ve unwrapped a pad or uncased a tampon), we’ve gone for a ‘bigger picture’ approach. Paper is a cool guy – renewable and recyclable.

BUT, paper is also heavier and less waterproof when compared to our nifty plastic packaging. Plastic is supreme, being lighter and thinner, meaning we’re able to limit the fossil fuels that go into the production and transportation of all things Libra.

It’s also recyclable via our clever friends at Soft Plastic Recycling in New Zealand. Unfortunately, in Oz soft plastic recycling is temporarily unavailable, but we hope it will be back soon. You can find out the latest at the Australasian Recycling Label website.

Do you employ local workers?

Damn straight sister.

We employ over 200 workers in Australia and New Zealand across all areas of biz: Product Development, Manufacturing, Safety, Marketing, Sales, Customer Service, Supply Chain and all other parts of our company.

We’re passionate about supporting local and giving back to the community.

Is there chlorine bleach in Libra tampons?

Our products are ‘elemental chlorine free’. Huh?

This means our products don’t release pollutants called ‘dioxins’ (created in other methods of getting the same job done) into the world or your body. No thank you!

Are Libra products free from fragrance?

Yes. We love perfume and we’re spritz-happy gals. But when it comes to our pads, tampons and liners, we keep everything blissfully fragrance-free. Why? Our products are here to help your period be oh-so more manageable, comfortable and can-do-able.

Ain’t nobody got time for any irritation caused by fragrance. Instead, we focus on breathability to ensure you stay hella fresh down there.

Do you have reusable products?

Have got you covered. Our Period Proof Underwear can be used alongside your other Libra products or as a reusable alternative to single-use products.

How do I make sure Libra products are safe to use?

Your Libra pads, tampons and liners go through intense quality and safety checks by our team of specialists. Their job is to ensure every material fulfils legal requirements, is entirely safe to use, and is kind and gentle to your skin. Our Springvale manufacturing palace (think of this as a fortress of fem hygiene products) holds ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditations. Numbers and acronyms decoded, these are some pretty awesome standards that test us against quality controls and environmental management. They keep us in check so that we can confidently deck you guys out with the best pads and tampons around.
