About A Better Period
Period pants, swimwear, cups and pads... Reusable period products have revolutionalised how we manage menstruation, helping us to massively cut down on waste and plastic use. But what role has science played in driving this change? And what's next? Ruby Raut, CEO of Wuka, is joined by gynaecologist Madhavi Vellayan to discover the impact of these products environmentally and for personal health and hygiene. Chaired by Hazel Wallace.
There will be a book signing after this event.
Get ahead of your Festival reading and visit the Waterstones Cheltenham Science Festival bookshop and support Cheltenham Festivals with every purchase.
