Learn how your purchase of period underwear from Sustainable Underwear Australia can provide period undies to remote Aboriginal women through DonateMate.
Quick answer

Why period underwear donations matter
Period poverty affects many women in remote Aboriginal communities, where access to affordable, sustainable period products is limited. Period underwear is a reusable, eco-friendly solution that can be washed and worn for years, reducing waste and ongoing costs. By donating these items, you help address both environmental and social equity issues.
How donations are delivered
Sustainable Underwear Australia partners with DonateMate to ensure your donation reaches women in remote communities. The donation items are listed on the site, and when you purchase one, the equivalent product is distributed through established networks. This model ensures that your support translates directly into physical products for those who need them.
