- Empowering Girls. Transforming Lives.
Welcome to Great Being a Girl
For millions of girls around the world, menstruation is more than a biological process—it’s a barrier. Without access to proper menstrual health products, countless girls miss school, fall behind in their education, and face social stigma. Great being a girl is on a mission to change that. We are committed to empowering girls by providing sustainable, affordable, and eco-friendly menstrual health solutions. Through education, community engagement, and menstrual cup distribution, we are transforming the way girls experience menstruation—ensuring they can thrive without limitations.
The Challenges We Are Solving
Why Menstrual Cups?
At Great Being a Girl, we champion the use of medical-grade silicone menstrual cups, a revolutionary and sustainable alternative to disposable menstrual products.
- Eco-Friendly – Unlike pads and tampons, menstrual cups produce zero waste and last up to 10 years.
- Cost-Effective – One menstrual cup can replace thousands of disposable products, saving families money.
- Safe & Hygienic – Made from BPA-free, medical-grade silicone, they are free from chemicals, reducing the risk of infections and irritation.
- Easy to Use & Comfortable – Cups provide up to 12 hours of leak-free protection, allowing girls to focus on school, play sports, and engage in daily activities without worry.
