Breaking the Cycle: How Flower Girl Is Revolutionizing Non-Toxic Period Care
Did you know that the average woman uses over 10,000 period products in her lifetime, many of which contain harmful chemicals like bleach, pesticides, and synthetic fragrances? For female founder Arielle Loupos, these toxic truths were unacceptable. That’s why she created Flower Girl—a brand dedicated to providing clean, sustainable, and non-toxic period care for women. Arielle is breaking down taboos around periods and empowering women to take control of their health with every cycle.
From Problem to Purpose: Arielle Loupos’ Mission to Redefine Period Care
Arielle Loupos is no stranger to the challenges that come with finding safe and effective period products. After learning about the hidden toxins in conventional pads and tampons, she realized that women deserved better. This personal realization fueled her mission to create Flower Girl, a brand that prioritizes transparency, sustainability, and women’s health.

Despite the challenges, Flower Girl has grown into a trusted name in sustainable period care, offering thoughtfully designed underwear and reusable pads that provide protection without compromise.
What’s Really in Your Period Products? The Shocking Truth Women Need to Know
Many mainstream period products contain toxic chemicals that can have serious health implications. Some of the biggest culprits include:
Dioxins – Byproducts of the bleaching process that have been linked to hormone disruption and immune system damage.
Phthalates – Chemicals used in synthetic fragrances that can interfere with hormone regulation.
Pesticide Residue – Found in non-organic cotton, which can contribute to skin irritation and long-term health risks.
Flower Girl provides a safe alternative by using materials that are free from PFOS, PFOA, lead, heavy metals, BPA, and other harmful substances. The brand is committed to full ingredient transparency, ensuring that women know exactly what they’re putting on their bodies.
Sustainability Starts Here: How Your Period Choices Impact the Planet
Beyond health concerns, conventional period care products contribute to an environmental crisis. Consider this:
Over 12 billion pads and tampons are thrown away annually in the U.S. alone.
Most disposable period products contain plastic that takes hundreds of years to break down.
The average pad contains as much plastic as four plastic bags.
Flower Girl is tackling this issue with sustainable alternatives designed to last. By choosing reusable period underwear and pads, women can reduce waste, lower their carbon footprint, and make a lasting impact on the planet—all without sacrificing comfort or effectiveness.
Breaking the Taboo: How to Take Charge of Your Period Care
Arielle believes that empowerment starts with education. Here’s how you can take control of your period health:
Read the Labels – Be aware of what’s in your period products. Avoid synthetic fragrances, dioxins, and pesticide-laden cotton.
Make the Switch – Try non-toxic and reusable options like Flower Girl’s period underwear and pads.
Start the Conversation – Share what you’ve learned with friends, family, and your community. The more we talk about it, the more change we create.
