A menstruating person uses around 17,000 disposable monthly sanitary products in the course of their life. By using Taynies, this waste is minimized and the impact on the environment is significantly reduced.

With period underwear, you are making a major contribution to reducing pollution of our environment and oceans. The use of conventional menstrual hygiene products such as tampons and pads creates mountains of plastic and microplastic waste.

This is clear when every menstruating person uses 17,000 disposable hygiene products in the course of their life. We think that's a lot: That's quite a lot! That's why we've made it our mission to offer an alternative to these mountains of waste. Because environmental and animal protection is our top priority! 🌎 💙

Transparency and fairness towards our employees and end consumers

It takes a long time for a Taynie to be delivered to your home, and many hard-working hands are involved. From the people on the cotton plantations to the people who pack your period underwear in an environmentally friendly way and then ship it climate neutrally.


BSCI- an important standard for us
Our production facility in China, in Guangdong to be precise, is a member of the BSCI. This is an initiative that supports companies in improving social standards along the entire value chain. This initiative helps to ensure that local employees are paid fairly, that regular working hours are observed and that child and forced labor are strictly prohibited. We have these regulations regularly checked on site.

For the sake of the environment and you. Harmful substances have no place in our underwear
You can be sure that you won't find any harmful substances in our period underwear, because our products are Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certified. This means that all Taynie products have been tested for harmful substances - from the yarn to our Taynie membrane - and have been found to be harmless. We do not use any highly controversial biocides in our underwear. biocideswhich can not only harm you, but are also extremely bad for the environment.


Compensate for CO2 emissions
When selecting the production location, it was also important to us that short supplier routes are maintained. We source our certified organic cotton from neighboring plantations near Guangdong. This means that we do not have to travel any further for the materials and raw materials we need. The production and shipping of the goods results in unavoidable CO2 emissions. In cooperation with Planetly, we offset these emissions through certified climate protection projects- As of March 2021, we have already offset 19 tons of CO2.


We are constantly optimizing
As sustainability has never been more important than it is today, we are constantly refining our sustainability strategy. Our constant search for new solutions means that it is always changing - and therefore, as we see it, never 'finished', but always in a phase of inquisitive discovery.
We also welcome constructive comments, tips and suggestions.
It is important to us to always take a holistic approach: Avoiding packaging waste alone is not enough if, for example, well-intentioned actions lead to people being exploited elsewhere or children having to work.
