Hi My name is Elonga Bashombana

I’m a 22-year-old chemistry student going through my last year of university.

As a Black woman passionate about women’s health, I’ve learned how little we talk about what’s actually in our period products and the truth is shocking. Most pads are made of up to 90% plastic, filled with synthetic chemicals that can irritate our skin and harm our environment.

I am the founder of FlowTime — a new brand of 100% biodegradable, plastic-free pads made from bamboo and natural fibers.

I’m raising funds to cover the cost of prototype production, eco-friendly packaging, and safety testing so I can bring FlowTime to life and make sustainable period care accessible for every woman.

If you believe we deserve safer, cleaner products, please donate or share this campaign.

Together, we can make periods better for us and for the Earth
