Rethinking Period Care, From the Material Up.
Saheli Labs is developing biodegradable menstrual care products designed around women's comfort and the planet's future.
The Problem
Periods shouldn't create a plastic problem.
Conventional menstrual products can contain significant amounts of plastic and generate waste that can remain in the environment for years.
At the same time, sustainable alternatives still need to deliver what women actually need:
We believe women shouldn't have to choose between performance and sustainability.

About
Why Saheli?
"Saheli" means friend or companion. We chose the name because menstrual care should feel supportive, trustworthy and designed with women — not simply for them. Saheli Labs brings that philosophy together with science, sustainability and product innovation.
Help Us Build Better Period Care
We're building Saheli Labs with researchers, women, partners and people who believe menstrual care can be better.
Better periods can mean a better planet.
We're starting with one of the most everyday products in women's lives and asking a simple question: can we build it better?
