EcoWings
What are EcoWings?
A livelihood program of Project Propel, EcoWings focuses on equipping and empowering women from vulnerable communities in Metro Manila and surrounding areas.
​
EcoWings are an environmentally-friendly and cost-effective alternative to disposable menstrual pads.
Each EcoWing is sewn and handcrafted with love by a team of dedicated women.
How are EcoWings Made?
Each EcoWings are handcrafted using FOUR main materials:
-
Cotton. The colorful outer designs are made of 100% pure cotton.
-
Flannel. A softer flannel material was chosen for the inner aspect of the EcoWing that is in contact with the skin.
-
Fleece. Two layers of this ultra absorbent material are stitched inside each EcoWing.
-
Leak-proof Material (PUL). Between the outer cotton layer and the fleece is a thin layer of PUL, which prevents any unwanted leaks from occuring.
A dedicated team of women produce each EcoWing!
