Our Story
The idea behind FabLittleBag was born out of a transformative experience, a small yet impactful incident that led to a profound solution. Faced with the reality of flushed tampons and pads causing widespread harm, we embarked on a journey to create a simple yet effective solution.
Despite challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt, our determination and passion prevailed. Today, FabLittleBag stands as a testament to the power of one idea and our commitment to drive change.

Our purpose is to empower people in their most vulnerable moments, to be a symbol of trust and understanding, and to replace awkwardness and anxiety with calm, relaxed confidence. Our values are at the heart of everything we do: we innovate, educate, and advocate for sustainable solutions that deliver a positive impact to women, girls, and the environment.
Our Vision

Giving Back
We are proud to support Refuge, a charity close to our hearts. For every Sixer Pack sold, we donate £1 to Refuge. Refuge is the largest domestic abuse organization in the UK, empowering thousands of women and children to live without violence and fear. By supporting Refuge, we contribute to building a safer and more equitable world for all.
Standing in Solidarity
Our hearts go out to the millions of women around the world suffering from endometriosis. We recognize the challenges they face and stand in solidarity with them, committed to raising awareness and supporting initiatives.
We also stand with women and girls affected by period poverty. Through our #PeriodSupportive initiative, we partner with sports clubs, charities, schools, and employers to highlight this issue and help address it. No woman should be unable to access the products she needs when menstruating.
Period Positivity Initiatives:
FLB extends its commitment beyond education to actively create positive period environments in schools, sports clubs, hospitality, and workplaces. We collaborate with schools, colleges, communities, and environmentally conscious individuals, fostering a collective effort to make a positive impact on our environment.
