West Cork-Based Company Launch Subscription Box of Eco-Friendly Period Products Gary Grimes | Last updated 10:25 AM, May 21 2021 GMT+1 A burgeoning new Irish business that is aiming to bring period products into the twenty first century and reduce the use of plastic? We really do love to see it. A new company called Riley, based in Schull in Co. Cork, has recently launched a subscription box service which aims to supply people who have periods with safe, premium-quality hygiene products that will do as little damage to the environment as possible.

For every box sold, €1 goes to Development Pamoja, a registered Irish charity based in Kenya. This initiative supplies sanitary products to young girls, and stocks the development s medical clinics.
