Sustainability
At Smoon, we have the Moon in our sights but our feet on the ground.
Our goal was not only to create comfortable and effective protection but also to ensure it has a minimal impact on the environment. No compromises!
Reduce my ecological impact
Did you know? 3 years of periods means over 780 tampons thrown in the trash and 13.86 kg of CO2 released into the atmosphere. Thanks to our panties, reduce the impact of your cycles on climate change by 3 times.

MADE TO LAST
A tampon is worn for 6 hours, then thrown in the trash, just like 45 billion menstrual products every year. Terrible when you know it takes over 500 years for each tampon to decompose!
Because we care about the planet – and your wallet – we have partnered with the best suppliers to create quality products that will last you a long time. Durability tests conducted in an independent laboratory have shown that our panties can be worn for at least 40 menstrual cycles, which is about 3 years.
3 TIMES LESS POLLUTING THAN TAMPONS
We suspected it: the environmental impact of our panties is three times lower than that of tampons. To be sure, we conducted a Life Cycle Analysis – a study of the impact of our panties, from raw materials to end of life, including transportation, packaging, and washing – following the methodology of ADEME (the Agency for Ecological Transition). The numbers speak for themselves!

How have we minimized our environmental impact?
Traceability of our production chain
To reduce our impact, we have chosen partners close to us—both geographically and in the values we share! Committed to environmental preservation themselves, they all comply with the European REACH regulation and are ISO 14001 certified.
All our products are also OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified. This means they are tested and contain no substances harmful to your health.
FLYING ONLY TO THE (S)MOON
Our seamless technology has taken us to Tunisia, a neighboring country known for its expertise in handmade underwear. To reduce our footprint, products are shipped by boat rather than by plane: transporting a pair of panties between Tunisia and France produces fewer greenhouse gases than sending an email with an attachment!
