Clean & Conscious Silver and Editor's Choice Award Winner 2026

It was ambitious, entering our pads into the 2026 Clean & Conscious Awards before we'd even hit 12 months of trading — but we did it anyway. We knew the product was high quality and performed well, in packaging unique to the industry, with a mission that's genuine and relevant, backed by our high standards for sustainability and protecting the environment. So we pushed go and entered our Organic Cotton Pad Pouch – 30 Pack into the Best Period Product category.

To our delight, we were shortlisted as one of the top 5 products, alongside two other brands. We sent our products off to the three judges assigned to our category — Amelie, Iasmim and Molly — and waited patiently for the verdict.

This week we finally received the news: Half of Us has won Silver for Best Period Product. To our delight, we also received the Editor's Choice Award — a special distinction given personally by the awards' founder, Emily Fletcher, after she hand-assessed the official finalists. It recognises products that stand out for their superior quality, ethical production, and positive social and environmental impact.

A big congratulations to our fellow finalists, and a huge thank you to the Clean & Conscious Awards for recognising a fledgling business trying to make a difference to Australian women and how periods are perceived and managed.
