WOMEN’S health and wellness have come an exceedingly far way over the years in the Caribbean; it is a topic that is discussed by women and girls of all ages and backgrounds.
Knowing what products to use and what they contain is vitally important in any woman’s journey to health and wellness.
Women’s Haven, the first female Caribbean-owned organic feminine care brand and product line of its kind, offers a 100 per cent organic personal care product line. This includes sanitary pads and liners, medical-grade menstrual cups, tampons, bamboo wipes, yoni oil, yoni wash, womb wellness tea, all-natural deodorant, vaginal pH test strips, and much more.
It was founded and created in November 2017 by Melesia Adderley, and later joined by Meredith Johnson in April 2018. Women’s Haven has since expanded to what it is today with distributors around the Caribbean region. It has globally registered/filed trademarks in the Cayman Islands, Trinidad and Tobago, Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and of course, Guyana.
Located at 57, Hadfield Street, Georgetown, Women’s Haven-Guyana is the sole distributor of Women’s Haven products here. The Executive Director, Lexann McPhoy expressed that the company has products available in more than 70 stores in around 10 Caribbean countries, where women from across the Caribbean can benefit from these wonderful products.
Distribution of these products in Guyana commenced in March 2023, however, Lexann related it was distributed on a smaller scale previously.
According to the distributor, “Our testimonies have been a five star all across the board on these products. Women were able to get rid of infections and yeast infections, recurring infections. They’re able to use our products to ease period pains and cramps. Women have been able to get their period on a regular basis by using our products. We have a fertility package for women who have those issues and they were able to get pregnant. And so our products range, women can use them, girls can use them. And our mission is to raise awareness about the dangers of toxic, traditional sanitary products. And so we provide an alternative and a safer alternative for women and girls.”
She revealed, “We constantly have our bundle deals available in-store and online. So that’s one of the things that we do to give back to our customers.”
Both founders of Women’s Haven are from the Caribbean and are on a mission to provide education and offer 100 per cent organic feminine care products to women and young girls. They sought to help to make a difference and to improve the feminine health and well-being of women around the world.
The journey began with educating women on the dangers of using toxic traditional feminine care products which can cause the development of vaginal infections, irritations, severe bacteria, cancers, fibroids, endometriosis, Polycystic ovary/ ovarian syndrome (PCOS), infertility, among other issues.
They promote research for accurate and correct information on feminine care products, and encourage the switch to natural alternatives.
Women’s Haven products are available at several stores across Guyana including, their Hadfield Street location, Dr. Wilburg’s Medical Services at 11 A1 Peters Hall East Bank Demerara, Cost Cutters Supermarket on Farm Public Road East Bank and Sheriff Street Georgetown, DSL Supermarket, among other agents country-wide.
