Did you know the average American woman uses more than 12,000 tampons in her lifetime? That’s a lot of up-close-and-personal time to spend with a product! Have you ever wondered what these products are really made of? Big companies that sell traditional period products are not required by the government to disclose their full ingredient list. Formerly a global sales executive with Pepsico, Coca-Cola, Nestle and others, Thyme Sullivan believes you have a right to ask what’s in your products. Thyme is a finalist in the Cinderella to CEO Awards, nominated for her work in improving the environment. As Thyme puts it…”Tampons and pads should be free of dioxins, pesticides and toxins – period.” As the Cinderella to CEO Judges put it, Thyme’s energy and passion toward transforming the feminine hygiene product category deserves our full support. Thyme Sullivan started TOP (The Organic Project) to bring awareness to the overwhelming benefits of organic period products and how a small change can impact the world. TOP products are crafted with 100% organic cotton and are 100% biodegradable. Thyme, who is from Monterrey California, believes that every woman should have access to take care of her feminine needs so TOP Organics also partners in communities to donate tampons, pads and liners to those in need. A TOP subscription is more than period products delivered to your door, it’s a change for the good. Go to www.toporganicproject.com and listen to our interview with Thyme Sullivan to find out how she and her team are transforming the world for the better. Listen to Cary Broussard, founder of the Cinderella to CEO Awards and author of the business book - From Cinderella to CEO interview Thyme Sullivan for her podcast, Cinderella CEO On Air.

TOP The Organic Project has been a secret way too long - Thyme Sullivan breaks "the curse" on the tampon taboo during this #C2CEO interview
