Helen Rankin is new columnist at The UK Newspaper

Helen Rankin is the founder of Cheeky Wipes & Cheeky Pants, who have been challenging the use of single use, disposable products since 2008 with their range of ‘Simple Reusables’, reusable wipes kits and reusable period protection.  As a Mum of 4 who also runs a business, she appreciates that switching to reusable alternatives needs to be easy and along with her crack team, developed simple questionnaires to help consumers make the swap to cloth wipes or period pants. Helen spends most of her days talking about poo, pee and periods and loves to bust taboos! The business was recognised with a Queens Award for Enterprise in Sustainable Development in 2021, celebrating the fact that since 2016, they have helped save 140 MILLION packs of disposable wipes / sanitary products from landfill.
