X Trillion

Part of Climate Action! Festival: Women in Activism
Followed by a panel discussion with Helen Rankin (Managing Director of Cheeky), Lily Hallam (Depot employee and plastic free period product advocate), and Emily Thrift (PhD researcher in the School of Life Sciences at the University of Sussex), whose her research focuses on plastic pollution in terrestrial ecosystems, investigating how microplastics are being ingested by UK mammals, insects, and birds of prey.

A journey that promises to change not only the women's lives but the very future of our planet.

X Trillion follows fourteen women as they sail a gruelling 3000 miles across the North Pacific Ocean to one of the most remote places on Earth, but also the location of the densest accumulation of ocean plastic – the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.​

A life-affirming, optimistic story of adventure, discovery, science and solidarity.

Cheeky Pants is proud to sponsor the screening of XTrillion, a powerful documentary shining a light on the global crisis of plastic pollution. At Cheeky Pants, we believe change starts with small, conscious choices—like ditching single-use period and incontinence products for reusable, planet-friendly alternatives.

Founded on a mission to make reusables simple and accessible, our award-winning range of period pants and washable pads helps people feel confident and comfortable, without the waste. Every product we create is designed with sustainability, affordability, and real-life bodies in mind—because protecting the planet shouldn’t come at a premium.

With millions of disposable pads and tampons ending up in landfill and oceans every day, the need for change has never been clearer. We're here to be part of the solution—supporting conversations, communities, and campaigns that champion environmental responsibility and empower people to make impactful choices.

Join us in saying goodbye to single-use. It’s time to make periods (and leaks) plastic-free.
