Did you know?
- Research from U by Kotex® finds that two in five women struggled to purchase period products due to lack of income.
- Over one-third 38% of low-income women report missing work, school or similar events due to lack of access to period supplies.
- Lack of access to period supplies is linked to using substitute products, stretching product usage and even missing work, school or other important events.
Addressing the need for period products, often referred to as “period poverty,” is something that the nonprofit Alliance for Period Supplies and its founding sponsor U by Kotex® are committed to. The With U She Can program is raising awareness of the consequences that a lack of access to period products can have on the lives of individuals living in poverty, and inspiring individuals and communities to take action.

I truly believe this should not be a barrier for anyone! It can be embarrassing for a teen to not have necessary period products on top of all the other problems teens face.

I was happy to learn that my state has passed legislation requiring schools, shelters and public universities to make period supplies available.

This is the worst issue to ever face women. It shouldn't ever be a problem at all.

I did not know the statistics regarding Period Poverty thanks for sharing this is for a good cause.

wow this was insightful and concerning

I can't believe this is an issue - thank you Kotex for helping out!

I feel so awful that this is a problem for women.

Can't imagine facing this sort of issue - kudos to Kotex

Period products aren't a luxury, they aren't a "want" , they are an absolute necessity and the fact that so many women & girls don't have access to them is infuriating and sad. I donate to my local woman's shelter whenever I can because I know what it's like to have absolutely no money but have to allocate what little funds you have to Period products instead of food. Period products should be available to every woman/girl no matter their ability to pay. Don't even get me started on the government taxing them. This is a great program, good for them for giving back. Having the supplies you need can change a girls life, especially when dealing with extreme poverty. Thanks for highlighting this.

The With U She Can program is excellent! I will definitely purchase U by Kotex® products at Walmart.

This is a great program

The amount of times I had women ask me for some because they couldn?t afford it and that I had to do the same is heartbreaking.

I remember sometimes my family struggled with getting feminine products This program is awesome and we use U by Kotex Such a great program
by princessducky | CHICAGO, IL
It's a great campaign because feminine products are so expensive. I think all girl/women should get some aid in affording these products.
by icefairy | San Diego, CA
I wasn't aware of this issue until now. I'd sure like to help with the initiative to make period products more accessible to women in need.
