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.

How You Can Take Action

Your purchase of any U by Kotex® product will spark a donation to support even more individuals in need of help.

I find it heartbreaking that simple products like this are something women and girls go without because of the cost of the items. For most families food and shelter are a big problem and extras like body care are often overlooked because there is just not enough income to cover daily needs.

This is an excellent initiative and one I would fully support. It is imperative to provide this type of support to vulnerable women and communities, as it is a right and essential to hygiene and wellbeing, overall.

I'm glad Kotex is helping but it's a shame that the products are priced so high

Access to menstrual hygiene products is a basic human right that directly impacts the health, dignity, and overall well-being of individuals who menstruate. Period poverty disproportionately affects marginalized communities, hindering their participation in education, work, and social activities. Organizations like Kotex play a crucial role in supporting this cause through their commitment to providing affordable, high-quality menstrual products. Knowing that Kotex is so committed to helping this cause has made me want to immediately switch to Kotex as my brand of choice for menstrual supplies.

I think this is such an underrated need and should be more at the forefront of charitable causes. This is such a widespread issue and shouldn't be acceptable in 2023.
