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

Taking action is as simple as purchasing your U by Kotex® products at Walmart from now until 9/28. Your purchase of any U by Kotex® product will spark a donation to support even more individuals in need of help. Purchasing the product is easy, at every Walmart store - in-store and online.  You can purchase the products here!

I love when there is a program to help women. We have so many things to worry about, our period shouldn't be one of them.

What a wonderful program! Girls already feel uncomfortable enough during this time and don't need an additional stressor!

1000 years ago when I was facing puberty my mother ordered a big box with various supplies along with a book to answer all my questions. She happened to be out of town when I actually started for the first time and that box was an amazing lifesaver at the time. A girl's period is such a weird time to begin with, I can't imagine the uncomfortable feelings of not having the needed products. I love this initiative.

My mother grew up in the 50s and they didnt have pads. I believe the Pads with Belts came in the 60s. Pads didnt come until some time in the 70,s. . I think this is a good thing to do this. We have come a long way

This is really excellent. No one should have to stay home because they don't have products for their period. I wish that we could also make donations that would enable products being given to schools so that they would have them on hand for those that need them.

This is terrible. A girl this age should not ever have to worry about not having these supplies or having to go without! In my opinion, schools should have to provide these products if needed, and it may be a big help if these products were more affordable. Its absolutely ridiculous how much period supplies cost these days. This is an excellent cause! U go Kotex, for getting this started and thinking about our youth in need!! Just the way it should always be!

Periods should not put a period in a girl's life. If supplies to manage a period are not available, girls may feel forced to stay home or opt out of activities. Let's end period poverty in order to cultivate enriched lives.
