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 am shocked at the statistics. I grew up poor, but never in a million years did I ever have to worry about not having pads or tampons. I cannot even fathom this feeling. My parents made sure I had what I needed, even if that meant they had to go without something.

Having two daughters, I don't find these statistics surprising. Maybe if prices didn't keep going beyond affordability and if we could find coupons like we used to, this wouldn't be such an issue.

So embarrassing to have a period accident, especially as a teen. Anyone who has periods should have access to period supplies.

Periods should be the very last thing middle school and high school girls have to worry about! Everyone should have access to the supplies they need.

Love that kotex gives back. Sometimes it's not easy for women to afford the basic needs.

I learned more than what I already knew about Period Poverty. Period products are expensive and I know a local homeless shelter near me always has those type of products on the wish list. I already purchase this product and will continue to do so. I personally experience heavy periods and I could not even imagine being without what I need.
