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. Purchasing the product is easy, at every Walmart store - in-store and online.  You can purchase the products here!

It's not something one thinks of with poverty. And it is so important! I love the idea of purchasing products and 2 are sent to those who need it!

it makes me extremely sad that women still even have to pay for these products that are basic needs. I dream of a day when women?s care and rights are taken serious.

No woman should have to worry about period products. Thankfully, this initiative exists.

Having been in that situation myself for years, I can sympathize with this issue. I will encourage my younger friends to buy these products to assist in this cause.

I would like to help with this initiative because periods are an important part of personal health.

Period poverty is something that affects so many females in America. We always think of other countries, but it's here on our doorstep more than you'd ever imagine. I don't know why health insurance doesn't cover period products. Especially when it's something you have for 40+ years

Things would be different, and supplies would be easy to come by if men had periods. Most of our lawmakers are men.

Some of us are gathering products to help those less fortunate and trying to find a way to help the females at the local schools where there is a lot of bullying on the subject going on and the school is refusing to provide donated products. We appreciate the effort that everyone is giving! It really shouldn't be a problem.

It would be nice if teens could cross this problem off their worry list. They have enough to stress about in their lives.

This is so awful that women have to worry about this. It is so awesome of Kotex to help out!
