Access to personal hygiene essentials is something most of us take for granted. But not everyone is so fortunate. We were shocked when we found out that over 500 million women and girls of reproductive age worldwide don’t have the means to properly manage their periods with health, safety, and dignity. This means that they might have to miss school or work simply because they lack proper period supplies and menstrual health education. Some even face shame and stigmatization as a result. The term used to describe this is Period Poverty and it can have a serious impact on families, communities, and nations. And it’s not just in developing countries. According to one study, 1 in 5 teenagers surveyed in the United States have struggled to afford period products. Personal Care Products: Helping Reduce Period Poverty For every personal care product you purchase from our website, we pledge to donate a period kit to a woman in need. We believe that menstrual health should never be a barrier to opportunity, and this initiative is our way of making a positive impact on women's lives. By choosing these products from our partners, you are investing in high-quality personal care items, but you are also helping to provide essential resources to women who might otherwise go without them. Together, we can work towards a more equitable world, where everyone has access to the basic necessities they deserve. Personal Care Item = 1 DfG Period Kit agood company ◣ Days for Girls All the components are reusable and each kit can last up 2 to 3 years when taken care of properly. Period poverty is a pressing issue that affects countless women and girls, around the world. It refers to the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products and proper sanitation facilities, due to financial constraints or limited resources. This scarcity forces many to make difficult choices between buying essential items like food and paying for menstrual products. Period poverty not only poses physical discomfort and health risk but also perpetuates a cycle of shame and stigma around menstruation. Knowing what we now know, we couldn’t stand by and let this happen. That’s why, with each bamboo toilet paper subscription, we’ll provide a period kit to a woman who needs it through the organisation Days for Girls (DfG).
