Our Impact

An estimated 13 million people in the United States menstruate while living in poverty¹. People all over the country miss school and work because they cannot afford period products. These essential items are not covered by benefit programs, and many must make difficult tradeoffs each month. Lacking adequate resources to manage your period can result in missed school or work, health issues, embarrassment, and shame.

Since 2017, we have partnered with Girls Helping Girls. Period. by providing both product and monetary donations to help fight period poverty. To date, we have donated over one million tampons, pads and liners across our feminine care brands (Playtex^®, Stayfree^®, Carefree^®, o.b.^®) to Girls Helping Girls. Period. In 2022, we donated $50,000 and in 2023 we have committed to donate another $50,000 to support the organization.

Girls Helping Girls. Period. is dedicated to educating people about the need for menstrual products, collecting and distributing menstrual products and advocating for systemic change. They supply products to food pantries, social service agencies, and community groups, as well as offer workshops and consulting on affordable menstrual management solutions to individuals, schools and companies.

Join us in the fight against period poverty.

We have always supported women in their reproductive journey, and we believe EVERYONE deserves access to safe care. We believe in standing against any efforts to restrict basic healthcare, safety, and human rights. In 2022 we donated $50,000 to NARAL Pro-Choice America as they continue to fight for reproductive freedom for everybody. NARAL focuses its efforts on the organization and mobilization to protect freedom by fighting for access to proper abortion care, birth control, paid parental leave, and protections from pregnancy discrimination.
