Menstrual products are a human right, not a luxury. No one should be forced to choose between food and period products, yet so many in our communities have or will.
No one should have to miss school or work, or be forced to use toilet paper, or overuse old period products because of their income.
Everyone deserves to menstruate with comfort and dignity.
This Period Action Day, I’ve partnered with Flo Period Tracker App who are working to help women and people who menstruate prioritize their health, and experience wellbeing throughout their cycle. Nearly 1 in 4 students in the U.S. still can’t regularly access period products, and globally many more. To drive change, we’re hosting a joint fundraiser in aid of Period. Inc., a global youth-fueled nonprofit that strives to eradicate period poverty over on my Instagram. Check it out if you have capacity.

The woman is wearing a pink mesh top, two-toned pink pants with an insulin pump clipped to the waist, and pink shoes. The shelves have pads, tampons, period underwear and menstrual cups. The text reads, ‘no one should have to choose between food and period products.’]
