This is not a period product but for 1 in 3 poor and low-income people with periods, toilet paper pads are their only option. Let's work together to ensure menstrual equity for all.

Tampons aren't luxury items, yet 20 states still tax them as such instead of recognizing them as material basic necessities. Urge your elected officials to support legislation that would end the sales tax on period products at the link in our bio!

This is not a substitute for a pad or a tampon. If you’ve ever had to use it in a pinch, even for a small part of your day, you know how stressful it can be to have to rely on toilet paper for period protection.

Great news! New Jersey recently passed a bill to require that period products be provided in shelters free of charge. This important bill will help provide those in shelters across NJ with access to the products they need to thrive.
