01 May 2024 --- According to the Alliance for Period Supplies’ (APS) study, one in three women struggle to purchase period products in the US. Aiming to end period poverty and raise awareness for the growing need for access to period care, two-period products will be donated to APS for every U by Kotex or Thinx product purchased in-store or online at Walgreens until June 30. Ballard Brief defines period poverty as the lack of information and education about menstruation and access to menstrual products. The research library says it affects all menstruators — especially those who are low-income, homeless, in college, imprisoned or transgender.
