Income should never be a barrier, but there is a current lack of federal, state, and local financial support for disadvantaged groups.

 

By offering support directly to at-risk individuals, we can ensure their most pressing hygiene needs are met. People experiencing hygiene and period poverty can experience low confidence, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. Children who go to school in soiled and unwashed clothes are at a higher risk of bullying and school conflicts.

 

​Many Americans have to bargain for hygiene, menstrual, and health care products, and will do unsafe things to stay healthy. We believe all people should have access to healthy items for bathing and protection from bleeding through their clothes.

 

Increasing access and educating students and parents on options that improve hygiene and period positivity are the first steps to overcoming trauma associated with hygiene care poverty.
