Why We Do What We Do
Millions of women in the United States find it tough to pull together funds to pay bills and buy groceries. Since menstrual products are not convered by food assistance programs, there isn’t always enough left over for a $7 box of tampons or pads. Women resort to using rags, socks, or even plastic bags.
Beyond a critical health problem, it’s upsetting – amd even shocking – that every woman in America doesn’t have access to these products.
