Tackling Period Poverty
with Monthlies
Our Commitment to Change
In a world where access to menstrual hygiene products remains a significant challenge for many, Monthlies is on a mission to break down barriers and address period poverty. As college students, we understand the struggles faced by our peers and those in their late 30s, and we are determined to make a difference. Through strategic partnerships and community engagement, we are paving the way for a more inclusive and supportive future.

The Campus Connection:
Empowering Students with Accessibility
Free Products in University Bathrooms
On college campuses, the lack of access to menstrual hygiene products can be a daily struggle for students. Recognizing this, Monthlies has forged partnerships with universities to place free period products in bathrooms across campus. This initiative ensures that, regardless of financial constraints, every student has easy access to the essential products they need. Our goal is to create an environment where menstruation is not a barrier to academic success or well-being.
Exclusive Student Discounts
Understanding the financial pressures faced by students, we are proud to offer exclusive discounts on our period product subscription service. By making high-quality products more affordable, we hope to alleviate the economic burden that menstruation can place on students. Through these discounts, we strive to foster a sense of community and support, empowering students to focus on their studies without worrying about the cost of essential hygiene.

Extending Support for Period Poverty Beyond Campus
Collaborating with Women’s Care Centers
Recognizing that period poverty extends far beyond campus borders, Monthlies has expanded its reach to women’s care centers. These centers play a vital role in supporting individuals who may face additional challenges related to their periods. By collaborating with these organizations, we aim to amplify our impact and provide essential menstrual hygiene products to those who need them most. Together, we can contribute to the well-being and dignity of women in various stages of life.
Reaching the Vulnerable: Those in Need
In our commitment to inclusivity, Monthlies is dedicated to reaching vulnerable populations, including those who face challenges in accessing period products. We understand that long work hours, lack of time to visit a store, or limited transportation to purchase period products can create additional burdens. Our outreach programs are designed to bridge these gaps, offering support and essential products to individuals facing these unique challenges.
