For many of us, menstruation is a fact of life, but we don’t often give it much thought. We start our period, we grab a box of pads or tampons, and away we go. However, menstrual hygiene products can be costly and far too many individuals, especially those living in poverty, simply cannot afford them. This is where Tampon Tuesday is helping.
Since 2017, United Way, the Canadian Labour Congress and Bell Media have worked together to raise awareness and collect menstrual products to help address period poverty in our communities by hosting Tampon Tuesday events.
Period poverty is the inability for a person to afford menstrual products. As a result, people facing period poverty often turn to alternate ways to manage their period.
Collect donations in your workplace or school.
Most requested products include pads, cloth pads, tampons, liners, diva cups, and period underwear.
