A Plethora of Period Products

Help me give my students feminine products to leave in the bathroom so they can access it anytime they need to.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tina Alcain's classroom raised $411

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school provides some feminine products to go in the bathroom when the girls need it, but they are the “old school” pads that are rather thick and bulky, and do not provide tampons at all. This project will help to provide the females at our school with teenage sized pads and tampons, as well as pantyliners for those light days.

Many of our students have a hard time providing feminine products for themselves, and this project will give them one less thing to worry about.

Pads and tampons are always available in the bathroom closest to my classroom, and some students come out of their way because they know they will always be provided for. So many girls have said that our supplies have saved them numerous times from having an accident. Being able to give my girls this one simple thing makes me feel warm and fuzzy all the time!
