Yeah, I was the guy at Costco today with a cart full of Midol and chocolate.

I haven’t mentioned this in a while. A couple years ago I found out how many lives of people who menstruate are interrupted every month because they can’t afford hygiene products.

I now work with a service club to make period kits for homeless youth. Everything they need for a cycle: tampons, pads, liners, wipes, Midol, chocolate, etc.

I mention this because I didn’t even know about period poverty. Maybe you, too?
