Meet Aunt Flow at the ISSA North America Show

Our mission is to fight period poverty and stigma! Alongside ensuring that businesses and schools offer free period products for employees and students, our donation program supports activist-led pilot program initiatives and various grassroots nonprofit organizations.

Period poverty is the lack of access to period products and education. We believe fighting period poverty is one of the most tangible steps we can take toward achieving menstrual equality. You can learn more about it on our blog!

Over the years, we’ve seen steady progress nationwide as we continue to advocate for increased access to period products. Here are just a few exciting wins:

1. New York, California, Delaware, and Utah are some of the states that passed laws requiring free menstrual products in public schools.
2. Missouri, Michigan, and Vermont are among the states that have repealed the tampon tax.
3. As of August 1, 2025, Maryland law requires all public middle and high schools to install free menstrual product dispensers in every women's restroom.

Aunt Flow believes in a multifaceted approach to achieving menstrual justice, including service, education, research, advocacy, and investment.

1. Organize menstrual product drives and fundraisers in your community to collect and donate pads and tampons to local shelters and food pantries. 
2. Lead educational workshops in your community about menstruation, sustainable menstrual products, and destigmatizing menstruation. 
3. Apply pressure to policymakers, decision-makers, and local leaders, advocating for policies that improve access to menstrual products and education.
4. Ask your school to include menstruation and menstrual health as part of the educational curriculum. In fact, 77% of students believe there needs to be more in-depth education about menstrual health.
5. Conduct and support more peer-reviewed research assessing the prevalence and health implications of period poverty. This data is important for supporting more grassroots advocacy efforts.
6. Urge schools and businesses to invest in high-quality menstrual products free of cost for everyone.
