Frequently Asked Questions
What is a period pack?

What items are on your wish list?
Regular size tampons, individually wrapped pads, panti-liners, and sanitary wipes, and cosmetic bags such as Clinique, Ipsy and Estee Lauder bags.
Why not distribute re-usable pads or menstrual cups?
We do not accept donations of or distribute re-usable pads or menstrual cups because the population we serve may not have access to a place where they can adequately clean these items, which could become a health risk.
Why not distribute super or super-plus size tampons?
These present more of a risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome if worn too long, so we prefer to provide regular size tampons to those in need.
