Why Pads for Peers
Access works best when students can use it.
Products alone are not enough if students cannot get them when they need them. Our school-based model centers access, choice, privacy, and continuity.
The need
No student should have to manage without what they need.
The school day is easier when menstrual care is dependable and discreet.
Without an accessible option, students may have to ask staff, find an informal solution, or go without products. Pads for Peers works through schools to make support easier to find and use.

Beyond products
Open conversation matters, too.
The Breaking Barriers Blog and educational outreach create space for information about menstruation, period poverty, and wellness. These resources support the more open culture our mission calls for.
