Why is important to talk about menstrual product?
“We’re not talking about rocket
ships. We’re talking about sanitary
pads. Yet they both have the same
effect. They take you places.”

- Diana Sierra, Founder, BeGirl

On average, menstruators will

have menstruation over 33-40
years of their lifetime.
