Aunt Flow Launches Phlow Philly to Help Make Period Products Widely Available
Aunt Flow® today announced Phlow Philly, a citywide initiative addressing period poverty through coordinated strategies: installing free-vend dispensers in public spaces and distributing 4,500 period kits through trusted community organizations. Period poverty is defined as a lack of access to menstrual products, education, hygiene facilities, waste management, or a combination of these, which can lead to physical, emotional, and mental challenges that have both short- and long-term implications. The Phlow Philly program will reduce barriers to care, improve menstrual health education, and build access for underserved communities. Through a separate initiative, Aunt Flow® is also partnering with the School District of Philadelphia to ensure student access to menstrual products through the installation of 136 free-vend dispensers in School District facilities.
