Breaking the Cycle: Making Menstrual Products Accessible for All

Written By Katherine Walusiak

Periods are a natural part of life, but for too many, accessing the products they need is anything but simple. At Period Possible, Inc., we believe no one should have to choose between basic necessities and menstrual hygiene. That’s why we’re on a mission to provide free menstrual products to those in need across Colorado Springs and beyond.

Why Menstrual Equity Matters

Menstrual equity is about more than just access to products—it’s about dignity, education, and opportunity. When individuals don’t have the supplies they need, they miss school, work, and vital social opportunities. The stigma surrounding menstruation only worsens these challenges, making it harder for people to ask for help.

At Period Possible, Inc., we want to change that. We aim to create a world where no one has to struggle for access to pads, tampons, or other essential menstrual products. By ensuring availability through designated pickup locations, we are taking the first step in empowering our community.

How We Help

Unlike other programs that focus on individual deliveries, we provide free menstrual products at specific pickup locations throughout Colorado Springs. This ensures consistent and reliable access while allowing us to support as many people as possible. Our partnerships with local shelters, schools, and community organizations make this work possible.

How You Can Get Involved

You can be part of this change! Here’s how:

  • Donate – Your contributions go directly toward purchasing menstrual products for those who need them.

  • Volunteer – Help us organize and distribute supplies, or lend your skills to support our mission.

  • Spread the Word – Share our mission with friends, family, and social networks to break the stigma and raise awareness.

Let’s Make Periods Possible

Together, we can end period poverty and ensure everyone has access to the hygiene products they deserve. Join us in making a difference—because no one should have to struggle for something as basic as a pad or tampon.
