Menstrual Hygiene Day

Campaign Image: Pain Stories

No one should be limited by something as natural and normal as menstruation. Essity strives to empower everyone to manage her menstruations safely, hygienically, with confidence, and without shame. We advocate this day, and throughout the year around the importance of breaking stigma’s around periods and accessibility to menstrual facilities.
