Fighting Period Poverty

Period poverty is a pressing global issue that affects millions of people, denying them access to menstrual products, education, and clean facilities. Shockingly, 500 million people worldwide lack these basic necessities, and in the United States, a staggering 2/3 of low-income women, approximately 16.9 million, struggle to afford menstrual products.

At Sisterhood Surprise, we recognize that period poverty isn’t just an issue of product access; it’s about basic human dignity. That’s why we are committed to doing our part to help end period poverty and make menstrual care accessible to all. While our subscription boxes are designed at a specific price point, many women — especially those in low-income communities — cannot afford even the most basic menstrual products. That’s why we are taking action.

Our Commitment: Supporting Low-Income Communities

As someone who grew up in a low-income family, I understand the reality of choosing between affordability and quality. My parents, like many others, couldn’t always afford clean or organic menstrual products. Instead, we often had to settle for the cheapest options available, regardless of the materials they were made from. This personal experience is what drives us at Sisterhood Surprise. We are committed to changing this narrative and ensuring that all women, regardless of their economic situation, have access to clean, organic, and high-quality menstrual care.

While our subscription box is priced at a specific price point, we recognize that this doesn’t make our products accessible to everyone. That’s why we’re making a conscious effort to contribute to the fight against period poverty. We will donate 10% of our profits to nonprofit organizations like Period.org, which provides menstrual products, education, and advocacy for low-income communities. We also offer single products — such as pads, tampons, undergarments, and liners — that are more affordable and accessible for those who need them most.

Making Organic Menstrual Products Accessible to All

At Sisterhood Surprise, everyone deserves access to safe, organic, and sustainable menstrual products. Our mission is to ensure that organic and eco-friendly options are available to everyone, no matter their economic background.

By donating a portion of our profits, we hope to create a ripple effect that helps alleviate period poverty and raises awareness about the importance of menstrual health and hygiene. Everyone deserves the right to manage their period with dignity — and with Sisterhood Surprise, we are working to make that a reality for as many people as possible.
