The little sister brand to intimates and apparel company Knix, Kt by Knix, and PERIOD teamed up for a charitable social campaign called #periodovershare that aims to fight both period stigma and poverty.
On social media, the campaign works to normalize conversations about periods and empower people who menstruate so that everyone can feel comfortable sharing their period stories. For the month of May, when users tag @ktbyknix and @periodmovement and use the campaign hashtag on social media, Kt will donate one of its reusable pads or a pair of leakproof underwear to PERIOD. to support BIPOC and LGBTQIA2+ communities.
To kick off the Gen Z campaign, Kt invited content creators Grace Rivers, Sierra Ann, Jasphine Bakhita, Kalista Dwyer, Heather Alysya to tell their own stories.
