'Conscious Period' launched a new initiative to provide menstrual products for women in need. In many parts of the world, women lack easy access to [tampons and sanitary pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ecofriendly-tampons). This campaign aims to make sure all women have access to the supplies needed to manage their periods.

Conscious Period's new campaign involves using the 'one-for-one' model to supply women with menstrual products. Each time a consumer purchases a product from Conscious Period, the company will donate supplies to women in need. All of the products are BPA-free and the [sanitary pads are even biodegradable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joni). The initiatives thus ensures that all women have access to healthy period products.

The company is currently running an Indiegogo campaign to fund the dual-giving model. If successful, Conscious Period also plans to partner with homeless shelters to support the women in the communities they serve.
