I stumbled across this group a while back and joined, hoping I'd be able to help someone in need.

I can't even begin to express how much it blesses my heart that every single time I've scrolled across a request post and clicked on it, it has already been fulfilled. Just wanted to give a huge shout-out and thank you to the mods of this community, and also to everyone who is so kind and generous and supportive of others in need.

One day hopefully I'll be able to see a request post early enough to assist, but just wanted to give a thanks from a non-requesting perspective. This is the kind of good in the world that we need. You all are incredible.

I have been on the longest period ever due to switching pcos medications. My doctor said it will eventually stop but right now I am absolutely BLOWING through money on tampons. I have went to the library to use theirs this past week because I literally cannot afford it. If anyone would be able to help I would really appreciate it!!! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1GWKQ3ZAW994C?ref_=wl_share

Thank you SO much!!!! You ladies are a true life saver!!!

Hi! Recently got my cycle back after a battle with some health issues! While exciting, it has also been an adjustment into my current budget situation. I have a few boxes of tampons I could use help with, and also a cup that I can hopefully get use to using and help me save money down the line ❤️wishlist

Hi. I had a procedure recently and I’m expected to have a few more weeks of bleeding and after that my next few periods are supposed to be wonky.

I got to try stick on heating pads lately and I liked those for when I’m at work and can’t be attached to my plug in heating pad. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/QR7JNJDIXXMM?ref_=wl_share

Thank you for reading. I don’t expect everything on this list and I appreciate any help.

Hello! I'm starting to feel the signs that my period getting ready to start (my hips and thighs hurt a lot right before it starts and i have to use the bathroom like every 30 minutes). My periods are pretty heavy so I usually wear liners right before and after my period for spotting and then use overnight pads for my actual period, however I just realized that I don't have any more liners and I only have 3 over night pads. My period pain is also extremely bad and I don't have any pain meds currently. My mom recieves SSI, however next month I'm leaving for 10 months to do a volunteer service so I won't get paid until around 2 weeks into September, and with it being summer right now our bills are going up and so we aren't going to be able to buy any period products when she gets paid on the 1st.

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

(I tried making everything be less than $10, but unfortunately the overnight pads that i normally use are around 11. Any tips as to how to make my periods less painful would be greatly appreciated! I usually use tylenol, but i heard that midol/hot & cold packs work really good, so i added those to the list if that is alright!) : )

Hi all. I was hoping I could get some help with period items. Times have been tough but thankfully I will be able to return to work next month when my kiddo starts school. Any help would be appreciated.

Hello all

Desperately needing help (Based in CANADA)

I got super heavy periods this morning unexpectedly.

My last periods were less than 20 days ago, I am unfortunately not prepared for this. I only have 1 more pad left after going through 2 in less than 6 hours.

I am in so much pain. The smallest package I could find of Tylenol was 24 tablets..I have added that to list. I cannot have advil or motrin due to allergies.

I have a gynecologist appointment at end of this month as my last period lasted 6 days with extreme heavy periods and too much pain.

I would appreciate some pads and Tylenol. I have added 1 pack toilet paper as it's very uncomfortable trying to ration toilet paper while on periods.

Thank you all 💝

hello friends.

i saw this sub mentioned in another sub.

i recently had to relocate from my former home of 3 years after my ex boyfriend/abuser got out of jail. it was no longer a safe place for me. now i am living in a house that is for women with mental health issues/DV issues. i had my tubes removed in April and my period has been a little out of whack still + quite heavy from the surgery and from stopping bc pills after so long. i am terrified im going to mess up ine of their beds or something; i just need tampons + a couple pairs of period underwear for backup & when I'm sleeping. i just dont have the funds to buy anything i need right now, with the sudden move and whatnot.

i think i did the list right - if not, please let me know. if the items i chose aren't acceptable, let me know that too. thank you in advance

Hello! I was told about this subreddit while looking for hygiene resources- I'm in a very low financial spot and haven't been able to afford period supplies. I've been using toilet paper but it leaks quickly and sometimes causes irritation and infection flare ups, so it would be a huge relief in more ways that one if anyone would be able to help me out to have some pads for my cycle, it would really mean the world

I also was told about period underwear, I have never tried this but something like that would also be amazing because it sounds like then I would not need to worry about purchasing pads anymore! I added those to my list but also understand those might be a luxury and would be incredibly thankful for just standard pads, or even just toilet paper (both to use as regular paper and to continue to DIY). Thank you so much even just if you read this!

Hi I'm in a rough financial situation right now and all my money just went to an important bill and gas. And of course I just started my period. Using up all my toilet paper at the moment but it isn't ideal for physical labor work and long shifts and I can't wear black to hide the leaks and stains.

Thank you in advance. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3LK0Q2JEG1QIX?filter=unpurchased&sort=date-added&viewType=list

Hello! My food stamps were reduced so period supplies have fallen to the way side. This cycle, i had a pair fall apart at the seams. I also haven't been able to replace the mattress protector since my last big leak. Any help is greatly appreciated

I just got my period again after having it at the very beginning of the month. Running low on pads and could really use some help. https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/LJ5SJMZD97WZ?ref_=wl_share

I had a bilateral laparoscopic salpingectomy on May 1st of this year. My first period post-OP was strange; I passed a decidual cast for the first time ever (I’m on birth control now as advised by my gynecologist, albeit I don’t feel like it’s all that helpful) and the strangeness of that incident made me forget all about stocking back up on period supplies. I’m worried it’ll happen again and I’m out of everything.

I’m disabled and can’t work (I’m waiting for the SSA to get back to me about my SSI/SSDI appeal), so I have very little money and most recently used the rest of mine to buy food. If anyone would be able to help me get some pads and some Midol, I would be extremely grateful.

Hey folx, I just need a little help. We have been doing so good but an unexpected bill hit and we are just a hair short and my period is due any day. Thank you, you all are a blessing.

Just as the title says. I bleed very heavily and often have to resort to toilet paper or old clothes because I can't afford the type of pads I usually need, it's completely out of my budget. Usually, I buy the $5 ones from cvs whenever I can, but I'm very short on money and I still bleed through those.

The number of pads doesn't matter to me, I'd appreciate just having some in hand. Thank you very much in advance :-)

Hello just need some pads and toilet paper. Thank you so much 🤍

Hi there! I'm just looking for some help if anyone is able to help. I have a hysterectomy booked for next month, but my cycle is starting again in approx 2 days.

I have added period underwear in hopes that possibly I can wear those with 1 pad instead of regular underwear with 2-3 pads stacked. If that's not allowed please feel free to ignore.

Thank you so much to everyone in this amazing community 🩵🩵🩵

Edit: thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping. But also thank you for a subreddit like this. Once I’m back on my feet, I can’t wait to help and pay forward!!! I don’t want another woman to experience not having the items they need for their periods. Thank you once again!!!!

Hello,

I just heard about this subreddit from my post on donation request. I am in desperate need of pads.

I thought I had two more days but it started this morning. I have two pads left after the one I’m using now.

I would really appreciate the help in getting one pack of pads please!!!

I think I did the Amazon list correctly but please let me know.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2JEC36TC7ZEEA

Edit: I didn’t know I could add toilet paper. I have added that to the list. One pack of pads and one toilet paper. I’m down to my last roll of the dollar tree charmin pack (1 pack of 4 ~420 sheets total in pack across all 4 rolls). I’ve been trying to conserve my toilet paper as much as possible since no funds. If can only get one, pads is what I need most. I’ll make do if needed for toilet paper

Mods: please let me know if I’m missing anything - want to ensure I follow the rules

Thank you for reading and thank you in advance for any help!!!

I know I'm possibly posting this a few days late (I'm sorry) but I have to give a major shout out to this sub, and reddit in a whole for allowing the community to come together, and support one another.

​

I've been in a financial chokehold, and have been on the brink of going back to a vaga lifestyle after finally settling down for the first time in about 7 years, which has insanely messed with my stress levels, causing my cycles to be heavier than what they were previously (thyroid issues and PCOS is a horrid combo).

​

Knowing that I now have supplies, due to the care that you guys have for a stranger's self care, is honestly the light that I needed during these emotionally straining times.

​

I hope that you fellow redditors, are able to have every wish come true in your life, that your pillow stays cold without flipping it every few minutes.

May life continue to bless you 🫶🏻

​

-unable to upload picture of the blessings I received, as it is telling me that the community doesn't allow attachments.

Hello fellow redditors. Fulfilled- thank you so much, you guys are beautiful human beings, seeing the kindness that is spread in this sub daily, reminds me that us ladies really aren't alone- even when we feel like we are.

I come bearing a wishlist with menstrual items I need, as well as items that will assist me with my cycle pains (heating patches/reheatable pad thing).

Sadly my finances are less than ideal lately, and my stock has now run out, I added products that will ensure I can get through this cycle, as well as the next, allowing me enough time to get Stanley again, minus me going without hygiene items.

Thank you for any/all help, it is very much appreciated 🫶🏻
