We believe in a future where all women and girls, regardless of their social or economic background, can have access to sustainable menstrual health management and live with dignity, hope, and opportunity.

We’ve taken a significant step forward in achieving our mission by introducing a new product line, the pre-cut kits, which provides women with a financially and environmentally sustainable solution

Dignity Kits
A Story of Innovation
In 2020, COVID-19 presented unprecedented challenges to the global supply chain affecting For Her Dignity’s ability to get necessary menstrual supplies to implementation partners. To address this challenge, For Her Dignity simplified and innovated on its design by introducing pre-cut Dignity Kits that could be assembled by implementation partners in the field
Previously, a completed Dignity Kit included pre-sewn liners, leak resistant shields and sometimes underwear. The new pre-cut Dignity Kits exchanged sewn liners for pre-cut liners.
