Go With the Flow

Phoenix, AZ

Go With The Flow was created in 2017 after its Executive Director Demetra Presley, learned about a teacher who started to keep bags filled with menstrual hygiene products in her classroom because she was frequently approached by her students requesting period products. After reaching out to local parents and school staff, Demetra's concerns were confirmed, that school budget restrictions did not allot for an adequate supply of menstrual hygiene products to students and the limited supply that was available, was often provided at the expense of school staff. An even more troubling find however was learning about the different ways students themselves would offset their needs by making makeshift pads and tampons from socks, towels, toilet paper, or other miscellaneous items, rationing the items they had which meant extending their use and subsequently, increasing the possibility of getting infections, or not attending school at all to eliminate the chance of staining their clothes and facing ridicule from their peers.
