Cycle Sisters

Hey there, I'm Natalie, a 16-year-old from the Boston area. Let me tell you about Cycle Sisters, the non-profit project I created with a mission close to my heart: ensuring that everyone has access to essential period products. Because, let's face it, when it comes to periods, we all need a little support from one another! Our story of Inspiration: Entering an airport bathroom I noticed a crowd gathered around a period product dispenser. Curious, I approached and saw a young unhoused woman not too much older than me. Her pants were stained, and she was desperately attempting to purchase a tampon out of a broken machine with her last quarter. Witnessing her struggle and the collective scramble of women digging through their bags to help her, a realization hit me: the lack of free accessible period products is a real problem. This moment sparked the idea for Cycle Sisters and our dedication to making sure no one is left behind when it comes to something as fundamental as their period.
