✨ Aunt Flow 2023 Impact Report ✨
Case Study
Transylvania University Creates A More Inclusive Bathroom Experience
Case Study
Princeton University Offers Free Tampons and Pads to Students
Case Study
The Period Project at Ohio University
86% of students using products use them because Mother Nature caught them unprepared. Instead of running from the engineering building back to the dorms to grab a tampon and then back to class in time for an exam, having stocked menstrual products helps the student body be exactly what they should be—students who are at school to learn.

claire coder, founder + ceo
Hi! I’m Claire. I founded Aunt Flow after getting my period in public without the supplies needed.
At 18 years old, I dedicated my life to developing a solution to ensure businesses and schools could sustainably provide quality period products, for free, in bathrooms. Our products are made with organic cotton and we are constantly working to reduce our environmental impact! Since 2021, we've donated MILLIONS of period products to menstruators in need. I call this people helping people. PERIOD.®
