Mission

UnTabooed is committed to breaking the taboo surrounding menstruation by providing menstrual health education and sustainable menstrual products to women* in need, and promoting conversation among people everywhere.

Vision

UnTabooed will destigmatize periods by educating women about menstruation and alternative menstrual products that can save them money, save the planet, and save them the hassle of worrying where their next pad or tampon is coming from. Starting in New York City, we want to use reusable menstrual products to help women take a step out of poverty. We aim to take away the shame and the “ick factor” that most women associate with menstruation by empowering and helping them reclaim their dignity. We strive to make sure women stay safe and healthy by educating about overall menstrual health. Finally, we want to help the environment by helping more women switch from the conventional disposable menstrual products to reusable products.

We will break the taboo surrounding menstruation.

*We recognize that not all people who have periods identify as women, and not all people who identify as women have periods. For this reason, you may see the word menstruator used when talking about menstrual product access. Our workshops are open to anyone and everyone who wants to help break the taboo.
