Nike Unveils Period Shorts For Athletes: Femly is here for it!

Nike recently unveiled anti-period leak shorts for athletes. These shorts are designed with a built-in liner that offers protection and comfort for people who menstruate while participating in sports or other physical activities. The liner is made of a breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that helps prevent leaks and discomfort.

For athletes, especially those who compete at high levels, menstrual cycles can be a significant challenge. Menstruation can cause discomfort, fatigue, and a host of other physical and emotional symptoms that can affect performance. Additionally, traditional menstrual products like pads and tampons can be cumbersome and uncomfortable during physical activity, leading some athletes to forego protection altogether.

Nike's period shorts are a gamechanger because they offer a more comfortable and convenient option for athletes who menstruate. The shorts provide protection without the bulk or discomfort of traditional menstrual products, allowing athletes to focus on their performance without distraction.

Beyond the practical benefits, Nike's period shorts are also an important step toward menstrual equity. Menstrual equity refers to the idea that everyone who menstruates should have access to safe, affordable menstrual products, as well as education and resources to manage their periods with dignity and without shame.

Period Equity: Why It's Important

Period equity is an important issue because access to menstrual products is a basic human need. Yet, for many people, particularly those living in poverty or marginalized communities, accessing menstrual products can be a significant challenge. According to a survey by Plan International, one in five girls in the United States has either left school early or missed school entirely because they did not have access to menstrual products.

How Femly Supports Period Equity

Femly is one organization that is working to promote period equity by increasing access to menstrual products in schools, businesses, and other organizations. Femly sells smart restroom dispensers that dispense organic period products, such as pads and tampons. These dispensers are designed to be installed in restrooms and other public spaces, making it easy for people to access the products they need when they need them.

In addition to the dispensers, Femly also offers a range of organic period products that are free of harmful chemicals and toxins. By offering these products, Femly is helping to promote menstrual health and wellness, as well as environmental sustainability. The use of organic period products is not only better for the body, but it also reduces waste and environmental impact.

A Unique Approach to Menstrual Care Access

One of the unique aspects of Femly's approach is our focus on community partnerships. The organization partners with schools, businesses, and other organizations to install the smart dispensers and provide education and resources around menstrual health and wellness. By partnering with these organizations, Femly is helping to create a more equitable and inclusive environment where everyone can access the products and resources they need to manage their periods with dignity.
