Lynette Medley and her daughter Nya start their day by coordinating the color of their outfits to the mouse ears they wear.
Next, they try to be approachable because the next step includes products that people may be hesitant to touch.
The mother-daughter duo stacks dozens of period product-filled boxes into their large truck.
The truck has uteruses and cartoon-like depictions of menstrual pads on it.
The Medley family's parents will host a pop-up to provide women with period products.
The tampon shortage, an ongoing occurrence, and inflation make menstrual hygiene management more expensive and challenging.
16.9 million women were living in poverty, with millions unable to afford menstrual products last year, which required them to choose between hygiene products and food.
Five hundred million people are affected by period poverty globally, which is associated with mental, emotional, and physical challenges.
Period poverty became important to Medley following a divorce.
She couldn't pay for the products she needed, including those for her daughter, who is now 30 years old.
