Our Projects
Period Product Experience (PPE)
The PPE initiative set out to educate the UIC community about sustainable menstruation by offering alternatives to one-use products. Reusable pads and menstrual cups were distributed around campus, and afterward, students sent in their anecdotes detailing their personal experiences using the products
Establishing a Menstrual Hub at UIC
With the success of the PPE initiative, Blood Buds wanted to create a permanent way for UIC students to access reusable products. Students can pick up a free menstrual cup in person at our monthly Menstrual Hub. Informational sessions are also held over zoom later in the week to provide a deep dive into cup maintenance, alternative products, and period poverty!
