NJIT understands that period poverty affects our students, and accessing period products on campus can be challenge. Period poverty includes a lack of access to period products in educational settings and can impact students' physical and mental well-being as well as class attendance and participation. 

Beginning Spring 2023, NJIT students can access free period products in various campus restrooms sponsored by the Student Senate, Graduate Student Association, Offices of the Dean of Students and Student Life.

We ask that students are mindful of others and take only what is needed at that time.

Products:

• Applicator tampons made from organic cotton (regular absorbency)
  • cardboard applicator with a smooth petal tip for comfort 
• Regular day pad with wings (thin pad with high capacity)
  • Sticky backing to adhere to underwear
  • Made with 100% organic cotton top layer, no synthetics, rayon, or dyes

Additional product information can be found online at Aunt Flow.
