100 years ago, Kotex was created by nurses at the front lines who had to keep working even when they had their periods. Today, Kotex has launched the She Can initiative to foster resilience and help ensure women's progress for the next 100 years. The Kotex She Can initiative champions women's progress by fighting period stigmas and the barriers they cause, by promoting access to education in schools and communities, and by helping to open doors so that women can gain equal opportunity because no girl or woman should have to put her progress on hold for her period.
Periods don't hold women back.
Perceptions do.
Our Purpose
We exist to ensure a period never gets in the way of any woman's progress.
Kotex® is all about you. We’re about keeping you, and millions of other women around the world protected with reliable products that are designed with your needs in mind. We’re about giving each and every woman the freedom and confidence they deserve to live and enjoy every moment.
We’ve dedicated the past 90 years towards teaching women about their bodies, their periods and everything else in between. We’re not afraid to get real and we want to get real with you. We want to talk openly and help you feel good about yourself.

Opening Doors for Her
Ensuring that she has the training and access to pursue an independent future after school. Ensuring lack access to menstrual hygiene management does not prohibit her progress as she goes through life.
