*We use the term "bottoms" when talking about our work.

We do not use cute names like "tushies," "bums," or "butts.”

When discussing period supplies, we use the term “period products.”

We use gender-neutral terms when talking about period power programs: menstruating individuals, menstruating students.

We use the term adult incontinence supplies instead of adult diapers.

Terms and sayings we use often:

  • Changing lives, one diaper at a time

  • We cover bottoms
