THE START OF SOMETHING BIG
The Period Shop marks the launch of the The Period Projects, a groundbreaking series of projects
inspired and led by real women like you who share our passion for change. The Period Shop project was
inspired by a Tumblr post from a young woman, Sarah M., who worked with U by Kotex® to make her
vision a reality on 5th Avenue in NYC. Part celebration, part proclamation, the Period Shop is proof that
together, we can change how we think about, talk about, and shop for periods. And we’re only
getting started.
Check out highlights from The Period Shop and other Period Projects at ubykotex.com
MEET SARAH M.
Sarah is the lady with the plan. Not only is she the brains behind the Period Shop, but she’s
intelligent, charismatic, and always ready to talk periods.
THE POST THAT STARTED IT ALL
GUESS WHAT? I’M CALLING FOR A PERIOD SHOP!!!! I want a space where we can feel
comfortable and respected during an otherwise shitty time of the month. My dream period shop
has: designer pads/tampons - ice cream - heating pad/phone charging station - mani/pedi
stations - live dj obvi - and sweatpants. HOW AMAZING WOULD THIS BE? Every woman (cis or
trans) will be welcome to bask in this glory!! THINK ABOUT IT LADIES!!! SOMEONE MAKE

Q
Q
KIRAN GANDHI
Tell us a little about yourself.
I'm a college student majoring in Cosmetics and
Fragrance Marketing, living in NYC. I'm obsessed with my
favorite TV shows, makeup, and junk food.
Why do you think a Period Shop is
important?
There are so many random shops for random things...
women need a shop of their own! I feel like a Period Shop
is so inclusive, it’s a space where we can get what we
want during our periods, but also just bond as women
and enjoy each other’s company.
Q What are you most excited for this
weekend?
Q What do you hope women take
This whole experience has been crazy to me! Seeing this
idea become a reality has been unbelievable. So many
people worked hard to make this happen, and I’m so
grateful.
away from the Period Shop?
I want women to realize that their period doesn’t have to
be something that holds them back from doing what they
want. It’s something to joke about, and if it’s possible,
have fun with.
Q How do you think we can make people
more comfortable talking about
periods?
A lot the stigma surrounding periods comes from the
media, but I think that conversation needs to start
between women. Mother and daughters, friend to friend,
all women go through this, so why are we so afraid to talk
about it? The only way to get the conversation started in
the media is to get it started in our everyday lives.
Q What is your funniest/worst period
story?
When I got my period for the first time, I called my mom
to tell her the news, little did I know that she’d tell
everyone she’d ever met. For the rest of that day I
received phone calls and texts from my entire family
(literally everyone) and a bunch of my mom’s friends
congratulating me on “becoming a woman.” To say I was
humiliated was an understatement; I was uncomfortable
in so many ways that day!
Q Finish the sentence: My period is...
Just part of being a female!
Q What’s next for you?
Finishing my degree!
