According to KaNeeTa Kimble, Vice President of North America Always, the initiative aims to ensure the next generation does not navigate the same lack of preparation that hampered their predecessors.

Always and Tampax Target Campus Period Preparedness Gaps
Heading to college is a milestone of independence, yet 64% of recent U.S. female graduates regret lacking practical period management advice before arriving on campus. To bridge this knowledge gap, Always and Tampax have launched a nationwide initiative to normalize period conversations and provide essential resources directly to students.
To address this, Always and Tampax are executing a seven-stop campus tour, visiting institutions including Ohio State University, UCLA, and Spelman College. The program combines peer-to-peer advice with product distribution; this year, the effort reached 52,000 students and provided nearly 800,000 period-care products. By moving beyond traditional marketing into educational outreach and social media engagement, the brands intend to make period management a standard, visible component of student life rather than an overlooked necessity.
