Our Campaign Partners

We work with organisations that share our values and commitment to menstrual equity.

 

Their strategic insights and creative prowess are instrumental in crafting compelling campaigns that resonate with our target audience and drive meaningful change.

We work collaboratively with our campaign partners to create bold, inclusive and game-changing solutions that address menstrual equity issues and make lasting intergenerational social impact.

This is the kind of bold action that sets brands apart.

We are delighted to partner with Woolworths New Zealand for transformative campaigns that raise awareness and funds that support our kaupapa.

Our campaign partnership with Woolworths New Zealand includes leading supply partners representing period products from U By Kotex, Libra, Carefree, Stayfree, Tampax, Oi Organic, Tom Organic, Bonds, Vagisil, Femfresh, Evamay, and Essentials.

Our Strategic Partners

Our Strategic Partners play a pivotal role in underpinning The Period Place's success and sustainability. 

U by Kotex aren’t just the most popular period product for customers in New Zealand, they also invented the disposable pad as we know it!

In 1919, the Woolworth’s department store in Chicago sold the first box of Kotex pads, and the rest is history.

Over 100 years later, they have donated hundreds of thousands of period products from their full range of pads and tampons through The Period Place.

 

On top of this, our partnership includes:

  • Auckland Council Trial - free period products in community centres in Tāmaki Makaurau

  • U by Kotex sponsored The Period Place Podcast - find wherever you listen to podcasts.

Our Distribution Partners

The New Zealand Food Network (NZFN) generously provides logistics and distribution of The Period Place-sourced menstrual products.

These menstrual products are available as a result of product donations from Strategic and Product Partners, and fundraising and charitable donations to The Period Place for the purpose of purchasing products.

​From its centralised distribution centres in Auckland and Christchurch NZFN distributes nutritious food and supplies to its network of NZFN Food Hubs.


NZFN Food Hubs are organisations working on the frontline to support vulnerable and underserved communities and individuals. There is a strong interconnection between the organisations NZ Food Hubs work with and many existing The Period Place Impact Partners.
 

The Period Place has also secured cost pricing of menstrual products which can be utilised by NZFN Hubs, increasing access to disposable and reusable menstrual products throughout Aotearoa.
 

By partnering with The Period Place, we hope to destigmatise access to period products and by utilising our established nationwide distribution network we hope The Period Place can focus more on their education and advocacy work in the community.”
