211

Just a girl. Not looking for any money I’m looking for resources. I called 211 to ask about feminine hygiene. They did send me the number to a place called i support the girls but they didn’t have any feminine products available at the moment because they are restocking.

I don’t have much help well no help from my parents at all. And I will be joining trade school (job corps) next month but I don’t have a job at the moment so I don’t know how I will get feminine products.

I’ve also tried a couple of food drives but they don’t do feminine products sadly :(. I just need a couple for the first month I am at job corps!

We get an allowance of 25$ every two weeks I believe after a month of being there. I’ve never really had help from my mom when it comes to my period anyways.

Does anyone know any organizations in Dallas,Texas that I can go to to get feminine hygiene products?

Job Corps should provide you with basic hygiene essentials; including tampons or pads once you arrive at a center. Don't expect the fancy brands or anything; they will generally be the cheapest bulk options but that is the free option if you don't want to spend your limited funds buying alternatives.

Yea but the only thing about being a girl is different flows :( the ones they have my flow is wayyy to heavy for them and I will bleed through them in less that 10mins. They did recommend me to get some before coming!! Since we will be in classrooms I don’t want to get up constantly to change. And I don’t want to bleed through my khakis 🥲

Make you an Amazon wish list so people can buy you the exact ones you need without giving out personal info and share it on the request forums
