*moon time = the menstruation time for some Indigenous cultures

The Period Purse takes seriously the issues of our responsibilities being on Indigenous territories. We work alongside First Nations communities to bring moon time (period) care to those who need it. 

For over two years, The Period Purse has worked alongside a First Nations community who shared their knowledge, wisdom, experience, time, and talent to create a Moon Time Zine for generations to come.

Are you looking for specific Moon Time education for your group? We can provide you with a free one hour education session from a First Nations educator to lead this culturally responsive education for your group. Email us for more information!

Every January and February, The Period Purse raises funds to be able to purchase the period products that our First Nations community partners need.

We donate a variety of menstruation products to Midwives doing frontline outreach work in Indigenous communities. These Moon Time kits include:

• Menstrual cup 
• Menstrual disc
• Reusable cloth pads
• Reusable period underwear
• Cloth “carrying” bag (to keep their period products in)
• Bamboo biodegradable pads and tampons
• Motivational note with Indigenous artwork and written in their language
• Moontime essential oil
