In Episode 6 of the Disruptors for Good podcast I speak with Claire Coder, Founder of Aunt Flow, about quitting college at 19 to start an organic tampon company and fighting for women’s menstrual issues.
Listen to other Causeartist podcast here.
Claire Coder is the founder and CEO of Aunt Flow. Committed to ensuring everyone has access to menstrual products, Coder dropped out of college to pursue Aunt Flow. The social enterprise now stocks over 100 companies and schools with freely accessible menstrual products ranging from Viacom, Jeni’s Ice Creams, and Bark Box to Stanford and Brown University.
About Aunt Flow – Organic Tampon
For every 10 tampons and pads the company sell, they donate 1 to a menstruator in need. The company calls this people helping people. PERIOD.®. They have donated over 350,000 menstrual products to menstruators in need in the USA.
