Kt by Knix, the sister brand to intimates and apparel brand Knix, created a children's book about menstruation called Some Periods to support early childhood education. This first-of-its-kind book for kids was inspired by Knix founder and president Joanna Griffiths' own experiences as a child, as well as the need for a resource to educate kids about preparing for puberty.
By bringing this topic out into the open, the brand wants to reiterate that periods aren't shameful or gross, and Some Periods aims to take the confusion and embarrassment out of the lives of young menstruators.
$5,000 is being donated to I Support The Girls, an organization that's devoted to a similar mission with regard to empowering girls and women with period education and the right resources.
