Welcome to Asan Impact

500 million women and girls worldwide can’t access safe period care. Asan is changing this.

The challenge

"Period poverty" refers to is a lack of access to affordable menstrual products, clean water, safe toilets, and proper menstrual health education. The result: missed school and work, poor health, and silence driven by stigma and taboos.

The solution

Designed at the Harvard Innovation Lab, the Asan menstrual cup is designed to be the perfect solution for underserved communities. It's made from durable medical silicone, and lasts up to 10 years. One cup replaces 2,500 sanitary pads.

Through NGO partnerships, Asan provides menstrual health education and free period cups to women and girls globally, helping them be healthy, active and mobile.
