I am a small person. I understand the struggle faced by those of us who are smaller, including the challenges related to menstruation. Our size doesn't make us any less deserving of comfort and convenience during these times, yet we find ourselves compromising, being forced to cut our sanitary pads to match our size every month.

For the smallest person in the world and many others, including children going through menstruation, sanitary products should be much more than a one-size-fits-all solution. Every person should have access to sanitary products that fit them correctly and ensure dignity and hygiene.

Multiple research studies have highlighted that ill-fitting sanitary products can cause significant discomfort and negatively impact an individual's quality of life (Source: Global Health Research). Unfortunately, this issue disproportionally affects the smallest among us, who often do not have access to suitably-sized products.

It's time to address this often overlooked issue and demand manufacturers create a wider range of sizes for sanitary products, from the smallest to the largest user. The sizes and proportions of our bodies should not limit our access to necessary hygiene products.

For the millions of smaller persons around the globe, let's make their voices heard. Sign this petition to demand inclusivity in the menstrual hygiene industry, including the production of smaller sanitary pads and tampons designed specifically for smaller individuals.
