Soon, you will compete on the world’s biggest stage.
And we know many of you will do this during your period.
But no one talks about it. We need you to talk about it. Why?
Because 1 in 2 teens skips sports to hide their period.
They’re dropping out of sports they love, ashamed of something normal.
That’s why Knix is offering up to $1000 CAD for athletes to mention competing on their period, up to a limit of $2000 CAD per athlete.
.
With the help of CAN Fund #150Women, we surveyed hundreds of top athletes about periods in sports.
99%
of athletes have competed on their period at an international competition
75%
of athletes have a fear of leaking while competing
64%
of athletes have felt uncomfortable talking about their periods with their coaches
