Why Diaper & Period Support Matters
Half of families in St. Louis sometimes cannot afford enough diapers. One in four women has had to skip or ration period supplies.
It costs roughly $1,000 per year to diaper one child, yet no public programs cover this cost. Every contribution helps fill this critical gap.
Health
Keeping infants and toddlers clean, dry and healthy is key to building a solid foundation for all children. Inadequate menstrual hygiene has been associated with infection and poor health-related quality-of-life.
Less Stress
Moms who don’t have enough diapers are 3 times more likely than their peers to suffer from depression and anxiety. Every tampon = 4 hours of a more focused, present, and confident person.
Abuse Risks
Children left in soiled diapers are uncomfortable and irritable. Fussy babies are at an increased risk of child abuse.
No Benefits
No public benefit programs allow for the purchase of diapers or period supplies
“Without St. Louis Area Diaper Bank, I would have had to choose between buying diapers or groceries. They gave us peace of mind.” — Local Parent
