U by Kotex has partnered with 18-year-old Anna Leigh Waters, the world's #1 pickleball player, to challenge period stigma in sports. Waters, who recently won an undefeated tournament in San Clemente while menstruating, demonstrates that peak performance doesn't pause during periods. The partnership aims to address concerning statistics, including that over 84% of teenage girls aged 11-16 report decreased interest in sports after starting their period, and 25% feel embarrassed to participate in physical activities during menstruation. Research suggests some women may actually experience improved mental agility and faster reaction times during menstruation. The collaboration between U by Kotex and Waters focuses on normalizing period conversations in sports and empowering women to stay active throughout their cycle.
