Text Correction
A correction has been made to the third paragraph, second sentence. This sentence previously stated:
“It is estimated that 500 million women in the United States have inadequate access to menstrual products and hygiene facilities (7, 5).”
The corrected sentence appears below:
“It is estimated that 16.9 million menstruating women in the United States live in poverty, two-thirds of which are low-income and food-insecure women who cannot afford basic menstrual products such as pads, tampons, and menstrual products”.
The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
