Kimberly‑Clark Australia gives support to make period and bladder care a workplace essential

Many workplaces already supply everyday essentials such as toilet paper, tissues, and soap.

For many people, periods and bladder leakage are equally routine, but much harder to manage when the right products aren’t on hand.

A simple idea with a big impact

That’s the thinking behind Kimberly‑Clark Australia’s Empower U program, a practical approach to making everyday life at work a little easier.

Kimberly‑Clark Australia partners with organisations to provide access to U by Kotex® period care and Poise® bladder leakage care, along with straightforward education that helps teams feel prepared, confident and supported in managing these common, often unspoken parts of life.

Addressing real but often hidden barriers

For many, periods or bladder leakage aren’t always talked about openly, yet they’re everyday realities that can quietly influence how comfortable and focused the workday feels.

When products aren’t easily available, it can mean unnecessary stress - interruptions, unexpected trips home, or moments of discomfort that linger through the day.

By providing essential items without fuss, just as workplaces already do with toilet paper or soap, it helps normalise these conversations and reduce the stigma that often surrounds these needs.

It’s a small, practical change that removes barriers and allows people to get on with their work feeling prepared, comfortable and confident.
