March 2008
Hello Friends!
Wow. February was quite a month! We don't think we've ever said that about February in a good way. But the launch of the new Party In My Pants website has been a huge sucess! That can only mean that many of you are out there spreading the good word about PIMPs. Thank you!!
February also brought opportunites to give back to our global community: Goods 4 Girls & V-day. Read more about them below! Lydia is gearing up to tour the Midwest with Party In My Pants and stores across the country are adding PIMPs to their shelves.
Give the gift of cloth pads to women in Africa!
Party In My Pants is proud to partner with Goods 4 Girls: a non-profit group collecting cloth pads and distributing them to women in Africa.
Without access to menstrual products, many African women depend on rags, newspaper, camel skin or nothing at all. Recently, a US manufacturer of disposable products released a commercial describing how young girls in Africa miss school when they have their periods and that buying their products will help. (You can watch this commercial on YouTube)
The Goods 4 Girls project was started to help provide young women with menstrual supplies that don't burden their communities with extra waste. Learn more about Goods 4 Girls on their website.
You can help by donating cloth pads! Add a "Goods 4 Girls Donation" to your shopping cart at partypantspads.com and we'll ship it right to Good 4 Girls. Or donate 3 pads for the price of 2!
PIMP Midwest Tour
Do you live in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, or Minnesota? Then let's Party! Lydia of Party In My Pants is touring the Midwest this Spring and would love to host a House Party with you. Contact Lydia to find out which dates are still available!
House Parties are the perfect place to introduce your friends to Party In My Pants. Women have oodles of questions about switching to cloth pads and at a House Party they can get them all answered by a pro who knows Party In My Pants through and through. Plus they get pick of the Cutecase! (a big suitcase full 'o PIMPs) Find out more about House Parties on our website.
