The record-breaking endeavour, which took place last year, took an exhausting 18 hours, with more than 200 dedicated volunteers contributing to its success. Each pad was painstakingly placed, with independent witnesses overseeing the process, including auditors from Maine Accountants. The GoAllOut student chapter launched their Pad the Way initiative to raise awareness about and combat period poverty.

“Through strategic partnerships with Bidvest Steiner and other corporate donors, the GoAllOut Organisation collected more than 100 000 sanitary pads for the event. Beyond the symbolic achievement of breaking the Guinness World Record, these pads were distributed to schools, universities and charitable organisations to address the immediate needs of those affected by period poverty,” he adds.
