Haute Talk with I Support The Girls

In this episode of The Lexy Show: Fashion That Gives A D*mn, we’re talking about sustainability and the power of simple essentials with I Support the Girls — a nonprofit that’s redefining what it means to care for women and menstruating people in crisis. Founded by Dana Marlowe in 2015, I Support the Girls collects and distributes bras, underwear, and menstrual hygiene products to people experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, or financial hardship. What started as one woman’s realization that most donation drives overlook basic necessities has grown into a global movement, providing millions of products to those who need them most.

But beyond providing immediate relief, their mission also ties into sustainability. By redistributing gently used bras and championing reusable period products, I Support the Girls keeps textiles and plastics out of landfills while promoting circular solutions that empower communities. It’s proof that sustainability isn’t just about the environment — it’s about equity, accessibility, and dignity.

In this conversation, we’ll explore how I Support the Girls is giving new life to clothing and care products that might otherwise go to waste, and why something as small as a bra or a box of pads can have a massive ripple effect on confidence, comfort, and humanity.
