It is made of natural rubber and lasts for year. It does need to be washed, but each woman would only need one. I just posted a comment on the manufacturers website, suggesting they consider donating. You might be interested to contact them as well, or pass along an appropriate contact person on the ground who might coordinate. http://www.thekeeper.com/ Good luck with your good work.
