"We are terrified that tens of thousands of women are going to miss out on period products they desperately need," Rochelle Courtenay, Share the Dignity's founder and managing director, said.

The Bendigo region still needed about 130 more product donations heading into the weekend, with a preference for more tampons.

Support for the March Dignity Drive in the Bendigo area had been pleasing, regional leader Lauren Read said.

Any surplus donations from the area would go to neighbouring western Victorian regions.

The March Dignity Drive ends on Wednesday.

Products can be donated at Woolworths stores and a number of nominated businesses nationwide.

Share the Dignity is also running a menstruation survey, which received more than 10,000 responses within three days of its official launch.

The survey would become the biggest ever conducted on menstruation if it achieved its new goal of 100,000 responses, according to Share the Dignity.

The charity hopes the data can be used to "smash the shame and stigma around periods" and ensure all Australian have access to period products and education about menstruation.

The survey forms part of the Share the Dignity's Period Pride campaign.
