Period poverty in commercial facilities

Install free period product dispensers: Commercial facilities can install free period product dispensers in their restrooms, which can provide a convenient and discreet way for individuals to access the products they need. These dispensers can be stocked with pads, tampons, and menstrual cups, and can be refilled regularly.

Offer free period products at the front desk: Facilities such as gyms, hotels, and community centers can offer free period products at the front desk, making them easily accessible to anyone who needs them.

Partner with local organizations: Commercial facilities can partner with local organizations that distribute menstrual products to those in need. They can provide space for these organizations to store and distribute products, as well as help with fundraising and awareness-raising efforts.

Make menstrual products available in vending machines: Some facilities have vending machines that dispense menstrual products, which can be an affordable and accessible option for individuals who may not have access to them elsewhere.

Provide education and resources: In addition to providing free menstrual products, commercial facilities can also provide education and resources on menstrual health and management. This can include posters, brochures, and other materials that provide information on topics such as menstrual hygiene, period tracking, and menstrual product options.
