Menstrual Hygiene - FAQs
Free period products: why should you provide menstrual hygiene products for free?
Providing free pads and tampons isn’t just supporting a basic human right, it’s a small price to pay for the comfort and dignity of employees, customers, students, and visitors. From stained clothes or lost work or classroom time, to serious health risks, the cost of period inequity can be, quite literally, life-threatening. Installing a pad and tampon dispenser that offers free period products is critical for gender equity in the workplace. Learn more about how your workplace can join the growing movement to provide free period products.
Can you flush pads down the toilet?

Not only will this cause plumbing problems, but it’s also bad for the environment as most menstrual hygiene products take a very long time to degrade.
