We’ve all seen those clunky, old coin-operated period product dispensers.
Menstruators who need a tampon or pad in a pinch are forced to rely on broken, empty dispensers filled with outdated products. Who carries quarters around, anyway?!
At Aunt Flow, we’re on a mission to ensure that everyone has easy access to high-quality, organic cotton period products when they need them ⸺ not the yucky tampons and pads that most of us are accustomed to when using an archaic 25-cent dispenser.
Here’s what you can expect when you partner with Aunt Flow and implement our free-vend period product dispensers:
Durable & Reliable
Aunt Flow dispensers are tested for longevity and built to last! They have been life-cycle tested for ten years and have a 97% in-market performance rate. So, of the 40k+ dispensers in the market since 2021, less than 3% are reported to have a defect. You can trust our dispensers to provide consistent, high-quality performance for years to come.
Whether installed in schools, offices, or stadium facilities, Aunt Flow dispensers are engineered to endure daily wear and tear without compromising functionality. This durability not only reduces the need for frequent replacements but also minimizes maintenance costs, making them a reliable, cost-effective solution for long-term period care.
Rust Free
The Model R and O outer cases are made with 16 gauge stainless steel (naturally corrosion resistant), and internal metal components of the dispensers are coated to ensure parts don’t rust. With the Model R and O, you can be confident that your dispenser will maintain its functionality and aesthetic appeal, even in the most demanding settings.
Shatterproof & Impact Resistant
ABS Resin
Our Model P and E dispensers are made with ABS plastic, a strong material that withstands impact. One significant advantage of ABS resin is its lightweight nature, which makes the dispensers easier to install and handle.
Dispensers made from ABS resin are generally more affordable than those made from metals like stainless steel, making them an excellent choice for organizations with budget constraints. Despite the lower cost, ABS resin dispensers still provide reliable performance.
Maintaining ABS resin dispensers is straightforward and requires minimal effort. Janitorial staff can clean them with standard cleaning agents without the risk of damage or discoloration. The smooth surface of ABS resin also prevents the buildup of dirt and grime, ensuring that the dispensers remain hygienic and presentable.
Stainless Steel
The Model R and O dispensers, on the other hand, are made of stainless steel. One of the most significant benefits of stainless steel is its non-porous surface, which does not harbor bacteria or germs. This makes it easier to clean and maintain high hygiene standards.
Stainless steel can be wiped down quickly and does not retain odors, ensuring a sanitary environment for users. The durability, low maintenance, and longevity of stainless steel dispensers result in cost savings over time, as they do not need to be replaced as frequently.
No Batteries or Electronics Needed
Don’t worry about replacing batteries or electronics breaking down because the Aunt Flow dispenser is entirely mechanical! This means fewer headaches and more reliable service without the risk of electronic malfunctions.
Efficient & Time Saving
Don’t waste time opening the dispenser — thanks to our handy viewing window, you can see when you need to restock at a quick glance! Even better? Period products can be dropped in handfuls at a time rather than one by one when it’s time to reload your dispenser.
In an average K-12 school, 1,000 period products are used per dispenser annually, with each school typically having ten dispensers. This means Aunt Flow dispensers, which need reloading only ten times a year and take just 1 minute per reload, save significant time compared to competitors like Hospeco, whose dispensers require 27 reloads per year and take 4 minutes each.
The total time spent reloading Aunt Flow dispensers is just 1.6 hours per year, while competitor dispensers consume a staggering 45 hours per year. This efficiency frees up valuable time for staff, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks. Fewer reloads mean reduced labor costs associated with maintenance.
High Capacity
Aunt Flow dispensers hold 100 period products, compared to 36 products for other standard dispensers. High-capacity dispensers ensure that period products are consistently available to users, enhancing their experience.
In environments like schools or workplaces, where access to period products can be critical, having dispensers that run out less frequently ensures that students and employees always have access to these essential supplies.
