“There are so many great aspects to this initiative, besides the fact that now students have access to free tampons and pads. Like the dispensers being designed to be accessible for people that cannot pinch and turn, for example, and for offering the opportunity for us to discuss menstruation more openly.”

“The status quo of unhygienic metal wall boxes and empty, paid vending machines is simply not good enough. Washrooms need to accommodate how menstruators manage their periods in public spaces so they can continue their work, school, and social activities without stigma or fears for their health or livelihood.”
