In public restrooms, we expect to find essentials like toilet paper, soap, and hand dryers. These items are considered basic hygiene necessities and are provided for free. Yet, menstrual products—just as essential for half the population—are often absent or available only at a cost. Why is this still the case? It’s time to change the norm and make menstrual protection freely accessible in public spaces.
Breaking the Stigma Around Menstrual Products
Menstruation is a natural biological process, yet it remains stigmatized. The lack of freely available tampons and sanitary pads in public restrooms perpetuates the idea that periods are a private issue rather than a basic health need. No one is expected to carry their own toilet paper everywhere they go, so why should it be any different for menstrual protection?
Ensuring Dignity and Accessibility for All
For many people, periods are unpredictable. Whether someone forgets to bring a tampon, experiences an unexpectedly heavy flow, or simply cannot afford menstrual products, the absence of dispensers in public restrooms can lead to discomfort, embarrassment, and even missed work or school days. Providing free menstrual products ensures that everyone has access to the basic hygiene items they need, fostering dignity and inclusivity.
A Simple Step Toward Gender Equity
Access to menstrual products is a matter of equity. Schools, workplaces, shopping malls, and transportation hubs already supply necessary hygiene items—adding tampons and pads to the list is a small but impactful step toward gender inclusivity. By installing dispensers in public restrooms, we acknowledge that menstrual health is just as important as any other aspect of hygiene.
