Feminine Hygiene Dispensers

In recent years, it's become more apparent that institutions need to be doing more to accommodate their female students and employees. Offering free pads and tampons has become a part of the larger conversation among educational organisations and has already started to be adopted in secondary schools, universities and workplaces across the country.

Knowing what you can to aid people in these situations can seem a little daunting at first, but we have the exact solution you need to get started and make your institutions welcoming to all people. If you've been wondering what steps you can take towards creating a more accommodating environment, then look no further...

It's right in the name - EasiVend makes it easy for you to stock your bathrooms with sanitary products while also making it simple for people to take them should they need to. EasiVend provides a free dispensing option for pads and tampons, so your students and employees don't need to pay a ridiculous amount at typical vending machines. 

The government has a service where they provide free sanitary pads to certain institutions like schools and colleges, so you can instantly stock your bathrooms and start providing people with much-needed products.

Depending on the size of your bathrooms and organisations, you may want to install 2 dispensers per washroom. Having 2 ensures that you won't have to refill them constantly, as people may take multiple pads/tampons to last them the day. They may also feel more comfortable doing so if they see the dispensers are well-stocked.

You should also consider the placement of your dispensers. If you're fitting your washroom with 2 dispensers, then having them on opposite sides is the most convenient option. They should be close to the toilet stalls, too, for ease of access.

EasiVend works best when being regularly restocked and maintained. You should also partner these dispensers with an informational card about how important it is to others to only take as much as you might need. You might also want to provide an alternative solution for people who need to procure sanitary products, like being able to visit reception or a certain person's office. This ensures that nobody is ever going without pads or tampons when they need them.

If you're still unsure if EasiVend is the right option for your washrooms, that's great - you should always be 100% sure that an investment is the right one for your institution before buying in.

Not long ago, many institutions didn't even think they needed to provide sanitary products for their students and employees, but times change, and now the provision of pads and tampons is expected from any organisation that considers itself inclusive and welcoming.

Many institutions have opted for the 'basket full of sanitary products' method, which definitely works but also makes it very easy for people to just grab a handful and leave, meaning some people may be left without. There is also rarely a good place to place an open container in a bathroom, usually resulting in the products getting wet, damaged, lost or taken at excessive volume.

EasiVend creates a designated space that is convenient to use by everyone, whether you're restocking or getting some products out. The design of the EasiVend also means people are less likely to steal a load of products they don't need and will only take a few to carry around.

Ultimately, EasiVend makes finding sanitary products incredibly convenient while also creating an environment where people feel safe, comfortable and included.

The EasiVend is a must-have solution for washrooms in institutions across the country. Building a place where people feel looked after is essential and can make all the difference when it comes to the health and safety of your students and employees.
