Period product availability in washrooms is increasingly expected, and in some settings, legally required. Vending machines provide discreet access to sanitary products for staff, visitors, and students without the management burden of free-issue baskets.
Not everyone carries products at all times. Unexpected periods, forgotten supplies, or financial barriers mean staff and visitors can be caught without access. In schools, this causes absence. In workplaces, it causes embarrassment and lost productivity.
Scotland mandates free period products in public buildings. England and Wales are following. Schools must already provide products. Having a vending or dispensing solution positions you ahead of regulatory requirements.
Free-issue baskets of products in washrooms are well-intentioned but create problems: stock disappears quickly, there is no usage data, restocking is inconsistent, and cost control is impossible. Vending provides controlled, tracked access.
Washroom vending machines are wall-mounted dispensing units that provide sanitary towels, tampons, and personal care items to washroom users. Machines can be configured for coin-operated, token, or free-vend (zero cost to user) operation depending on your policy and setting.
As an ESPO framework-approved supplier, schools and councils can procure free-vend sanitary product dispensers directly. This supports period dignity policies while maintaining stock control and usage data that free-issue baskets cannot provide.
Discreet, reliable access to sanitary products for everyone. No embarrassment, no asking, no going without.
Unlike free-issue baskets, vending provides usage data. Know exactly how many products are dispensed and optimise your stock levels accordingly.
Schools and councils can procure directly through ESPO. Free-vend machines support period dignity policies with proper stock control.
