Period care for Schools
Teenage years are hard enough. Let’s make this time easier by providing discrete, eco-friendly period care products at school.
Research shows that up to 50% of school aged girls have missed a class due to their period.
Over 20 per cent of respondents who are high school-aged said they wore period products for longer than the recommended four hours, because of the cost.*
1 in 4 young people reported experiencing problems getting period products when they needed them.**

The problem with periods is mainstream. Luckily, the solution is too.
School Startup Kit
Introducing our newest kit on the block: The School Startup Kit.
Each Kit includes 1 x box of tampons, 2 x boxes of pads, 1 x Box of Period Care Kits and 1 dispenser, giving you a total of 9976 period products with a 3-year expiry.
This should be enough to supply approximately 50 students for 1 year (200 period products each per year) and equates to roughly $59 per student, per year.
Pad & Tampon Dispenser
Easily and discretely provide your students with period products when they need them most with our all-new Pad & Tampon Dispenser.
Each Dispenser is designed to hold 100 single pads and 120 x tampon boxes at one time.
We advise purchasing a minimum of 1 box of tampons and 2 x boxes of pads for each dispenser or purchasing the School Starter Kit, which includes 1 free dispenser with each kit (limit one per school included free).
Benefits for Schools
Supplying period care products can help students with:
Higher attendance rates
Reducing period poverty and allow for equal opportunity for all students
Increase in confidence by removing the embarrassment of asking for period products
58% of girls felt embarrassed and nearly half saying they didn’t feel confident enough to tell anyone about it*
