Our basic needs are not met and hardly anyone has noticed. Install a menstrual product dispenser in your organisation and join the movement. Let’s make sure that’s the least we can do
What exactly is a Menstrual Point?
A Menstrual Point is a dispenser of sanitary pads and tampons made of organic cotton that you install in your organisation to ensure access to essential products for all people who are menstruating
Menstrual Point is, in short, a social movement that is already making it possible to find sanitary pads and tampons in work offices and study centres, among others.
But…why should I offer them?
Because they are as necessary as toilet paper. Think about it for a moment: we use them constantly. Half of the population (almost) every month. It affects us in everything we do, but especially in what we fail to do. At least we can collectively take responsibility so that we have products when we need them. Logical, isn’t it?
Your organisation could also be Menstrually Responsible®. Do you know what this means?
When you install one of our dispensers, we certify you as a Menstrually Responsible® organisation. Because we want to ensure that the basics for everyone end up being the minimum, and being one of the first to commit to equality has merit!
That’s all well and good but... Is it for my type of organisation?
The answer is yes: we’re already in work offices, public buildings, educational establishments, health centres, gyms, hotels, restaurants and leisure areas. We’ve designed a dispenser type for each space to make sure they fit everywhere, so that we all have at least the basics.
And what’s inside our dispensers?
Definitely no plastics and no toxins. Only healthy sanitary pads and tampons: hypoallergenic and made from organic cotton. So that together we can leave discomfort where it belongs: in the last century.
If you don’t know which dispenser is best for your organisation, you’re in the right place.
Take the test and we will recommend the best type of dispenser for your organisation and tell you the low investment it would cost you to have it for 1 year.
Why is it my responsibility to guarantee menstrual products?
Offering free sanitary pads and tampons is often seen as an extra, when in fact we are talking about an essential commodity (yes, just like toilet paper!).
But why do we perceive it this way? Because historically the needs of menstruating people have not been prioritised and we have become accustomed to managing them individually and privately.
We won’t be offering the basics, but only to the other half of the population, is that right?
We start from discrimination and lack of inclusiveness.
This is all we face when we run out of menstrual products:
● Staining our clothes or spotting in public.
● Having to ask other people for sanitary pads or tampons as if they were a contraband product.
● Being forced to stop or postpone work, a class, a meeting, a get-together, or any other activity to go shopping for menstrual products or to go home to change.
● Feeling ashamed of a totally natural bodily process.
● Burdening the taboo and myths surrounding menstruation.
● Using products with toxins that are harmful to our health.

Create a much more inclusive space.
Provide basic necessities for all people regardless of gender

What do organisations that already have a Menstrual Point say?
At Agrolab Ibérica we are 85% women. Thanks to Menstrual Point we have access to organic menstrual products and we don't have to worry if we get our period unexpectedly. We are very happy with the measure. It should be a general measure.
At Tapp Water SL we are committed to the environment but not only that, we want our employees to feel comfortable in the workplace and one of the things we have implemented is to have a Menstrual Point in the office. We are all delighted.
At ACEB we are 5 employees, and we find it very useful to have Menstrual Point. In addition, the products are organic and we love that! I wish all companies would make it available to their employees.
These organizations are already Menstrually Responsible®!
I want a Menstrual Point, but I need to know how much it would cost me per year.

In short, any location where there is a menstruating person. We know that bathrooms are as diverse as people. That’s why we have designed a dispenser for every type of bathroom: small, large, installable, to hang up, with an applicator or applicator-free... Have you already found and visualised the dispenser for your bathroom?
Do you want to be Menstrually Responsible®?
All organisations which install a Menstrual Point in their premises receive the Menstrually Responsible® certificate.
With this certificate we recognise your commitment to gender equality, health and sustainability, as well as your commitment to ensuring that all people have access to basic necessities.
Moreover, you become an example for other organisations. Because to achieve our purpose, we need to count on all the people who no longer want to look the other way. Will you join us?
These are the quality certificates of our products
Are all sanitary pads and tampons good for the health?
We’re not fans of bad news, but you need to know something important: major brands of menstrual products are full of plastic and toxins (what a surprise!). We don’t expect you to believe us, here’s how you can check this at home:
Do you want a distributor to bring you refills for your dispenser?
No problem. You can tell us which dealer you trust or choose one of our partners:
