Periods don’t wait for the workday to end. If a team member or guest needs a tampon or pad [GB2.1]in a pinch, will your business be ready™?

Menstruators shouldn’t have to rely on outdated coin-operated tampon dispensers filled with unreliable [HA3.1]period products. That’s why Cintas and Aunt Flow are on a mission to ensure that everyone has easy access to high-quality tampons and pads when they need them.

It all starts with easy-to-use dispensers that provide free access to period products and give both your employees and visitors peace of mind. Here’s what to expect when you source your dispenser through Cintas and Aunt Flow.

Durability and Reliability

Cintas and Aunt Flow dispensers are engineered to endure daily wear and tear without compromising functionality — no matter the workplace. Durability not only reduces the need for frequent replacements but also minimizes maintenance costs, making them a reliable, cost-effective way to ensure ongoing access to period care.

Rust-Free, Shatterproof and Impact-Resistant

The Aunt Flow® Model E Dispenser is made with durable and impact-resistant ABS resin. Dispensers made from ABS resin are generally more affordable than those made from metals like stainless steel, making them an excellent choice for organizations with budget constraints. Despite the lower cost, ABS resin dispensers still provide reliable performance.

Dispensers made with ABS resin are easy to maintain. They don’t require specialized cleaning agents, so your staff doesn’t need to worry about damaging, discoloring or rusting dispensers with commercial cleaners. Plus, the Model E’s smooth surface is easy to clean since there’s nowhere for dirt and grime to hide.

No Batteries or Electronics Needed

There’s no need to worry about electronic breakdowns or battery replacements, because Cintas and Aunt Flow period product dispenser[GB4.1]s are entirely mechanical. Fewer points of failure mean fewer headaches for your facilities staff.

High-Capacity

High-capacity dispensers ensure that period products are consistently available to menstruators, enhancing their experience.

In environments like schools or workplaces, where access to period products can be critical, a high-volume dispenser helps ensure that students and employees always have access to the items they need.

The Aunt Flow Model E Dispenser holds 100 total products — 50 pads and 50 tampons — while the more compact Cintas Mini Dispenser holds 25 pads and 25 tampons. Both the Model E and the Mini Dispenser far outperform standard period product dispensers, which typically hold 36 total products.

Efficiency and Time Savings

With Cintas, quality dispensers are just the start.

Your Cintas representative visi[GB5.1]ts your facility regularly to maintain dispensers and restock them with Aunt Flow’s organic cotton tampons and pads. It all adds up to significant time savings, week after week — time that you would have spent sourcing suppliers, purchasing products or refilling dispensers.

Plus, you’ll get more space back in your supply closet. We make sure you always have the products you need — no more shortages of period products, no more overpaying for excess inventory.
