1 in 4 menstruating students are missing crucial learning opportunities due to a lack of period supplies.

Periods are NOT a choice, shame, or luxury, and menstrual health is a topic that is often stigmatized and ignored. Period products (i.e. pads and tampons) are a basic, absolute, and constant hygiene need - equivalent to toilet paper. Providing these necessities improves the educational experience of many students by preventing them from missing important learning opportunities due to a lack of menstrual products. It also alleviates the financial burden and the stress when a sudden need arises.

Solutions for students and staff alike:

vs. the others

CLEAN

Aunt Flow dispensers are rust resistant with a modern, sleek design.

Other dispensers are often rusty, dirty and just plain gross.

FAST + EASY

Aunt Flow dispensers hold up to 5x the product and take 30 seconds to reload. The window shows when it’s time to refill.

Other dispensers hold less product and take 2 mins+ to reload. Multiplied by 100s of dispensers, you’re lookin’ at a lot of unnecessary labor costs.

FREE VEND

Our dispensers are DESIGNED for the 21st century. That means, no quarters.

Tampons and pads SHOULD be free. And besides, who carries a freaking quarter?!

COMPLIANT

All Aunt Flow dispensers are ADA compliant.

Other dispensers require knobs to turn to release the product and are not accessible.

QUALITY

Aunt Flow dispensers use organic cotton pads and tampons.

Other dispensers use pads and tampons that contain synthetic dyes and nasty chemicals.

5 Steps To Advocate For Aunt Flow At Your School

More states are requiring schools to offer period products to their students.

"They got installed last week and, less than 24 hours later, I had five people come up to me saying that that saved them that day" - Adele Foley, Student at Fruita Monument High School

"When you walk in and see the new Aunt Flow dispenser, it helps open minds. It's a thought provoker, a conversation starter. It's a bold statement that says, this is important!"

- Jeff Galusha

Facilities Director at Westover School, Middlebury, Connecticut

"I love having Aunt Flow for our students so that they know when they are in need that they don't have to worry. They don't have to make an embarrassing trip to the nurse's office either, they can just head to the bathroom and take care of it then return to class like they normally would. It's an amazing service to provide to them. I'm so happy we're able to give it to them here at Canton Area High School (PA)!"

- Kalyn Essick

Secondary English Teacher, Canton Area School District

"Our students love it. They love the quality of the product! It’s really nice and easy to use. I would say every school needs to have something readily available for students."

- Jennifer Christensen

Principal, Olympus High School in Salt Lake City

"So thankful your company exists!"

- Rebecca Styles

Director of Instruction at Osceola School District, WI

claire coder, founder + ceo

Hi! I’m Claire. I founded Aunt Flow after getting my period in public without the supplies needed.

At 18 years old, I dedicated my life to developing a solution to ensure businesses and schools could sustainably provide quality period products, for free, in bathrooms. Our products are made with organic cotton and we are constantly working to reduce our environmental impact! Since 2021, we've donated MILLIONS of period products to menstruators in need. I call this people helping people. PERIOD.®
