Access to hygiene products – especially in public or workplace settings – is a fundamental aspect of everyone’s health and well-being. For women, in particular, this is closely tied to menstrual-related needs and requirements. However, access to proper hygiene products remains a challenge for many women and girls.
A Global Issue
The difficulty in purchasing or obtaining sanitary pads and other hygiene items is a reality affecting millions of women worldwide. This issue can lead to health problems, challenges in the workplace, or social isolation. Hygiene experiences vary, and needs differ based on factors such as age, culture, religion, disability, or gender identity. For this reason, a comprehensive approach to feminine hygiene means offering a range of products and services that cater to diverse requirements.
Practical and Innovative Solutions
To address these needs, practical and innovative solutions must be implemented, including:
- Free distribution of hygiene products: Public spaces can be equipped to provide sanitary pads and other necessary items.
- Installation of sanitary pad and hygiene bag dispensers in public restrooms: Ensuring easy and discreet access to hygiene products.
- Education and awareness campaigns: Informational initiatives that help promote a greater understanding of these issues.
Mar Plast’s Solutions
At Mar Plast, we have developed numerous products designed to meet these needs. One of our key innovations is Artemis, an advanced sanitary pad dispenser created to ensure easy product access. Simple to use and refill, Artemis is compatible with most individually wrapped sanitary pads. More than just a dispenser, it represents an inclusive solution for making public spaces truly, and increasingly, accessible.
We also offer a range of hygiene bag dispensers for sanitary pads, practical and discreet polyethylene bag dispensers designed for feminine hygiene products. These are available in a white version, suitable for any environment, as well as in the Colored, Ecolored, and Lineacqualba series, available in chrome and satin finishes.
Our collection of hygiene bag dispensers also includes stainless steel models and the Milady Plus. For each model, we provide refill packs of polyethylene bags, a hygienic and recyclable material.
Finally, we offer specialized sanitary bin lids with a deodorizing tablet slot, available in black, satin, and white versions. These lids allow easy disposal of diapers and sanitary pads into the concave section of the cover, also available in a mini version.
A Collective Commitment
Ensuring access to safe products in welcoming environments is a shared responsibility. At Mar Plast, we are actively working on this commitment by developing ideas and solutions to make hygiene more accessible to all.
