Period Dignity: Doing it properly matters

Written by Unicorn Hygienics | May 11, 2026 10:44:32 AM

At Interclean 2026 exhibition in Amsterdam, period dignity was the single most enquired-about product category on our stand. More than 63% of visitors expressed active interest in either introducing period dignity schemes or expanding their offering. That tells us something important: there is a real demand for knowledge, guidance, and better solutions in the market. And that's where we come in!

Where are you on the journey?

Most organisations fall into one of two places when it comes to period dignity. Understanding which one you're in is the first step to moving forward.

Just starting out

"We know we should be doing this, but we haven't started yet."

You're aware of the expectation - from employees, from legislation, from your own values, but the practical questions have held you back. What products? What cost? How complex is the setup? Where do we even begin?

Already providing, but...

"We have something in place, but it's not really working."

You've made the commitment but the execution is letting you down. Products run out too quickly, dispensers are frequently empty, restocking is unpredictable, and you're not sure the people who need the products are actually getting them.

Both situations are far more common than people think - and both are entirely fixable. What they share is a need for the right products, the right setup, and the right partner. That's where Unicorn Hygienics comes in. 

The problem with half-measures

When period dignity provision fails in practice, it rarely fails because an organisation didn't care enough. It fails because the practical realities - product theft, inconsistent stock levels, overly complicated restocking processes - were never properly addressed.

At Unicorn Hygienics, we've built our period dignity range around the practical realities of provision - from the very first step to full-scale, multi-site management. We believe that every organisation, regardless of size or budget, should be able to provide period products reliably and with dignity. And we have everything you need to make that happen.

Our complete period dignity range

Whether you're looking for a free-vend solution, a managed dispensing system, an entry-level starting point, or a reliable supply of period consumables - we have products and solutions to cater to customers across built for you. Here's an overview of what we offer across every stage of the period dignity journey.

Freeserve Plus — time delay dispenser Anti-theft. Smart stock management.

Our controlled time-delay dispenser is built for high-traffic washrooms where theft and stock unpredictability have been an ongoing challenge. By limiting how quickly successive products can be retrieved, Freeserve Plus deters bulk removal while ensuring genuine users always have access to what they need. Reliable provision, without the constant management overhead.

Free product dispensers — free vend Open access. Zero barriers.

For environments where open, unrestricted provision is the priority, our free-vend dispensers make period products available to everyone, simply and without friction. Easy to install, easy to restock, and a clear, practical statement that your organisation has thought about the people who use your washrooms.

Token operated dispensers — controlled distribution Structured provision. Full accountability.

Where a more managed approach is needed, our token-operated (coin or token operated) dispenser give organisations greater control over how products are distributed. Particularly well suited to education, leisure, and public sector settings where a structured, accountable system is preferred.

Selenei refill packs — entry-level solution No hardware. No installation. Ready immediately.

The simplest possible starting point for any organisation beginning its period dignity journey. The Selenei refill pack combines the dispenser and the refill into one neat, hygienic unit — no installation, no capital outlay, no delay. Available in tampons and towels, with full-pack replacement making restocking quick and effortless.

Period consumables — boxed and loose vend A wide range of choices. Always the right product.

Our comprehensive range of period consumables covers both boxed and loose-vend formats — tampons and towels across a range of absorbencies — compatible with our full dispensing range. Whether products are provided openly, dispensed individually, or stocked in welfare rooms, we have the right consumable to keep your provision fully stocked and running smoothly.
