Step out of the shame of menstruation: Vending machines for feminine hygiene products in China

Abstract

In China, there are no public places where sanitary products can be purchased, which has recently sparked online controversy. To help women in a timely manner, we decided to introduce feminine hygiene vending machines based on social needs. In crowded areas such as subway stations, high-speed train stations, tourist attractions, and public restrooms in shopping malls, vending machines will be installed. Customers can purchase sanitary napkins of the most well-known brands and sizes for their own needs. To counteract the shame of menstruation, we will supply the machine with shiny pink bags instead of black plastic bags that represent |||||||||||||shame.||||||||||||| In addition, a portion of the money will be given to women living in period poverty. Initially, the project will be launched in Beijing, Shanghai, and other major cities and is open to the entire nation. By focusing on women's physiological requirements and accepting social responsibilities, we tend to improve our understanding of menstruation in society, combat menstrual shame, and promote gender equality.
