Put free pads where students need them most.
Akers Business Solutions and Egal help schools turn period-product requirements and funding into a simple restroom program: individually wrapped pads, accessible inside the stall, with fast refills and less storage.
Akers territory law guide
Six markets. Six different paths to better access.
Some Akers states require free products, while others offer grants or dedicated funding. Choose your market to see the current school-level opportunity.
Laws can require pads and tampons, specific restroom coverage, or particular grade levels. Egal is the in-stall pad-access component of a broader school program; always confirm current agency guidance before procurement.
State mandate

Pennsylvania continued $3 million in school funding for free period products for purchases from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026; the program is funded but not a universal mandate.

Public and private schools must provide free products. Middle/high schools cover each women’s and gender-neutral bathroom; elementary schools cover at least one of each, with a men’s-room fallback where needed.

Free pads, right where toilet paper already is.
Pads on a Roll mounts in every stall beside the toilet paper. Students just take one when they need it — no coins, no vending machine, no trip to the campus pantry or health center. It's the amenity students remember.
It restocks exactly like a roll of toilet paper and takes a fifth of the space of boxed pads — so the custodial crews Mission Linen already supports keep every restroom stocked without adding to the route.
