Egal Pads on a Roll dispenser mounted in a school restroom stall
For schools & universities

So no student has to miss out.

Free pads in every stall mean students stay in class, in the game, and in the moment — even when their period shows up unannounced.

Meet the product

Free pads, right where toilet paper already is.

Pads on a Roll mounts in every stall beside the toilet paper. Students just take one — no coins, no walking out of the stall, no asking a teacher or nurse.

It restocks like a roll of toilet paper and costs a fraction of traditional dispensers, so custodial teams can keep every restroom stocked across a whole campus.

Why it matters in schools

Period access keeps students in the room.

A surprise period shouldn't cost a student a class, a test, or a practice. Products in the stall remove the awkwardness of asking and the stress of being caught off-guard.

Laws are now mandating that products be made available for free in schools. Pads on a Roll makes compliance simple — and makes students feel cared for.

Access changes outcomes

The solution is equity.

Scotland led the way as the first country in the world to make period products free in public spaces. Northern Ireland followed with a commitment to providing them in schools and government buildings.

Across the United States and around the world, governments and school systems are expanding free period-product access. It is a fundamental need—and with Pads on a Roll, providing it can be as easy as offering toilet paper.
