Meet Femly, a Maryland Brand Increasing Access to Organic Cotton Pads & Tampons in Restrooms

Oct 16, 2023

With a first-of-its-kind wall-mounted dispenser for schools, businesses, and more, Femly is a game-changer!

How often have you or someone you love missed class, work, or an important event because of their period? Would having access to products at school or your office make a difference? We believe it would! Though "period poverty" is a real and serious concern for millions of women who cannot afford hygiene products, the restroom vending experience has not changed meaningfully.

Femly is a woman-owned, Maryland-based company with a first-of-its-kind smart touchless dispenser designed to increase free feminine care access in restrooms. While stainless steel dispensers in bathrooms around the country require money in exchange for hygiene products, Femly's dispenser allows users to walk up and wave "hello" to receive Femly's 100% organic cotton menstrual pads and tampons at no cost to the user.

"Selling period care online and providing our dispenser in schools and business goes beyond being thoughtful; it's good for business and supports students, employees, and visitors in such a meaningful way," says Arion Long, CEO of Femly. Long further shares, "…we are launching our dispensers at the perfect time with the implementation of the ‘Period Equity Righting an Injustice of District Residents (PERIOD) Act of 2022’ and ‘Expanding Student Access to Period Products Act of 2022’ both of which are calling for the expansion of dispensers and free organic cotton period products in public and school settings."

One current Femly customer shares, "[m]y overall experience so far has been a complete 360 from store-bought feminine products. From the packaging to the careful love put into these products. I haven't had any leaking, these pads have great hold, so comfy, and cover your entire bottom… I’m even more confident wearing gray and white while mother nature is here."
