For several years, free access to menstrual products is at the heart of several social discussions in Quebec. To combat menstrual insecurity and promote equality, more and more organizations are choosing to take concrete action. This is the case for several companies, CEGEPs, universities, schools and organizations that have decided to provide free menstrual products to their employees or their students. At the Marie Thread, we believe that menstruation should never be a barrier to dignity or to full participation in school or work life. That is why the company regularly offers discount for bulk purchases specially designed for institutions who want to make a difference!
Producing menstrual products for free: A social... and ecological gesture!
While disposable products still dominate the market, washable menstrual pads represent a sustainable, comfortable and eco-responsible solution. Providing reusable sanitary towels in restrooms or as part of a voluntary donation program is a powerful gesture, both inclusive and aligned with environmental values. By choosing durable products like those from Marie Thread, you show the example to your community while reducing waste from disposable protections. It's an approach that aligns with the sustainable development goals of many institutions in Quebec!
Subsidies... but rarely free menstrual products!
It must be said: Marie Fil is already eligible for several grant programs for reusable menstrual products. Some schools or municipalities include us in their local purchasing or sustainable development initiatives. However, these subsidies rarely cover the full cost for recipients. That is why several organizations choose to go further, by investing themselves in batches of products for making them available free of charge in their facilities. In addition, Ontario is well ahead on this file compared to Quebec.
Whether as kits for female students, self-service stations, or one-time distributions, the models are varied—and we're here to support you.
