Period Products for Schools
Americhem supplies dispensers, tampons, pads, and accessories to help schools keep period products accessible and restrooms stocked.
Support Student Health, Dignity, and Uninterrupted Learning
Accessible products, fewer school-day interruptions, student well-being, and dependable availability are the goals of a school period-product program. A reliable program needs more than an initial product order: it needs appropriate restroom placement and ongoing replenishment.
More Than Products—A Complete School Program
Americhem helps schools review facilities and restrooms, select dispensers, plan product quantities, recommend placement, and organize inventory and refills. Multi-school or district coordination helps maintain dependable access across buildings.
How the Program Works
- Evaluate your school's needs. Review restroom locations, current product access, student population, dispenser coverage, and existing procedures.
- Select dispensers and products. Choose appropriate dispensers, pads, tampons, disposal accessories, and initial product quantities.
- Plan placement and refills. Establish where products will be available, who will monitor inventory, and how replacement stock will be ordered.
- Maintain reliable access. Continue receiving products and support as usage patterns, enrollment, or facility needs change.

State Action Is Making Period-Product Access a School Priority
Pennsylvania continues to fund free period products in schools, while Maryland law requires public schools to provide them through restroom dispensers. Americhem helps schools turn available funding and state requirements into a dependable program with the right products, placement, inventory, and replenishment plan.
Pennsylvania: Act 55 Funding
Pennsylvania's 2026–27 budget includes another $3 million to support free period products in schools, continuing the funding initiative established under Act 55 of 2024. Products purchased through this funding are provided to students at no cost. Americhem can help your school turn available funding into a practical plan for products, dispensers, placement, and ongoing replenishment.
Maryland: Education § 7-449
Maryland law requires public schools to provide menstrual hygiene products at no charge through restroom dispensers. Public middle and high schools were required to install dispensers in all women's restrooms by August 1, 2025. Public elementary schools must provide dispensers in at least one restroom. Installation is only the first step: a dependable program also requires consistent product availability.
Funding, allocations, eligibility, and legal requirements may change. Schools should confirm current guidance with the appropriate state and local authorities. Americhem provides product and program-planning support and does not offer legal advice.
School Period-Product Assessment
Americhem can help your school or district evaluate restroom locations, dispenser options, product quantities, and ongoing refill needs. The assessment covers restroom and facility needs, pads, tampons and accessories, placement considerations, refill and inventory planning, and multi-building implementation.
Tell Americhem about your facilities, current program, and goals. A representative reviews your information, contacts you to discuss your needs, and recommends appropriate dispenser, product, inventory, and refill options.
Frequently asked questions
What is a school period-product program?
A school period-product program ensures that pads, tampons, and related supplies are consistently available in school restrooms. It typically includes dispensers, an initial product supply, and an ongoing replenishment process so students always have access to what they need.
What products can Americhem provide?
Americhem supplies wall-mounted and free-standing dispensers, organic cotton pads, tampons, liners, and restroom accessories such as disposal bag dispensers. Products can be selected individually or as a complete program package.
How many dispensers does a school need?
The number of dispensers depends on your facility size, number of restrooms, and student population. Americhem can help estimate appropriate coverage based on a review of your buildings and current access points.
Where should dispensers be installed?
Dispensers are typically placed in student restrooms throughout the building, including multi-stall restrooms on each floor. Placement in nurse's offices, locker rooms, or gender-neutral restrooms may also be appropriate depending on your school's layout.
Can Americhem support an entire school district?
Yes. Americhem works with individual schools, multi-building campuses, and full school districts. Program details, product quantities, and replenishment schedules can be tailored to each location within a district.
How are dispensers monitored and refilled?
Refill schedules are typically established based on usage estimates and building size. Americhem can help you set up a recurring order process to ensure stock is on hand before dispensers run low.
Can Americhem help us plan around an approved budget?
Americhem can work with schools operating under state-allocated funding, grants, or approved line items. The assessment process is designed to identify product options that fit your program scope and available resources.
Can we request information without knowing exactly what we need?
Absolutely. The assessment form is designed for schools at any stage of planning, including those just starting to evaluate options. Americhem will review your situation and help identify what a program would look like for your school.
Is there a cost to request an assessment?
No. Submitting a school assessment request is free and carries no obligation. An Americhem representative will review your information and follow up to discuss what support may be appropriate for your school.
