Osan City launches trial operation of free sanitary product dispensers in public restrooms

[Suwon Ilbo = Reporter Seo Dong-young] Osan City announced on the 17th that it has begun trial operations of free emergency sanitary product (menstrual pad) dispensers in the women's public restroom in front of Osan University.

This follows the enactment of the 'Ordinance on Promoting Osan City as a Women-Friendly City,' which established the basis for placing emergency sanitary pads for women in public facilities, schools, and public restrooms.

The restroom cleaning staff will manage the dispenser along with other sanitary products such as toilet paper.

The city plans to verify citizen satisfaction and daily consumption rates by the end of this year, and from next year will secure a separate budget to expand the installation of dispensers.
