sponsor new Loo of the Year Award Loo of the Year Awards, in Partnership with Citron Hygiene and Aunt Flow, have launched a new Award – The Period Dignity Award.
Citron Hygiene and Aunt Flow, along with Loo of the Year, are committed to advocating for Menstrual Equity and Period Dignity.
Aunt Flow is a company committed to ensuring everyone has access to period products. Dedication to period positivity requires full transparency. Leading menstrual product brands are not required to disclose their ingredients: they can be bleached with chlorine and contain synthetics, dyes, and chemicals. Aunt Flow products are made of organic cotton and none of the weird stuff.
With over 45 years of experience, Citron Hygiene is one of the world’s leading providers of washroom hygiene services and products. Their mission is to elevate the washroom experience with an industry-leading range of solutions supported by reliably on-time, hassle-free expert service.
Aunt Flow started in 2016 after an 18-year-old, Claire Coder, got her period in public and could not find period products. She questioned why she should have access to toilet paper so easily but not pads or tampons. From that moment on, she dedicated her life to developing a solution to ensure businesses and schools could provide quality period products for free to employees and visitors.
In 2022, Citron Hygiene partnered with Aunt Flow to offer free period products in public washrooms to support the menstrual movement.
Citron Hygiene is committed to advocating for menstrual equity and period dignity, helping businesses and institutions in the UK, Canada and the USA to satisfy the basic needs of menstruators by providing vending machines that dispense free period products for emergency use, coupled with proper, safe disposal units. Citron Hygiene is committed to creating Period Dignity Washrooms globally.
The period Dignity Award will be introduced at the Loo of the Year Awards 2023, and there is no additional cost to be included.
