Tampon selection in a commercial restroom is a program decision. The product has to match the dispenser, the case quantity has to match actual usage, and the refill has to stay available over the life of the installation.
We supply commercial tampons for public restrooms, schools, workplaces, healthcare, and government facilities, and we manufacture the menstrual product dispensers they stock.
Commercial facilities should weigh dispenser compatibility, applicator type, absorbency, case quantity, and expected usage when selecting tampons for restroom programs. Facilities moving to free menstrual products should also plan for refill availability and sourcing flexibility as part of long-term program planning.
We manufacture our SD-series menstrual product dispensers in the USA, designed to accept compatible non-proprietary refills. Your facility can source compatible menstrual products against availability, budget, and user needs, with no requirement to stay inside a single proprietary refill program.
Verify the refill format against the specific dispenser model before ordering. Vended-tube products, retail-style cardboard applicator products, and bulk non-vended products load differently, and each dispenser specifies which formats it accepts.
Vending tube does not mean coin operated. Our SD5000 free-vend dispenser dispenses 25 vending-tube tampons and 12 No. 4 box pads at no charge to the user, with no coins, batteries, or sensors.
Our SD4000WH-TO holds roughly 80 retail-style tampons on a gravity-fed system and is specified for the Comfort Plus MTB Series and other standard retail-style cardboard applicator products.
For mounting heights, clearances, and Revit and CAD downloads, see our specification guide for menstrual hygiene dispensers and receptacles. Accessibility depends on the product, its placement, and the complete installation.
Cardboard and plastic applicators are both used in commercial programs. Cardboard applicators are typically paired with recyclable or reduced-plastic wrappers. Plastic applicators are the more common retail format. Facilities select between them based on their own requirements and user preferences.
Absorbency belongs in the specification too. Regular and super options serve a broad user base, and several products in this collection are available in both.
Refill frequency is a function of dispenser capacity and actual usage. A dispenser holding 25 units needs more frequent attention than one holding 80, at the same traffic level.
Track consumption over the first several weeks of a new program, then set case quantities and a service interval against that data. Case sizes in this collection range across 200, 240, and 500 counts.
Free-vend dispensing is the direction our product development follows, and our dispensers are built for it. Implementing a free-vend program is a planning exercise covering usage rates, dispenser capacity, refill frequency, inventory management, and product sourcing.
Sourcing flexibility protects the program long term. Because our dispensers accept compatible non-proprietary refills, a supply constraint or budget change does not require replacing the hardware. Our post on free menstrual product access covers how facilities have approached the rollout.
Plan disposal alongside dispensing. Menstrual disposal receptacles and courtesy disposal bags and liners complete the restroom program.
Regular absorbency in a vending tube, 200 per case. Cardboard applicator with a petal tip and concave grip, a non-woven overwrap, a withdrawal cord sewn the full length of the tampon, and a recyclable wrapper and applicator.
Hospeco specifies this product for the D1 Series, EVNT3 Series, and EV1 Series dispensers, with the spacer bar removed from the tampon channel, and states it can be used in most non-proprietary competitive dispensers, wall mounted or recessed.
Original regular absorbency Tampax in a standard vending tube, 500 per case. A widely recognized consumer brand, individually wrapped, classified as a Class 2 medical device.
Specified for use in our SD5000, SD7000, SD8000, and SD9000 dispensers. A practical choice where a facility wants a familiar brand in a free-vend program.
Bulk non-vended tampons with a cardboard applicator, individually wrapped and unscented, in regular or super absorbency.
Recommended for use with our SD4000WH-TO tampon dispenser, which makes this the refill to specify for facilities running wall-mounted retail-style access.
Bulk non-vended tampons with a plastic applicator, individually wrapped and unscented, available in regular or super absorbency at 500 per case.
Suited to open-access baskets, counters, and dispensers specified for bulk non-vended product. The 500-count case fits facilities stocking multiple restrooms on one order.
A value-oriented option with a cardboard applicator, open end rounded tip, and unscented construction. Packaged 20 per box, 12 boxes per case.
Appropriate for facilities working to a tight supply budget or establishing a baseline before usage data is available on a new free-product program.
Do these tampons fit any dispenser?
Compatibility is specified per product and per dispenser model, so check both before ordering. Vending-tube products fit our SD5000, SD7000, SD8000, and SD9000 dispensers. Retail-style cardboard applicator products fit the SD4000WH-TO. Comfort Plus vending-tube tampons are also specified for most non-proprietary competitive dispensers.
Does a vending tube mean the dispenser is coin operated?
No. Vending tube describes the refill format, not the payment method. Our free-vend dispensers accept compatible vending-tube products and dispense at no charge to the user.
Can we source refills from more than one supplier?
Our dispensers are non-proprietary and accept compatible refills, so you are not tied to a single refill program. Confirm the format against the dispenser specification for any product you are evaluating.
Cardboard or plastic applicator?
Both are used in commercial programs. Cardboard applicators typically pair with recyclable or reduced-plastic wrappers. Plastic applicators are the more familiar retail format. Select based on your facility requirements, sustainability commitments, and dispenser compatibility.
How do we plan case quantities for a new free-vend program?
Set an initial quantity from dispenser capacity and expected restroom traffic, then track consumption for several weeks and adjust. Dispenser capacity and actual usage together determine refill frequency.
Are commercial tampons the same as retail tampons?
The products themselves are comparable, and several carry familiar consumer brand names. Commercial cases are packaged around volume, dispenser format, and refill cycles rather than retail shelf presentation.
