Abstract
Dispensing systems for bulk distribution of menstrual pads include those having a container with a removable opening for dispensing a stack of pads where the permeable layer of each pads faces away from the opening. The opening can be on the top, for dispensing in the upwards direction like a tissue box, or the container can be mounted on a wall to permit downward dispensing. In some cases, the pads are on continuous strips that are fan-folded or rolled and then dispensed from an opening in the box. In some cases, the opening has a constriction to hold on to the strip to prevent it from falling in.
