Menstruation is not a choice. Discussion of menstruation and the realities of dealing with it has, for too long, been suppressed by taboo. Oregon State University's refusal to supply restrooms with accessible menstrual products is a form of sex discrimination. Not only is it wrong to charge women and non-cis menstruators for dealing with unavoidable bodily functions, the vending machines have variable charges and are not placed or stocked consistently. It should not be the sole-responsibility for menstruators to carry their own supplies, especially when financial status (or just irregular cycles) may prevent them from doing so. The university acknowledges that safe-sex is a health concern and provides free condoms. It is time to apply that philosophy to menstruation. Sign this petition to demand that OSU accommodate its students' physical needs and provide menstrual supplies at no charge.

Thank you for providing these. I had an emergency and was so thankful these supplies were available in the restroom.

THIS IS IMPERATIVE. IF YOU GIVE US FREE CONDOMS PLEASE DO THE SAME FOR AN INVOLUNTARY FEMALE FUNCTION.

Literally had to leave class last week because i didnt have cash for the machine and i was completely out. This is basic hygiene and needs to change already.

ALL restrooms should have products, not just women's rooms
