Ƶapp Going with the Flow

Going with the Flow addresses the significant barriers the costs of menstrual products can have on students, many of whom are challenged with difficult decisions such as choosing between purchasing textbooks, food, or menstrual products. 

Originating in 2019, the Library-led and Ƶapp Creativity and Innovation grant-funded pilot project provided free menstrual products at the Lansdowne Library. Supported by Ƶapp Student Affairs in 2022, the popular initiative now supplies menstrual products in five buildings across two campuses.

Project aims

  • to reduce the financial burden on people who menstruate;
  • to decrease stigma surrounding menstruation;
  • to empower all menstruating people with a safe and supportive environment, so they can focus on their education rather than worrying about how to meet this basic health care need.

Project outcomes

  • makes a positive and immediate impact on student experiences and student lives,
  • supports all aspects of student health – mental and physical,
  • addresses the financial impact gender inequity makes on education,
  • brings a social justice and environmental lens to the college’s facilities and the ways it conducts business.
