POLL RESULTS

In participation with Aunt Flow, and inspiration from Free The Tampons, CRP asked:
"Do you know of any public places, businesses, or workplaces that provide free menstrual products in the restroom?"

Half of our respondents marked "Yes" and the other half "No"!



Of those answering Yes, some shared the names of these places, which include:
  • City of Columbus Rec Centers (some)
  • Ohio State
  • Scioto Ridge United Methodist Church
  • Jeni’s Ices Creams
  • Cap City Diner

Kudos to the above organizations for providing free menstrual products!
