Citron Hygiene is proud to partner with Aunt Flow to improve access to menstrual hygiene in Canada’s indigenous communities. For every 10 Aunt Flow period products sold, 1 is donated to underserved communities with the help of the Native Women’s Association of Canada.
The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is a National Indigenous Organization dedicated to advocating for the rights and well-being of Indigenous women, girls, Two-Spirit, transgender, and gender-diverse individuals in Canada. It encompasses diverse Indigenous groups such as First Nations, Métis, and Inuit and works to advance the social, economic, cultural, and political prosperity of these communities.
Since launching the program in August 2023, we’ve donated over 9,000 pads and tampons in Canada through NWAC, with more donations planned for 2023 and 2024.
Combat period poverty and create period positive spaces free.
Safeguard the natural environment and help to slow down climate change.
Give back to local communities where we work, live and play.
Achieve LEED certification with services and products that contribute to LEED Points.
Citron Hygiene is the exclusive Canadian distributor for Aunt Flow, which manufactures and sells menstrual product dispensers and organic, sustainably produced, single-use plastic and chemical-free pads and tampons. Aunt Flow dispensers do not take payment, so schools and businesses that purchase Aunt Flow are choosing to offer period products to their washroom users free of charge.
These purchases are what fuel the donation program for underserved Indigenous communities on Canadian soil. Ten per cent of all Aunt Flow product sales in Canada will be donated for distribution to menstruators in need.*
*A percentage of all Aunt Flow sales made in the U.S. through Citron Hygiene will be donated to Aunt Flow’s U.S.-based donation program.
Installing an Aunt Flow dispenser is straightforward, especially when a Citron Hygiene Technician does it for you. Wall-mounted models come with clear instructions, or our expert technicians can do the install for you.
Yes, Aunt Flow dispensers are designed for ease-of-filling. Aunt Flow is also committed to product availability. We maintain a steady stock of 100% organic cotton pads and tampons for timely refills for your menstrual product dispenser.
Aunt Flow dispensers are designed specifically for their organic, eco-friendly menstrual products. We encourage using Aunt Flow products to support menstrual equity and reduce waste with sustainable feminine hygiene options.
Menstrual equity is the affordability, accessibility and safety of menstrual products and menstrual health education for all people. Period dignity is a state where menstruators can have and manage their periods without shame or stigma. With menstrual equity comes period dignity—all menstruators should be able to easily access period products they need, safely and hygienically dispose of period products, have access to proper handwashing facilities, and participate fully in school, work, and social activities regardless of menstruation.
NWAC’s mission is to advocate for and inspire women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+ people, and the families of many Indigenous nations. We rely on NWAC to identify indigenous communities that need greater access to menstrual hygiene.
All Aunt Flow sales in Canada will be combined at the end of each year and 10% of the total sales volume will be donated. Although donations aren’t calculated for each individual purchase, you can be certain that your contribution will make a meaningful impact.
