Menstrual Hygiene Waste Disposal Solutions

Personal Hygiene is a more inclusive, gender-neutral alternative to more traditional terms like Feminine hygiene, and better encompasses the needs of all. Personal Hygiene Disposal can be used for menstrual hygiene products as well as other common personal hygiene products like incontinence liners and diapers. Units are gender neutral and work for all washrooms. Citron’s Personal Hygiene Disposal allows everyone to safely and discreetly dispose of their personal hygiene products, creating an inclusive washroom for all.

All Citron Hygiene Personal Hygiene Disposal units are hands-free to eliminate user contact with bloodborne pathogens and infectious bacteria. Customers are able to select between pedal units, which require users to step on a foot pedal to open the lid, or automatic units on which the lids open by waving your hand over the sensor.

A study by Dr. Gerba found that menstrual disposal units are the most contaminated surface in the washroom. Upgrading your old menstrual disposal units, like the antiquated stainless steel wall box, is an important step in making your washroom a safer, more hygienic place. Using touch-free personal hygiene disposal eliminates the need for users to touch the contaminated unit, and then transfer those bacteria onto other common washroom surfaces.

Personal Hygiene Disposal also creates more inclusive washrooms by making safe and discreet disposal accessible to all. Our units are intended for all washrooms, so all menstruators regardless of gender identity can manage their period in a dignified way. Our units also give those with incontinence the peace of mind of knowing they have somewhere to dispose of their hygiene products while going out.

Personal Hygiene Disposal helps to limit the amount of cross-contamination in the washroom. Antiquated units, like the metal wall box, were found by Dr. Gerba to be the most contaminated surface in the washroom! Our touch-free units promote better hygiene by eliminating the need to touch the unit during disposal. Now you can safely and discretely dispose of your Personal Hygiene products without transferring bloodborne pathogens or infectious bacteria to other washroom surfaces.

Personal Hygiene Disposal also makes washrooms physically safer for people to whom the washroom can be a dangerous place. Not all menstruators identify as women, and transgender men need a place to safely dispose of their menstrual products without fear of being outed or physically harmed. With 2/3 of transgender people avoiding public washrooms for fear of their safety, it’s time we took proactive steps to create safer, more inclusive washrooms for all. Everyone should have the right to manage their period in a dignified manner, and upgrades like Personal Hygiene Disposal are a small but impactful step in the right direction.
