Free menstrual products at any UvA location

Published on 07-07-2025
Free menstrual products were already available at some UvA locations, but now dispensers with tampons and sanitary pads can be found at every UvA location. They are located on the ground floor, outside the restrooms. This makes the products extra visible and accessible to everyone.

The desire for menstrual equity has long been strong among students and staff. The Central Student Council (CSR) is also committed to this cause. The UvA shares this vision and considers menstrual products a basic provision, regardless of financial situation or gender. Therefore, the free products are intended for students and staff who may not always be able to afford them.

Check out the locations where these products are available.

Menstrual products are still available from the SchoolSupply vending machines for €0.15.
