Reusable Menstrual Cups
ESF’s free menstrual cup program was kickstarted by a NYSAR3 College Council grant in 2020, allowing the purchase of 235 reusable menstrual cups, which were then offered to the campus community free of charge.
Two of ESF’s student clubs — The Baobab Society and the Mighty Oak Student Assembly’s (MOSA) SustainabiliTEAM — offered funding to purchase reusable pads and made reusable heating packs, both of which were also free to the campus community.
This “Flow Real” program challenged campus to build up other people – not trash piles – by simultaneously fighting the stigma of previously taboo topics and avoiding single use menstrual products that end up in landfills.
During the Fall 2022 semester, we partnered with All Matters to bring the Campus Cup program to ESF, allowing current students to sign up for a free menstrual cup. To ensure continued access to cups throughout the year, the College purchased its own reusable menstrual cups. These cups are offered to the entire campus community free of charge, along with a supply of reusable pads!
