Equality across the airport — from menstruation to menopause.

See how dnata UK put free period products within reach of a 24/7 ground-handling workforce across six airports — and why the same model works for any terminal.

Meet the product

Free pads, right where toilet paper already is.

Pads on a Roll mounts in every stall beside the toilet paper. Workers and travelers just take one — no coins, no kiosk, no leaving a station to hunt for products.

It restocks like a roll of toilet paper and costs a fraction of traditional dispensers, so it scales across terminals and always-open restrooms.

Why dnata went all-in

A workforce that can't simply step away.

After meeting Egal at the ICAO Global Aviation Gender Summit, dnata UK rolled out Pads on a Roll for a 24/7 ground-handling operation — anchoring their wider Menstruation to Menopause campaign and a certified Period Positive Workplace.

No one carries around toilet paper, so no one should have to carry around period products — especially not while turning aircraft on the apron.

Better with Egal

Made for high-traffic, always-open airports.

A low-cost amenity that scales across terminals and keeps staff and travelers supported around the clock.

A lifesaver far from home

Travelers and crew caught out mid-shift or mid-journey get what they need in the stall, without missing a beat.

Stocked around the clock

Rolls refill in seconds, so even the busiest terminal restroom stays supplied through every wave of flights.

Menstruation to menopause

Part of a Period Positive Workplace that signals real support for the whole workforce, not a one-off gesture.

Plant-based and low-waste

Our plant-based pads are tested compostable and biodegradable, using a fraction of the packaging of boxed products.

What people actually say

Unedited feedback from workplaces, venues, and travel hubs.

"No one carries around toilet paper, so why should anyone have to carry around period products?"
Adel Johnson, HR Director, dnata UK
"I got my period unexpectedly at the game and had no products on me and a 4 hour journey home. This was an absolute life saver!"
Allianz Stadium Fan
"Thank you for saying yes to having this initiative. It is so much more practical and helpful than having products available outside of the cubicles. It saves so much stress and embarrassment and missing out. Our bodies are not predictable and this is just a genius initiative that I sincerely hope others follow. Thank you."
