Aunt Flow is a mission-driven company that supplies free, sustainable period products and dispensing systems to businesses, schools, stadiums, and other public facilities while running a donation program to fight period poverty and stigma.[6][5]
High-Level Overview
Aunt Flow builds bathroom dispensers, refill cartridges, and retail/display solutions stocked with organic-cotton pads and tampons so organizations can offer period products free-to-user in restrooms and common areas.[5][6] The company serves facilities teams, employers, educational institutions, stadiums, and any organization that wants to provide inclusive menstrual care to employees, students, patrons, and guests; large customers have included Google, Netflix, Princeton University and multiple professional sports venues.[5][1] Aunt Flow’s core value proposition is removing stigma and barriers by treating period products like other free restroom necessities (toilet paper), while using sustainably made products (organic cotton, plastic- and BPA-free tampons) and a “people helping people” donation model—Aunt Flow donates products to people in need (their Impact Program has donated millions of items since launch).[5][1][2]
Origin Story
Aunt Flow was founded by Claire Coder when she was a teenager after an experience of being caught without period supplies in public motivated her to create an on‑site solution; she launched the company in 2016 and has positioned it as both a social enterprise and a facilities-product vendor.[6][5] Coder is a Forbes 30 Under 30 alum and a Thiel Fellow; her background includes prior entrepreneurial projects as a teen and public advocacy for menstrual equity.[6] Early traction came from selling dispensers and refills into schools, workplaces and high‑visibility customers, which helped the company scale nationwide and internationally and later extend into related facility products (including a PPE/facilities line during COVID-19 under “Work Flow”).[5][4]

Quick Take & Future Outlook
What’s next: Expect continued expansion into large enterprises, education systems, and venue partnerships, plus deeper integration with facilities procurement channels and potential new product lines in sustainable personal- and facilities-care.[5][4] Trends that will shape the journey include stronger corporate DEI/ESG reporting, municipal or institutional policies mandating free menstrual products, and ongoing demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional period products.[6][1] If Aunt Flow sustains product quality, supply-chain scale, and its impact narrative—while expanding distribution partnerships—it is well-positioned to further normalize free period-product access in public and private bathrooms and to increase its donation impact.[5][1]
