Apparently feminine hygiene products have disappeared from the bathroom vending machines at Irvine Valley College, according to Rebel Girl, one of the bloggers on Dissent: The Blog of the South Orange County Community College District.

She reports that a sign was posted telling women the products are available in the nurse’s office in the Student Services Center.

“Of course, the helpful Health and Wellness Center is located some distance from many of these facilities and, most importantly, has limited hours while the physical needs to students, staff, faculty and visitors do not,” Rebel Girl wrote. “This is perhaps especially pertinent for students who take classes in the evening.”

This is an interesting development considering the majority of college students nationwide are now women.

By the way, for men who don’t frequent women’s restrooms, many if not most women’s restrooms have vending dispensers for feminine products. At our office, they cost 10 cents. According to Rebel Girl, the dispensers at IVC cost a quarter.

Here’s the entire blog post about the issue
