Our machines require no technology, electricity, or maintenance. All machines have a time lock to prevent loss, are made in Sweden, and come with 100% organic menstrual products.
Herbox is Europe's most popular machine for free menstrual products, sometimes called a period box, period cabinet, tampon machine, or menstrual product dispenser.
It may have many different names, but the purpose is always the same: to offer organic, accessible, and free menstrual products in a simple and obvious way, so that everyone has the same conditions, regardless of the day of the month.
Herbox is where the period is: in schools, workplaces, arenas, clubs, shopping centres, and at thousands of other places where people move every day.
The sanitary products should be refilled after the dispenser has been mounted on the wall. Open it from the top with the key - fold down the front and place the sanitary pads inside.
You decide! We offer pads, tampons, panty liners or a combination – everything can be tailored to your needs.
After each dispense, the machine pauses for 30-45 seconds before the next menstrual product can be taken. This reduces waste - completely without electricity or batteries.
A good guideline is at least 1 vending machine per toilet area. Contact us and we will gladly help calculate your exact needs, just as we have done for over 1,500 other customers.
You do that yourselves, but it is simple - the machine is opened with the included key and refilled within a minute. In most businesses, it is the office manager or facility staff who take care of the refilling.
Herbox is virtually maintenance-free. The only requirement is regular refilling of products. If anything against expectations breaks, we are happy to help; our machines are designed to be easily replaced or repaired with spare parts.
It depends on how many people use the machine, but generally far fewer refills are needed than you might think. Thanks to the high capacity, a refilled cabinet lasts a long time, and most customers refill it as part of their regular cleaning- or weekly routines.
Herbox is operated entirely mechanically, no electricity, no batteries. A smart design with a time lock reduces waste and ensures that the machine always just works.
Absolutely! For an additional cost, you can choose the colour and design that suits your environment or graphic profile. Is pink, black, or white not quite your thing? We can fix that!
Yes, we offer spare parts for all parts of the dispenser, so if something breaks, you don't have to replace the entire unit.
The vending machine is delivered with an installation kit that contains everything you need to easily install it yourself - tape up the drilling template, drill and screw. If you need help and guidance please don't hesitate to contact us!
We are happy to help you calculate a suitable amount based on the number of machines and your premises. You can always adjust along the way.
Herbox is built to last. The machines are made from durable materials and designed to withstand heavy use in public environments. Thanks to the possibility of replacing individual parts when needed, each machine has a long life cycle and can be used for many years to come.
Yes. Herbox uses a time delay between the dispensings, which prevents anyone from taking several products at the same time. This makes the system fair, safe and cost-effective, especially in environments where many people pass through.
It depends a little on which model you choose:
Tampon dispenser: About 70 menstrual products
Combi Pad / Tampon: About 140 menstrual products
Combi Pad / Panty liner: About 100 menstrual products

At the start-up, we recommend ordering enough to fully stock the machines as well as having a small extra inventory. Sometimes the consumption of menstrual products can be a little higher right at the beginning before everyone has gotten used to always having menstrual products available! We are happy to help you calculate the exact amount based on the number of toilets, visitors and usage rate.
We usually have a delivery time of 1-3 working days in Sweden and 4-7 in the rest of Europe.
We send out the desired amount of menstrual products every six or twelve months - tailored to your needs and number of dispensers.
Get in touch and we'll send extra sanitary products right away and also adjust the quantity for next time.
If you want to reduce the number of machines, contact us and we will adjust the subscription and future deliveries; changes in the organisation should be easy to manage.
The shipping cost is calculated based on our standardised shipping scale where the price is determined by the size of your order. This means that you always receive the fairest and most cost-effective shipping price possible, based on the volume you order.
We offer several convenient payment options:

Our factory is certified according to:
Herbox has a circular model - the machines are repaired, upgraded and reused. The parts that cannot be reused are recycled through our partners. This means that each machine has a long lifespan and a minimal carbon footprint.
Yes. The packaging is made from FSC-certified cardboard and can be recycled in paper recycling. By avoiding plastic wrapping, we reduce waste and increase the recycling rate.
The dispensers have a high capacity, which means fewer refills; therefore, we send out menstrual products every six months or yearly depending on the need. This allows our customers to have planned and volume-efficient deliveries, which in turn reduces climate impact.
Not at all. Most customers save money over time thanks to fewer one-off purchases, reduced waste handling and less wastage. At the same time, you strengthen the brand by taking clear social responsibility; sustainability becomes both economically smart and good for people.
Yes! All products in Herbox are organically certified according to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), one of the world's most recognised labels for organic textiles.
Yes! Our menstrual products are certified with the very best certifications globally and made without fragrance, plastic film, or unnecessary chemicals. They consist of organic fibres that are gentle both on the body and the environment. We only collaborate with suppliers who meet high standards for working conditions and sustainable production.

Herbox reduces the transportation, packaging, and waste amounts normally required when several small packages are purchased continuously. Through smarter distribution, larger packaging, and refill systems, CO₂ emissions are significantly reduced. Many customers use this as part of their sustainability efforts and ESG reporting.
For us at Herbox, sustainability has been a given starting point from day one. We work with circular vending machines, waste-reducing systems, and menstrual products made from 100% organic cotton, not as a response to a trend, but as a fundamental principle in how we build our business.
In an industry where environmental requirements and expectations have changed rapidly, we are proud to have chosen materials and solutions from the start that maintain a high sustainability standard. This allows us to offer a comprehensive solution where environmental consideration and social responsibility carry equal weight, without compromise.
Herbox is about more than just offering free menstrual products; it's about creating safer, more equal environments where everyone can participate on equal terms. When menstrual products are available exactly when they are needed, stress, stigma, and absenteeism often caused by lack of products are reduced.
In addition to this, since the beginning we have chosen to contribute to global equality by donating 1% of our annual profit to the Swedish foundation Kvinna till Kvinna (Women to Women), an organisation that supports women in vulnerable situations worldwide. In this way, every Herbox installation can make a difference both locally and globally.
