Cornell University Offering Baskets of Free ‘Mxnstrual’ Products in Men’s Restrooms
Cornell University is now offering baskets of free menstrual products in all public women’s, men’s and “all-gender” bathrooms on campus.
Signs on the baskets use the made-up term “mxnstrual,” though organizers of the “Free Period Products” project now say that they will be changing their signs because they decided that “menstrual” is “not a gendered term.”

The “Free Period Project” team is comprised of members of the Gender Justice Advocacy Coalition and Student Assembly Infrastructure Fund Commission, according to a report from the Cornell Daily Sun.
“The impetus behind the initiative is simple,” GJAC president Clara Drimmer ’22 wrote in an email to The Sun.
