Attempt 2: Feminine Product Machines
To: Mr. —, Union Facilities Manager
CC: Ms. —, Director, Carolina Women’s Center
Dr. —, Chair, UNC Department of Women’s Studies
Dear Mr. —:
I hope you are in the best of health and spirits.
This is my second attempt to contact you about a very important subject: keeping the feminine products machines in Union bathrooms continually stocked. My original email is below; I anticipate hearing from you within the next few days.
I’ve asked my friends to keep track of bathrooms they visit around campus in the next few days and see if the feminine products machines there are stocked. I hope that this is not a campus-wide problem, though I fear that it may be.
I do intend to contact campus organizations and see that this issue is addressed, campus-wide. As I stated earlier, keeping feminine products machines stocked in bathrooms around campus is an essential part of making UNC a supportive environment for everyone.
Thank you for your consideration. I await your response.

All women deserve the peace of mind that comes from NOT walking around with a wad of single-ply sliding around and chaffing. Bravo!

Woo Hoo! We need it. Personally I prefer not to buy them because they are like a diaper, but they are necessary in an emergency. Thank you for starting this battle, so let me know if I can help.

Thank you, ladies, for your support. I’d also ask that as you visit bathrooms around campus, check to see (a) if there even is a machine there and (b) if it is filled. Make a mental note in case we need some examples from around campus.
