Restaurant Trend: Free Pads and Tampons In Bathrooms | Eater
"Opened by Top Chef alum Claudette Zepeda-Wilkins as an explicitly matriarchal, women-forward spot, this San Diego restaurant aims to normalize menstruation and remove shame by thoughtfully stocking its restrooms with menstrual products as well as diapers and changing tables. Early on, people sometimes took entire stashes, so a small explanatory sign was added; the restaurant specifically stocks organic tampons from Cora because of the brand’s mission, and the owner currently covers the roughly $70 monthly cost out of pocket to ensure quality and accessibility." - Naomi Tomky
