OiTr Inc. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Makoto Sakiyama), which operates "OiTr," Japan's first* service that permanently stocks and provides free sanitary napkins in women's private restrooms in commercial facilities, public transportation, public facilities, offices, and schools nationwide, aims to realize "a society where sanitary products are as accessible in private restrooms as toilet paper."

■ Comment from Hankyu Hanshin Building Management Co., Ltd.

This time, in addition to the OiTr already introduced in "Rosalia," "Emil Takatsuki," and "Myu Hankyu Katsura" along the Hankyu Kyoto Line, and "G Collection Hankyu Takarazuka" and "Bell Flora Kawanishi" along the Hankyu Takarazuka Line, we will newly introduce OiTr to three commercial facilities along the Hanshin Main Line: "Wiste," "Amasta Amasen," and "Ebista Nishinomiya." We will promote this initiative to provide women customers with even greater peace of mind and a comfortable environment in our commercial facilities, which are regularly used by local residents. Moving forward, we will consider expanding installations to other commercial facilities we operate and strive to contribute to creating a "safe" and "comfortable" environment for both customers and employees.

■ About "OiTr"

OiTr is a service that allows free reception of sanitary napkins from a dispenser in a women's private restroom. By downloading the dedicated free app and registering an account, you can receive one napkin every two hours. You can receive up to seven napkins every 25 days, starting from the account registration date.
As of March 2026, a total of 4,120 OiTr units have been installed in 367 facilities across 34 prefectures nationwide.

In addition to receiving napkins, the app also offers "period prediction" and "health management" functions, with users commenting, "It's convenient to receive napkins while recording" and "The predictions are accurate." Furthermore, through "Itsudemo OiTr," a media platform that alleviates women's anxieties, we disseminate information on women's physical and mental concerns, menstruation, and health, supporting a society where women can make positive choices with peace of mind.

■ Background of OiTr's Birth

OiTr Inc. started with the mission of "solving social issues through business." Among these, we focused on the issue of "period poverty" caused by gender inequality.

In Japan, some women lack access to sanitary products and hygienic environments due to economic and social reasons, leading to invisible social losses such as loss of educational opportunities, difficulty in employment, and psychological burdens.

"Why are toilet paper rolls available in restrooms but not sanitary products?"—Prompted by this simple question, we started an initiative to change societal awareness and environments, beginning with the most familiar restroom spaces in daily life.

■ Initiatives for "Period Poverty"

In Japan, "period poverty" tends to be viewed as an economic problem, but globally, it refers to a state where individuals lack access to the minimum necessities for menstruation, including sanitary products, clean water, hygienic environments, and education on biology and reproduction. Lack of access to sanitary products is not merely a material problem but profoundly affects dignity, health, education, and labor throughout life. Globally, free provision, reduced tax rates, and tax policies are being implemented.
