■ Comment from Musashino Art University

Since April 2026, Musashino Art University has installed 'OiTr (OiTel)' in the women's restrooms on campus and started providing free sanitary products. At our university, many female students are dedicated to their creation and research in a campus environment with specialized facilities and equipment that support various creative activities. Starting with a proposal from voluntary faculty and staff to support them, with the great cooperation of OiTr Corporation, this time, following the Taka-no-dai Campus, OiTr has been installed at the Ikagaya Campus as well. In the future, we will continue to strongly maintain the spirit of supporting each and every student and strive to create an environment where everyone can study with peace of mind.

■ About 'OiTr (OiTel)'

OiTr is a service that allows you to receive sanitary napkins for free from a dispenser in women's restrooms. By downloading the dedicated app (free) and registering an account, you can receive one napkin every two hours. Note that you can receive a maximum of seven napkins every 25 days from the account registration date.
As of May 2026, OiTr has been installed in 389 facilities across 34 prefectures, totaling 4,310 units.

In addition to receiving napkins, the app also offers 'menstrual cycle prediction' and 'health management' features, and we have received feedback such as 'It's convenient to record while receiving napkins' and 'The prediction is accurate'. Furthermore, through the media 'Always OiTel', we provide information on women's mental and physical concerns, menstruation, and health, supporting a society where women can make positive choices with peace of mind.

■ Background of OiTr

OiTr Corporation started with the mission of 'solving social issues through business'. Among them, we focused on the issue of 'menstrual poverty' caused by gender gaps.
In Japan, there are women who cannot access sanitary products or hygienic environments due to economic and social reasons, which leads to invisible social losses such as loss of educational opportunities, difficulty in employment, and psychological burden.

'Why aren't sanitary products always available in restrooms when toilet paper is?' — Starting with this simple question, our company has started initiatives to change societal awareness and environments from the most familiar space in daily life, the restroom.

■ Initiatives for 'Menstrual Poverty'

In Japan, 'menstrual poverty' is often seen as an economic issue, but globally, it refers to a state where one cannot access not only sanitary products but also clean water, hygienic environments, and education related to biology and reproduction, which are minimally necessary for menstruation. The inability to access sanitary products is not just a material problem but has a serious impact on the entire life, including dignity, health, education, and labor. While measures such as free provision, reduced tax rates, and tax abolition are progressing worldwide, in Japan, support is still limited to the municipal level. Our company hopes that this initiative will be a trigger to review what has been taken for granted and create an environment where sanitary products are 'naturally available' in daily life. We hope that this initiative will be the first step towards a society where everyone can live with peace of mind, and that more empathy and action will spread.
