Hygiene bags are made available to place used sanitary dressings inside before placing in an appropriate bin.

They encourage people to not flush sanitary items down the toilet and provide a more discreet method of disposal.

You will have seen them in hotel rooms for example, where typically there is no sanitary bin in each room.

The simple answer is No.

But they are a very useful addition to a sanitary bin service. Many people prefer to dispose of sanitary dressings in a more modest and hygienic manner.

Direct Hygiene Supplies sell dispensers at £5 for white, and £6 for chrome.

Refills are £2.75 per pack but quanitiy discounts are available. Visit www.directhygienesupplies.com
