Honouring Women with More Than Words

Real Support for Women Starts with Dignity and Hygiene

Every August, Women’s Month is celebrated across South Africa with events, hashtags, and heartfelt tributes. But while flowers, chocolates, and motivational speeches have their place, they’re not enough.

At Bidvest Steiner, we believe that honouring women means taking real action—especially when it comes to basic hygiene and dignity in the workplace, in schools, and in public spaces. It means ensuring that no woman ever has to manage her period without the products, privacy, or respect she deserves.

The Real Impact of Period Care

Across South Africa, thousands of women still face period-related challenges in silence. Whether it’s due to inaccessible products, unhygienic facilities, or the stigma surrounding menstruation, the result is the same: women missing school, skipping work, and feeling ashamed of something natural.

Providing sanitary bins, sanitary pads and feminine hygiene dispensers isn’t a luxury—it’s a minimum standard of care.

By partnering with Bidvest Steiner, your organisation can:

• Support gender equality in practical ways
• Create clean, inclusive environments
• Demonstrate corporate social responsibility beyond just checking a box

Introducing SHE: A Hygiene Standard Created for Women, by Women

At the centre of our commitment is SHE, Sanitary Hygiene Equipment, a trademarked term by Bidvest Steiner to define a higher standard in feminine hygiene care. But SHE is more than a product category, it’s a movement.

SHE represents:

• SHE Bins: Discreet, modern sanitary waste units placed in ladies’ washroom cubicles.
• SHE Packet Dispensers: Dispense sanitary disposal bags for safe, clean pad and tampon disposal.
• Sanitary Pads on a Roll:  Compact sanitary pad dispenser, designed for installation in every washroom cubicle. Exactly where they are needed the most.
• Feminine Hygiene and Vending Dispensers: Tampon and pad dispensers ensure products are always available when needed.

Meet the SHE Team: Women Empowering Women

Behind every serviced SHE bin is a woman who understands what dignity means. Our SHE Team is a specially trained, all-women group responsible for installing, maintaining, and sanitising our feminine hygiene equipment with professionalism and care.

They don’t just clean—they restore comfort and confidence. They don’t just service bins—they safeguard health and hygiene for thousands of women every day.
