03 • Gender equality • Menstrual hygiene
Dignity on every day of the month
Dovey puts sanitary napkins within reach whenever a woman or girl needs one, at school, at work and in public places, so a period never means missing class, a shift or a day out.
The challenge
A period should never mean a missed day
Our answer: Dovey machines put napkins within reach in the washroom, quietly and instantly.
Choose your Dovey
Three models, one goal: no girl or woman left without a napkin
Pick the model that fits your footfall, budget and need for data. Every Dovey is designed for hygienic, private access and pairs with a Sanico incinerator for safe disposal.

Testimonials
What our clients say
“Adolescent girls in our school often missed classes or left early during sudden periods because they hesitated to ask teachers for pads. The Dovey vending machine in the girls’ common room changed that. It is easy to use, accepts both coins and UPI QR codes, and ensures dignified, round-the-clock access.”
Headmistress, Zilla Parishad Senior Secondary School
“True workplace wellness needs tangible, on-ground amenities. Installing Dovey sanitary napkin dispensers across our office campuses showed genuine care for our women colleagues. The machines are sleek and reliable.”
VP – Human Resources, Financial Services Company
