PITTSBURGH, June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "I wanted to create a new type of vending machine that would allow women to purchase pads, tampons, panty liners, and other feminine hygiene products anywhere and at any time," said an inventor, from Lake Stevens, Wash., "so I invented Amy Jo's Closet. My design ensures feminine hygiene supplies are readily available and easily accessible when needed."
The invention provides an improved vending machine that would offer female consumers pads, tampons, panty liners, and other feminine hygiene products in various public locations. In doing so, it increases accessibility and convenience. The specific patent is for the feminine hygiene machine to replace existing quarter machines, and it accepts both cash and electronic payments. It also can be used indoors and outdoors, the outdoor version could incorporate a solar panel into the design. The invention features a refillable design that is easy to use so it is ideal for public restrooms, bars, taverns, hotels, motels, restaurants, malls, airports, shopping centers, resorts, parks, public pools, etc.
The original design was submitted to the National sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
