“The Scensible Source solution is a cost efficient, safe, green alternative to traditional disposal methods. Not only does this healthy approach reduce the labor of custodians, but customers appreciate the ease and eco-design of the system. Although no one likes to discuss disposal of feminine products, Scensibles is the best replacement system – everyone benefits: customers, custodians, and the environment!” Perry Shimanoff, a cleaning consultant who has worked with public sector organizations for the past 31 years
“Best practices in restroom servicing means there is a need for hygienic cleaning (cleaning done with microbial reduction in mind) of the insides of restroom stalls, especially the san nap (sanitary napkin) receptacles. These are seldom clearly identified or labeled as to what they are and little attention is given to them except for pulling the used bag or liner and inserting a new one. Hygienic cleaning needs to include the obvious fomite presented by the dirty san nap (sanitary napkin) unit on the stall wall.” Lynn Krafft, ICAN/ATEX Editor
Facility Managers
“Plumbing problems, sanitary and cleaning issues, and cleaner rest rooms—it’s amazing to find a product that solves all three, the day we had Scensibles installed, I immediately began getting e-mails from women in the building, thanking us for this great solution. As a property manager, I see feminine hygiene products as a problem with plumbing and clogs,” he said. “Since we installed Scensibles, we have not had a single maintenance issue related to feminine hygiene products. This has saved us a great deal of money!” D. Mark Campbell, Director of Administrative Services/Property Manager for AUSA
“The sanitary disposal bags (Securefit360 Liners) are working great inside of the restrooms here at the airport. The employees love the durability and scent of the bags. The handle on the bag is great for removing them out of the bins and the bags fit inside of the bins perfect. An important factor is the sanitary disposal bags appearance look much better inside if the bins. I actual received hugs from the employees for introducing these bags to them. Thanks for creating a bag that we could use to make our employees happy and provide the better appearance inside of the restrooms.” Melody Smith Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport
“We were experiencing expensive plumbing blockages from feminine care items at a number of our properties. The installation of the Scensibles system took care of the problem. The way I look at it, every tampon not flushed is a success story! Additionally, I believe supplying our tenants with these hygiene products reflects our concern for not only their health but the health of their patients and customers.” _Bruce Hunt, Director Commercial Property Management, The Cabot Group
“(Scensibles) are working out well. I have not sought after comments, but I have not had any negative feedback either (which is usually a better indicator). The bathrooms are fresher and there is less work for the dayporter, since we have done away with the wax bags.” Joe Blodgett Site Facility Supervisor LeChase Facilities Management
“I like the fact that women can use these bags, dump hygiene items in there, and then toss them in the regular trash. It’s much better than cleaning staff having to stick their hands in the containers and pull used products out. Not everyone wraps up their [waste], so blood-borne pathogens are a problem. Also, [some passengers] would drop needles in the sanitary napkin receptacles, even though we provide a needle container.” Ellen White, Kingston Dock The Washington State Ferry System
Property Owner and Manager
“We are pleased with the improvement in cleanliness and convenience the Scensibles bags offers our tenants. We have found the product to be a cost-effective alternative to the traditional wax bags. Our janitorial staff is thrilled with the ease of disposal.” Robert C. Tait, President of Broadstone Real Estate LLC.
Experts
“The United States EPA; Every Municipal Waste Treatment Facility in the U.S., Pump Manufacturers, Plumbers, Drain Cleaners, Septic System Installers and Waste Pumping Companies all recommend refraining from disposing of feminine hygiene products down toilets. Any solid matter put down a toilet or drainpipe has the potential to cause blockages in both private sanitary drainage systems and public sewer systems.
Other factors to consider, other than drain blockages is clogged pumps! Lift-Stations are used most-often in Municipal Piping Systems, fairly often in Commercial & less-often in Residential applications. These Foreign solids, Such as feminine hygiene products can also clog pumps, resulting in costly repairs & maintenance. Back-water Valves have flappers inside them to prevent sewage water from reversing flow to a residence or commercial property and preventing costly cleanup and damage. Feminine hygiene products can become trapped in these valves.
After 23 years in the Plumbing Trade, I’ve found yet another product that I will stand behind because it makes SENSE! With Water Conservation and Low-Flow Fixtures, solids in the drainage system are becoming more of an issue than ever. In close, I would like to express my personal appreciation for Scensibles. ‘The Plumber Protects The Health And Welfare Of The Nation’ The use of Scensibles helps protect The Plumber from exposure to Blood Borne Pathogens"

“We love your product. In the last 2 summers that we have had them available, we have had no plumbing problems with the “heads” on our tour boats. Nothing worse than trying to clear a clogged head (with a boat load of passengers.)" San Juan Safaris, Friday Harbor, WA
“The feedback has been very positive among the teachers. This is a much cleaner way for the girls to throw out their products.” Head Custodian, Middle School
“Everybody loves them! They’re a great addition to the bathroom! They’re wonderful!” Mary Erturk, Director of a specialized medical Day Care Center
“Scensibles do exactly what they are designed for-keep products out of toilets.” Assistant to President, Local not-for-profit

Very nice and convenient.
Great alternative to current system.
Scensibles are great. I LOVE THEM!!
Fills an important need.
Thank you for the wonderful product “Scensibles”. I have used them for a few years now and I feel more secure in disposing of personal products from the result of having a colostomy. Using the Scencibles at work and while away from home helps me keep the very private cleansing and disposing of the products I have to wear just that PRIVATE. When a person has to dispose of medical waste products, it can be very uncomfortable and embarrassing, due to some odors, at times. This product can be used by both men and women. It folds up like tissue and is not bulky to carry in purse or pocket. I would never leave home without them. I highly recommend this product. Thank you again, Joyce
Good idea-hopefully they will be used to stop (women from) flushing products.
I appreciate having them (Scensibles) here.
I like the fragrance of Scensibles bags-it helps make the (stall area) smell better.
All I can say is it is about time!!!!
Cleaning Staff
“We’re finding a 90-95% usage rate and getting rave reviews about the bags. The cleaning crew can’t get over how much cleaner the receptacles are and how easy it is for them now.” Manager of a contract cleaning company for a Class A office building
The bags make my job so much easier.
This product is a great idea……I like the smell very much. This is the best thing that has ever happened to us.
We need to be careful of bodily fluids.
My housekeepers are going to love these.
Before SCENSIBLES emptying the stall bins was a horrible job-smelly and dirty.
