Toilet Paper Dispenser Stub Roll Section

It used to be that when toilet paper rolls ran low, operators had to decide between throwing away the low (stub) roll, or risk running out of toilet paper in the affected dispenser. Not any more. Many multiple roll dispensers are now designed to protect additional rolls of toilet paper until the first roll is completely used, thereby eliminating the risks of stub roll waste and the unfortunate occurrence of paper running out.

Sliding panels can be moved over to reveal the next roll (in horizontally-aligned models), or the next roll can simply drop into place (vertically-aligned models) once the stub roll is exhaused.

How San Jamar Toilet Paper Holders with Stub Roll Sections Work

1. Load a fresh roll of jumbo toilet paper into the main compartment.
2. Once that roll has been used down to a 5" or 6" stub roll (depending on the model), move it into the stub section.
3. The new roll will become accessible only when the stub roll is finished so that you can now use every last sheet on each and every roll without worrying about your toilet paper holder going empty.

• Meet the criteria established by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), helping make your business more accessible to people with disabilities.
• In ADA Compliant restrooms, grab bar clearance is key when choosing a toilet paper dispenser. This little bit of extra room ensures plenty of clearance for a grab bar to be installed.

• Folded toilet paper dispensers offer one-at-a-time dispensing, as opposed to roll style dispensing.
• Ideal for use in health care facilities and other high-risk establishments.

• Provides smooth, easy tearing of the tissue paper to provide reliable performance.
• Integrated teeth built right in at the dispensing level.

• Use when an enclosed unit isn't feasible.
• Provide protective shields atop the roll, acting as a guard against contamination.

• Rounded tops are not only stylish, but prevent the dispensers from being used as shelves.
• Minimize abuse and extending the product's life.

• Great for placing personal items or extra rolls.
• Show your customers that you care about their needs.

Where will the feminine product dispenser be installed?

Feminine product dispensers come in recessed, semi-recessed, and wall mount options. Determining which style will work in your establishment is priority number one. Do you have space behind the wall for the unit to be recessed (or semi-recessed) into the wall? If so, you have the benefit of out-of-the-way operation with this type of unit. Should the unit need to be mounted to the wall, a wall mount dispenser is the way to go for easy installation in virtually any restroom.

How many products do you wish to offer?

Once you know how your dispenser will be mounted, it's time to decide how many products you'll be vending. We carry dispensers that vend two or three products at a time, with varying capacities per chamber.

Single Coin, Double Coin, or No Coin?

Profitability is the next consideration when determining the feminine product dispenser that's right for your business. We carry single coin, double coin, and no coin options for just this purpose. Many dispensers are field-convertible to allow for single, double, or no coin operation, and most come pre-set on one of these settings.

Other vital components in any commercial restroom are sanitary napkin receptacles. Sanitary napkin receptacles are available in recessed or wall mount options, and can be plastic or stainless steel in composition. These receptacles make it easy to safely and sanitarily dispose of feminine hygiene products in a discreet fashion that your patrons will appreciate. 

Sanitary Napkin Disposal Bags

It's a good idea to line your sanitary napkin receptacles with sanitary napkin disposal bags to increase sanitation and convenience for restroom users, while providing a clean and easy method of receptacle emptying for your staff. Sanitary disposal bags come in a variety of sizes to fit most common dispensers, and most are made of dry wax paper to prevent leaks. Feminine hygiene disposal bags often feature an undercut lip to enable easy opening, for proper, discreet disposal of feminine hygiene products.
