TAMPONS AND PADS SHOULD BE FREE
Breaking Taboos and Supporting Women: YellowSquare’s Complimentary Tampon Initiative
At YellowSquare, we’re committed to not only providing a comfortable and inclusive environment for all our guests but also addressing important, often overlooked needs. Understanding the challenges that menstruation can bring, especially when traveling, we’ve introduced a thoughtful new service: offering complimentary tampons and pads to our female guests.
Addressing a Basic Need
For many women, getting access to menstrual products can be a challenge while traveling, leading to unnecessary stress or discomfort. To address this, YellowSquare has begun providing free tampons and pads at our hostels. This initiative ensures that all our female guests have access to essential menstrual products, free of charge, whenever they need them during their stay.
Breaking Menstrual Taboos
Menstruation is a natural part of life, yet it’s often surrounded by stigma and taboo, even in modern societies. By openly providing menstrual products, we aim to normalize conversations about menstruation and challenge the outdated notions that create discomfort around this natural biological process.
Simple Service, Significant Impact
This simple act of providing tampons and pads is more than just a convenience; it’s about respecting and acknowledging the needs of our guests. It’s a step towards making everyone feel valued and supported, ensuring that no one has to compromise their comfort or travel plans.

Discover Sustainable Travel with YellowSquare’s Go2Green Events
At YellowSquare, we’re not just about providing a place to stay; we’re committed to making a positive impact on the planet. Our annual Go2Green events, held across our locations in Rome, Milan, and Florence, are at the heart of our mission to promote sustainable travel. Join us as we delve into what makes these events a cornerstone of our environmental initiative and how they can enhance your travel experience.
Embracing Sustainability at YellowSquare
At YellowSquare, we believe in making a positive impact, both locally and globally. Our Go2Green events are designed to engage guests and local communities in sustainable practices. These events feature interactive workshops, enlightening quizzes, and talks from leading eco-influencers such as Giovanni Mori, Greta Volpi, and Ottavia Belli. Through these activities, we aim to inspire a new way of traveling that respects and preserves the natural world.
Impactful Partnerships for a Greener Tomorrow
Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond educational events. In partnership with carbon finance experts like Carbonsink and South Pole, Go2Green supports vital environmental projects such as the preservation of Cambodia’s rainforests. This initiative not only helps protect biodiversity but also allows YellowSquare to acquire carbon credits, which we offer as prizes to participants. These credits can be used by our guests to offset the carbon footprint of their future travels, making their adventures more eco-friendly.
