The addition of the machine dispensing free period products comes after James Fallon High School received one in February.

Albury Council youth programs co-ordinator Bianca Edwards said the charity approached their group about joining the movement.

"We had already received donations from Share the Dignity of period products, so people knew to come to us," she said.

"I did find there was a bit of hesitation asking for them, so we would put some out on the floor at events and they would always be taken.

"But now with the vending machine, it's more discrete and people can go and get it themselves.

"It's something my committee and our youth council were really wanting, so it's fantastic to have it here."

Share the Dignity volunteers Rebecca O'Brien and Ashley Edwards gave the Retro Lane team a run-through of maintenance.

Ms O'Brien expected a third machine would be coming to Albury soon.

"The venues have to apply themselves and we've let the schools know to apply," she said.

"The time from finding a sponsor for the machine to installation can be up to 12 months ... but when they get it, they really appreciate it.

"When it was being installed at James Fallon, some of the students were coming up and thanking us."

Ms O'Brien said Share the Dignity, founded in 2015 to address period poverty, had been in Albury for five years.

"It was just me to start with, and now we've got 10 volunteers," she said.

Hobsons Bay Council in Melbourne and Port Stephens Council in NSW are among those that have joined with Share the Dignity to put machines in some of their public toilets.

When Ashley Edwards begins her tenure as a councillor, she intends to push for Albury Council to facilitate free period products.

"It's amazing what's happening here and that it is supported by volunteers, but there's obviously a big need for it outside of spaces like this too," she said.
