Hi!
This is my first year of school nursing and I'm wondering if anyone knows if/how/where I can get free product samples for students?
Pads, deodorant, toothbrush/toothpaste.
Thanks!

Colgate for toothbrushes/toothpaste. Warning: they will send mass amounts. Crazy amounts. My first year I ordered 100 and was sent 600 over a 6 month period. https://www.colgate.com/en-us/oral-health-education/program-kits

This may already be done for the year, but they do send one box of pads and some deodorant, I got 12 mini mens deodorants this year. In years past I have gotten enough for an boys and girls for the entire 5 th grade, so about 75.
I always order as well from Colgate, but I only get 50! I wish they would send more!
Also, if your school has a PTO or booster club, ask them to help out and give you some money to buy stuff.

Bumping this thread for the upcoming school year. Please post any links to sites that offer free samples for schools. I know this goes back years, and I can't find it in the threads anywhere, but someone posted a link to a site where you could order free samples of lotions and other products. Any sites you are aware of would be greatly appreciated.

In the past, I have reached out to local dentists or community members (businesses as well) for donations of supplies for my students. I would say I get a lot of support this way. I let them know what I need or would like (usually a list) and they can pick what they would like to donate.
