@Aunt Lydia - I can't reply on the previous thread, I'm really sorry for going off topic peeps, and I know this proper winds people up, but it's important and the fact someone put a comment on saying they can't afford sanitary products and needs to put toilet roll down there instead truly broke my heart, then here's hinch who buys things for £200+ and has a trip to the tip with everything the next week like it cost pennys. She's not relatable in the slightest.
@Aunt Lydia, please look into a menstrual cup when you have a spare few pound in the bank next time. I have one, you can get cheap no brand ones for about £3.50 off ebay, I have an expensive one which are so much better, but I do have a "cheap" one as an emergency back up, whilst the cheap isn't AS good they still do the job they're meant to if you get the right size (research them) and it will help you start off until you maybe can save for a better branded one when money is a little better. They are very easy to use aslong as you insert them properly, very comfortable and they last YEARS. They're alot nicer than tampons, plus when money is tight you don't have to worry about it. I'm so sorry you're going through this darling xx
Again, sorry for going off topic but I hope some people who are silently struggling have found this useful.
To somewhat stay on topic,
@Pollyanna263 you are so right about hinch and how she could support things like this, and I hope when she's reading here (hi!) she as a woman herself gives things like this a thought.
