The reason why they do this is because they don't want the responsibility of you changing your mind later on. Apparently we women don't know our own minds at all and of course all 3 consultants were...drum roll please...MALE!
Now, I’m not one to care about reactions but I want to understand why this is getting angry facesOh I didn’t know this!
maybe there should just be a plug you can shove up therecan’t science come up with something that makes it’s all come out in one go or something…
there is nothing “empowering” about bleeding or breastfeeding.
I guess it could be taken that you're belittling aspects of womanhood such as periods or breastfeeding.Now, I’m not one to care about reactions but I want to understand why this is getting angry faces
I only use it for my heaviest night. When I wake up I clean it in the sink and then put it in the washing machine. It's very convenient because you have no chance of leaking as the absorvent part covers a big part of the underwear.How do you wash them ? and how often ?
my secondary school in the early 2000’s always gave us girls sanitary products. My mum provided them for me and all that, but as a teen you are often irregular, so at time’s it would happen in school with no warning. We would go to reception and they would give you as many as you needed. I thought all secondary schools did thatWhen I was in secondary school a girl I knew was given 2 sanitary towels per day from her mum. We'd have given her some of ours if she asked but she was often too embarrassed to ask. It wasn't the case that she was asking for chocolate or new knickers every time she leaked, she just wanted enough products to see her through her period.
In school I think sanitary products should be given no questions asked to help people like her who had no means of buying their own. It's not always a case of mismanaging money.
I'm not sure I could cope with them .I like to change pads frequently the thought of wearing them for that length of time and then handwashingI only use it for my heaviest night.

The other problem with period cups and non-disposable options is that they are not suitable for homeless women. They have no fixed abode, no dedicated facility to wash cloth pads or sterilise any mooncups. In fact, they'd be at greater risk of getting an infection if they were all give mooncups to use as do not have the ability or facilities to clean them.I think with young girls this comes from them being in a household that doesn’t believe periods are important enough to spend any money on tampons and pads.
Don’t get me started on some pretentious Instagramer saying that Diva cups etc are a better solution for period poverty and more environmentally friendly. I’m 30 and I wouldn’t feel comfortable using a diva cup et al so I doubt a teenager who is already struggling with getting their hands on sanitary products would feel comfortable either.
I think a lot but not all do. There are schemes but it isn't mandatory. I left school 17 years ago and it wasn't really a thing then.my secondary school in the early 2000’s always gave us girls sanitary products.

this is why when I can afford to give to foodbanks I always give non food items including sanitary items because you know other stuff is essential tooThe other problem with period cups and non-disposable options is that they are not suitable for homeless women.

When we are providing services for hot meals from the homeless in Dublin city centre, I'm always alarmed about the amount of women who come looking for the pads/tampons
I remember being surprised when going to the football and finding a basket with tampons and pads in by the ladies loo sinks .is that just my club?I think a lot but not all do. There are schemes but it isn't mandatory. I left school 17 years ago and it wasn't really a thing then.
But seems like we are both agreeing that sanitary products should be more accessible?
That article isn’t saying that sanitary products should be provided for NHS staff because they can’t afford them though, it’s saying there should be sanitary products in staff toilets as staff often work in different areas of the hospital far away from their belongings so don’t always have access to their own pads.Sorry ,but I think if the gov provide free period products it should be to those that genuinely need them .I think the NHS workers are well able to afford them ,do what the rest of us do bring a pack to work
Period products for NHS staff 'a basic necessity'
A leading consultant says staff are bleeding through their scrubs because they have no access to sanitary products.www.bbc.co.uk

In Scotland at least most public sector workplaces have free period products in toilets, not only hospitals, offices etc too. Both male and female toilets.That article isn’t saying that sanitary products should be provided for NHS staff because they can’t afford them though, it’s saying there should be sanitary products in staff toilets as staff often work in different areas of the hospital far away from their belongings so don’t always have access to their own pads.
When I worked in the NHS, my job involved going all over the hospital, and to be fair, the only time I was near my belongings was on lunch breaks and my uniform didn’t really have pockets where I could discreetly store sanitary products. Luckily I never got caught short and started my period without warning, but I think it’s a smart idea to put pads / tampons in all the staff toilets in case people do.
I know it’s not stating that but it’s implying they should be free, I don’t think they should be, there’s plenty of NHS staff sit around nursing stations etc doing bugger all and are well able to reach their belongings ,if they think it’s going to be a long time before they can access a pad put extra on before they start their shift or better still go to primark and stock up on period pantsThat article isn’t saying that sanitary products should be provided for NHS staff because they can’t afford them though, it’s saying there should be sanitary products in staff toilets as staff often work in different areas of the hospital far away from their belongings so don’t always have access to their own pads.

I’ve heard of people getting like 5 years and it’s a joke. Should be treated a lot harsher. It is similar to manslaughter. You might not set out to kill someone but it is you that caused their death through your own actions.I think if someone kills someone driving drunk they should be charged with murder and never let out of prison.
Me?yawn….. go cry/bleed/milk yourself in a cotton wool padded room
sorry I’m gonna say it,
Anything reusable is mankyit’s like reusable toilet paper. Just bin that shit. Or flush.
Literally.
