Scotland has just appointed the first 'period dignity officer'. A man.
That really does beggar belief. I'm with Martina on this.

People who can't afford sanitary protection can't afford much else usually.

What on earth?!?

We have a basket at work that has everything we might need in it that could be forgotten. Deodorant, dry hair spray nail scissors and tweezers, hair bands, plasters and sanitary towels and tampons.

It's brilliant

Be good to have a campaign reducing cost of period pants, they are popular amongst young women, and are pricey. I suppose the cost may reduce as more women use them.

How effective are they, really?
Are they the future?

I used to favour a 'belt and braces' approach and can see they could provide more confidence in combination with a tampon.

There, is, however, the cost of laundering them to add in.
