Was this put forward by the women in the cabinet or the men? Probably the latter.

Love how it’s always men that suddenly become the experts on periods and tampons when something superb like this happens. I started periods at 10 - heavy as hell. I used waxy school toilet paper as pads so leaked everywhere & got infections. Until you live it pull your neck in

Why does the government need to get involved? I’m sure there are plenty of perverts who would sponsor jamrags if they were to be sent the used ones. Win-win

It’s really happening! theguardian

poor taste

I'm sorry but I can't see how someone can't afford to buy a packets of tampax or towels. Maybe if they gave up cigarettes etc.

Parents are so poor?

What a load of rubbish, sanitary pads are £1 in Morrisons and Aldi. Teens in poverty my foot, people who live in temporary accommodation near me, smoke, buy six packs, and order in take away pizzas.

british columbia supplies all products free to the schools

Socialism has sure enhanced the quality of living in Wales

It's a good thing to drop pads and tampons into your donations along with clothes, food etc. BADLY needed by teens in poverty.

It's like toilet paper guys people want to be clean and sanitary.

Tell them of the health hazards of tampons. Lethal.

Welsh schools to give out free sanitary products to tackle 'period poverty'The move follows reports that young women are using socks and toilet paper, and sometimes missing school, due to their periods. All sanitary products should be free to every female, women don’t choose to have a period. Sanitary products are only luxuries if you live in a third world country, apparently we live in one of the richest countries in the world yet we have period poverty 🤷🏻‍♀️ Shouldn’t it read to tackle poverty period ! 😂 nice to see its happening somewhere. Maybe now other areas of the world will help with this problem
