Supermarkets
Free period products are also available in some supermarkets, bars and restaurants. Look out for signs displayed in the building, often in the toilets.
Morrisons have a scheme for anyone to get some free period products – simply ask for ‘Sandy’ at customer services and you’ll get a discreet bag of items.
Many schools offer free pads and tampons through the government’s period product scheme. If your child’s school or college doesn’t already use this service, share the link with them to register.
Foodbanks
Local foodbanks often offer free santiary products, but the availability may change depending on donations - find your nearest foodbank.
