[quote:Anonymous Coward 74924665:MV80Mjc4NjgxXzc3OTU5MTU5XzFCRjExN0NG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 78118922:MV80Mjc4NjgxXzc3OTU5MDM4XzNCNkVFQUU4] I spend so much on decent products because nothing is worse than leaks. Yay for Scottish women! [/quote] CVS in America had sanitary products on sale - buy one get one 50% off. Name brand too!!!! Not the “store” brand. I stocked up because that shit is expensive af, and we are taxed on those purchases. :-/ And the box quantity suggestions are a fucking joke - should lasts 3 months is a lie. I can go through a product that’s supposed to last 10 hours in a matter of hours. So much blood that if I squeeze the thing when it’s full it will legit pour out like a faucet. It’s disgusting we have to pay so much for something that means men don’t have to see trails of blood all over the walkways. [/quote]
Original Message
The Scottish parliament approved plans on Tuesday to make sanitary products freely available to all women, the first nation in the world to do so.
The legislation would make tampons and sanitary pads available at designated public places such as community centres, youth clubs and pharmacies, at an estimated annual cost of 24.1 million pounds ($31.2 million).
The Period Products (Free Provision) Scotland Bill passed through its first stage with 112 votes in favour, none against and one abstention. It now moves to the second stage, where members of the devolved Scottish parliament can propose amendments.
During the debate, the bill's proposer Monica Lennon said passing it would be a "milestone moment for normalising menstruation in Scotland and sending out that real signal to people in this country about how seriously parliament takes gender equality."
