Petition Details

Menstruation is a natural process which causes pain, discomfort and often nuisance to millions of women. Menstruation can decrease confidence and often leads to women stopping hobbies and activities they love as they are embarrassed, and purchasing products for menstruation is inconvenient.

Additional Information

As women, we would feel more at ease if products for menstruation were made free as it would allow us to be less embarrassed with purchasing them, and also make us feel more relaxed as instead of worrying about saving money to buy these necessary means, we would be able to continue our activities. When purchasing menstruation products such as Tampons and sanitary towels, women feel embarrassed and find it awkward, however if these were free, it would allow them to be open and easy about it.
