Make female sanitary products essential and also free in public restrooms
We would like you to consider our query and if it isn’t possible to do exactly what we are asking maybe modify it slightly.
It is a part of a women’s and young girl’s life which they have no control over. Sometimes we come unprepared. However, we need to pay for a sanitary product in public restrooms which we don’t always have spare change for. There are also some shops that will not be selling them as they aren’t classed as essential which is not acceptable. At the end of the day, these products do happen to be a necessity to us girls and women. What would you do if you couldn’t afford a sanitary product? What would you do if you couldn’t buy one?

Deciding whether to provide sanitary products in public restrooms would be a matter for indiviudal local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
