All period products to be free

Petition Details

Sanitary towels can range from £1.99 to £4.89 or even more. For something we can’t help, we shouldn’t need to pay for a basic necessity. We don’t have a choice but to pay for these rising costs. 2 packs per menstruating female that can be collected from pharmacies. Free subscription for monthly need

Additional Information

I want the Government or Parliament to do this as females can’t go without having a menstrual cycle. Companies are making money off of our nature. An average women has a period for nearly 40 years. On average a woman spends £10-£15 per month on period products. This works out to £4800-£7200 in ones menstrual lifetime.
