Require period product packaging to include information about health
Make it a legal requirement for all period product packaging to include information to show that period patterns are an indicator of physical health. Clear information on warning signs of periods indicating potential underlying gynaecological diseases and cancer. Early recognition saves lives.
Millions of people in the UK experience symptoms — yet most do not realise these can be early signs of serious conditions and even gynaecological cancers.
This petition calls for the UK Government to:
1. Amend consumer packaging legislation to require all menstrual product packaging to include clear, standardised information about menstrual health.
It could improve early diagnosis rates saving countless lives and reducing long-term NHS costs.
Turning packaging into public health prevention.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
