Extract taken from Georgia Lee .
One in ten teenage girls has, at some point, been unable to afford sanitary products. One in seven has had to borrow tampons or sanitary towels from a friend because they couldn’t afford to buy their own.
Having had this experience both ways the prices of this is ridiculous and we should get them free through the NHS and just humanity itself .
