Rejected petition Free Menstrual Sanitary Products

More details

Condoms are available for free at various chemists and sexual health clinics, this is of course, is a good idea, yet we choose to have sex, nobody chooses to menstruate, yet we have to purchase menstrual sanitary products, I'm sure I am not alone in thinking these products are not "luxuries" but essential for our hygiene.
Menstrual hygiene products can be expensive, especially for women on low incomes and young girls, I believe these products should be available for free for all women.
