You go, Scotland!! I lived my entire cycle "life" being made to feel ashamed. And even in supporting my daughter, others go to lengths to make her(and others) feel like it is a disease that must be kept secret, because it's "dirty". Period necessities are very expensive.
A step in the right direction for Women's Rights- Women's Rights are Human Rights!!!!

Would it not be more effective for the Government to be providing Menstrual Cups for girls. Last a lifetime, no one use plastics, these are safer due to no chemicals or plastics like that in tampons or pads. For the sake of £25, every young woman would be sorted. They can be worn for 12 hours, swam in etc, etc. It would be life changing for a lot of young women. Lots of great advice on YouTube about them.
