What the petition asks
The prices of menstrual products are far too expensive for the average woman and girl for something that we can't help and is a natural thing, a lot of poor families in the UK cannot afford mothers and daughters period products as it is far too expensive.
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 .
