Period poverty is an issue faced by one in eight people in Britain, as menstrual products cost money that families who are struggling to pay bills cannot always afford.
Scotland has already introduced the Period Products Act which provides free tampons and pads to anyone who needs them but the rest of the UK is yet to follow suit.
Often periods are surrounded by social stigmas and shaming, even though around half of the population will menstruate at some point in their life.
