Sometimes asking for a pad or tampon in public can be a difficult and awkward experience however the supermarket chain Morrisons has introduced a method to make it a bit easier.
You can now discreetly ask staff for a 'package for Sandy' and receive sanitary products for free and with no fuss, as WalesOnline reports. Package for Sandy was introduced in 2021 to help battle period poverty and now the initiative is available in 497 stores across the UK.
The scheme is similar to that of 'ask for Ani' in Boots where people can seek help from domestic violence and 'Ask for Angela' in a bar, pub, or club when people feel unsafe on dates. One of our reporters tried out the initiative, to see if they would be successful in different Morrison's asking for Sandy.
