Supermarket Tesco has launched a scheme to help those struggling with the cost of living crisis, specifically for those who can't afford sanitary products.
The retailer is encouraging any shoppers who need products like pads and tampons to ask for a "white envelope", at the customer service desk and workers will give them for free with "no questions asked". In Scotland, period products are supplied for free in public spaces as part of the period products (Free Provision) Act, but Tesco's scheme is offered in branches across the UK.
Customers have spotted the same sign placed in Tesco's bathrooms, which says: "To combat period poverty, Tesco want to ensure everyone has access to sanitary products.
