Tampons and baby products in the same supermarket aisle is a problem

Hadn't thought of this before but... baby milk and food in the same supermarket aisle as tampons and sanitary towel is potentially triggering for women going through ivf or baby loss 🙁

Sorry, struggling to see an issue here. If they have gone to the supermarket they will no doubt be in it with families with possibly young children, babies etc (seeing as there are baby products for sale as well).

Also just walking around in the world, where babies and things related to babies exist.

When women have a new born and are out looking for maternity pads is handy, spesh if you have a screamer.
I struggled with fertility & the hardest part is sitting in the same waiting room with Ladies with healthy bumps. Although it's amazing for them, It's emotional- spesh if it was after one of my losses.

What an absolutely ridiculous thing to be concerned about.

It’s not quite on the level of only being able to access the hospital IVF clinic through the maternity clinic but it’s along the same lines.

The logic being ‘it’s all women’s stuff’. Problem is, the formula etc has to share an aisle with something,..
