I’m needing to buy some period pants for my daughter. Can someone remind me which brands are aware women and girls have periods and which to avoid?

I think you're focusing on the wrong thing.

Many brands of period pants have been found to have some questionable chemicals in them recently- you should be starting your search with PFAS free pants.

Both issues can be relevant. It sounds as though women and girls need to be thoughtful about their choice of period pants.

I highly recommend the Cheeky Wipes period pants. I was so impressed I bought some for myself as well as my daughter

To be fair to Primark they had mixed sex changing rooms before there was much knowledge of being transgender. They did use to be manned though. I'm not sure about now. I had a Saturday job at Primark when I was 17 and we had a rota of hour long shifts supervising the changing rooms. There were individual cubicles.

Primark do period pants. I don’t know if they advertise for women or not.

Sadly Primark have been fans of mixed sex changing rooms iirc.

uniqlo have some pretty good options (and small sizes for teens). I haven't seen anything odd from their advertising.
