AIBU to think periods are normal? Disney take note!

[StripyHorse]

We've just returned from a few days in Disneyland Paris. Things were a bit manic before we went away so typically I forgot something - sanitary towels. I came on while I was there and ran out of the emergency supply I have in my rucksack and needed some more. Despite being a family resort with plenty of teenagers and women of childbearing age Disney seem to think periods are something to be ashamed of. There are no dispensers in the toilets and the shops there only stock Disney tat rather than any essential items. Instead you can only get them from the stroller hire place at the front of the park - cue a 20 minute wait in my case. I got to the front of the queue to be told they had run out -
in my limited French I managed to ask if they had any sanitary products because I needed them. Reluctantly the woman checked the stock and found some. When I finally did get some they were reminiscent of the maternity towels I used but needs must.

AIBU to think that Disney really could do better?

SDTG the train station is right next door to the park. We stayed on site and this was the only place we found.

“somewhere the size and profile of Disneyland should have NO sanitary protection available in its loos - I honestly thought that was a basic provision, not a rare luxury.”

I’ve been living in France for a very long time and don’t remember ever seeing sanitary product dispensers in public toilets. It’s certainly not a basic provision here.
