Just watching This Morning on period poverty. I appreciate this may be a real issue but I just can't work out the costs stated on the website under 'The Facts' www.freeperiods.org/mission
£18k over a lifetime which equals £13 per month.

The MP said she'd spent £25 on one period?

I buy the always £1 pack and they're fine! A pack of paracetamol is like 20p?

Sorry if this has been done before but aibu?

For those whose mind us blown at the idea that those in poverty can't afford a £15 moon cup Hmm - when my endometriosis was at its worst, I cannot imagine for a second being able to insert a moon cup given I was basically dragging myself around on the floor. There is a certain art to it. And as someone else said, the practicalities when you have heavy periods aren't great.
