Can I go out with a cold?

In a twist of bad timing I’ve had some bleeding in between periods this month. Had just finished one last week and now it’s started again and I haven’t got any sanitary towels left. I’ve had a cold since last Wednesday so nearly a week and don’t think I’d still be contagious from that?

It’s definitely a cold, I lost my voice so know it’s not likely to be corona virus. Can I nip to the shop to get some pads, would use hand gel before going into the shop to add a bit more protection.

I tried to order some from Superdrug but they had none in stock and I haven’t got enough money to do a minimum shop from a supermarket.

I’m contemplating making my own if I can’t get out, have some old fleece pyjamas I could use but not sure what I’d need for absorption? So if I can’t go out does anyone have an easy template I could follow for someone with very basic sewing skills and no sewing machine Grin

You don't meet the criteria for isolation and even people who do can make essential grocery trips if they have no other choice.

Do you have a cough or a temperature?
