Period Poverty
There's a huge misconception that the vast majority of bloggers - or social influencers if you are feeling fancy - are from middleclass to wealthy backgrounds which simply isn't true. I have no idea why we still insist on referring to a dated social construct that enforces limitations and passé attitudes to categorise someone's earnings; I don't care how much you pull in per annum nor how you spend it, and you shouldn't either. I grew up with a single mother and a lot of siblings, money was tight but we never ever went without: be it clothes, food or any other general necessity which surprisingly includes sanitary products...
In the last week I have talked myself into and out of typing up this article more times than I dare to count (I often worry about being self indulgent) - sanitary products aren't something most of us talk about on a daily basis for many reasons: shyness, shame (not everyone is as comfortable talking about periods, for me this is something that came with age) and because frankly they are not on the forefront of your mind - unless in use that day or within the foreseeable future; even then if you can afford to replace your towel/pad/cup/whatever several times a day, you are probably comfortable and secure, so again it isn't a huge issue. I get it, I honestly do. I've had a few period mishaps like the majority of us - bled through white trousers, ruined sheets, the lot - but never due to lack of funds have I ever had to cons...
