Scotland becomes first country to offer free menstrual products

Scotland has made public health history by becoming the first country to offer free menstrual products.

Under the legislation that took effect Monday, local officials and education providers are legally required to make menstrual cycle products available — free of charge — to anyone who needs them.

Those looking for the products can find their nearest collection point using the PickupMyPeriod mobile app, which was launched by social enterprise Hey Girls with support from the Scottish Government.
