Overview
No one should feel embarrassed or miss school or work because they don’t have the period products they need.
That’s why free, period products such as tampons, pads and reusable products will soon be available free for anyone in the Scottish Borders who needs them.
We are now looking for your views on how we can make sure that everyone who uses period products, or who will use them in the future, can access this service in a way that suits them.
