In Australia, at least at my schools, the teachers had a small stock of pads in their desk drawers- even the male teachers and a massive basket full of both pads and tampons in the office if you were caught without one.

They are in the UK! This is a very odd comparison! Why compare a weak argument?

I teach at an elementary school, so the Nurses have pads instead of tampons, but they absolutely have a stash for students when they need them. Hell, I went and got one when I bled through my tampon during my awful first postpartum period.

Huh? What school doesn’t allow nurses to give sanitary items?

In the UK….. there is always sanitary products available in every school…. 🤷🏼‍♀️

??? This sounds sketchy. I teach middle school and the girls’ bathrooms have pads and tampons (for free) in a holder on the wall. Girls can also go to the office and ask the nurse (or the secretary if the nurse is in another building).

Schools in Oregon are required to provide them.

They were in my school in the 70s but you had to ask the domestic science teacher

Girl culture—we ask each other. Keep emergency stashes just in case. No need to involve government in any more of our lives….

What do you mean? Of course we provide feminine hygiene products….Just pads, not tampons. And no, nothing is free. The teachers and nurses pay for hygiene, band-aids, and everything else. Come on, man. Where did this ridiculous statement even come from???
