The initiative means you are able to claim a dedicated coupon for a free box of sanitary pads or tampons per customer each month through your Lidl Plus app. Katie I dont think maternity pads are any better than night time pads, its just the cost they can get away with charging by calling them maternity pads. I hate the ultra thin ones no matter who makes them grrrrrrrrrr sure its a ploy to get us to buy more as they are soooooooooooo thin they have to be constantly changed ReservedSlotData.TimeSlot.DayOfWeekString}}, {{ReservedSlotData.TimeSlotReservation.Day}} {{ReservedSlotData.TimeSlotReservation.DisplayMonth}} Lidl Ireland is the first major retailer in the world to offer free period products in stores nationwide to women and girls across the country affected by period poverty in partnership with Homeless Period Ireland and The Simon Communities of Ireland.

A Plan International study on young females in Ireland found that almost 50 per cent of girls aged between 12 and 19 found it difficult to pay for sanitary products. Lidl’s new initiative comes in advance of anticipated Irish legislation and implementation of supporting measures. Still after nearly 40 years of periods I can honestly say, I have never had a happy period!!!! Just expensive onesIt's disgraceful. My babies pampers nappies were scented too - I'd run out of my normal brand. I don't know what they are doing to us with all these bloody fragrances. I would dearly love to hear everyone else's opinions as I think as women, we are being sold products that don't really live up to what they say they do.

More than a third (36 per cent) of girls aged 14-21 in the UK have struggled to afford or access period products during the pandemic, a figure which is up by a fifth year-on-year, according to Plan International UK.

Did it say they were scented? I mean...WHO uses those by choice?? Rather than reusables, have you considered those period pants? Ugh. I was caught out by always normal towels the other day. They have a tiny tiny sentence on the side saying "contains a light scent."I swear by Always Ultra Nightime, and not just for nights! They're long, have wings and they really absorb the, er...."liquid". I would especially love to hear from women of all ages, in particular the ones going through the menopause.
