What do you do when your period starts and you are away from home and unprepared?

• Ask your friend for a tampon/pad?
• Use toilet paper?
• Purchase a box of pads/tampons?
• Purchase a tampon/pad from a dispenser in a restroom?

If you depend on obtaining what you need from a restroom dispenser, you might want to rethink your decision.

Take 3 minutes and view the video below.

When is the last time you attempted to purchase a tampon/pad from a dispenser in a restroom? Did the restroom have a dispenser? Did it work? Were you able to obtain one?

If you come across a dispenser that is not working, or that’s empty – will you bring it to the attention of management and request that it be fixed/filled?

Be period wise – for yourself and for others.
