Free period products
Reusable and disposable products for anyone who needs them.
Free period products are available for residents in a trial to help achieve period equality for all.
We've partnered with Hey Girls, a UK period product social enterprise, to provide reusable cups, and organic and sustainable pads and tampons for anyone who needs them.
Everyone deserves to have the essentials they need, and having access to period products is important for people's mental and physical health, wellbeing and future.
Take what you need for yourself, a friend or family - no questions asked.

Full packs of organic, sustainable pads and tampons are available at all locations, and reusable cups in two sizes are available at Banbury and Oxford Westgate libraries.
