Hey Pandas, Do You Think Businesses Should Provide Tampons/Pads For Employees?

ADVERTISEMENT

I was thinking that first aid kits at work should have tampons, and I don't see why they don't. I buy a box and bring it to work in case anyone needs them. I'm sure many have experienced their period starting at work and not having any.

One time years ago at another job I got my period and nobody had a tampon or pad and I had to work the rest of my shift with rolled up toilet paper in between my legs. It's not fun and very gross! I think my employers should have tampons provided for their employees if needed instead of me buying them for community use. What does everyone else think?

I think employers should pay their employees enough that the employees don't have to worry about being able to afford personal hygiene products.

My opinion is that pads and tampons should be free and yes they should be provided. Girls didn't choose to bleed

YES! Some people cant afford pads etc. So this would be a big help 😀

We just had a similar thread on this and I got massively downvoted. It was a little different. Some women were claiming that tampons and pads should be free and I pointed out that toilet paper isn't free. In an employment setting It would be nice if the employer provided them but shouldn't be mandatory. It would also be open to abuse with some women grabbing handfuls of them.

Men's and women's bodies are different. Sure, we don't have to buy tampons or pads but men are generally bigger so we have to spend more on food.

Heya! I live with my boyfriend of 11 years, and our 2 cats. I hike and like exploring new areas. I garden and recently got into foraging for edible and medicinal plants. I like to be outdoors, but if I'm not, I'm playing video games or binging on sci-fi and/or anime. I like to learn different experiences people have had. As a whole, we're pretty divided. Always were I suppose. The past few years have just highlighted it. I think it's important to be compassionate and try to understand another point of view different than your own, especially then! If we each take individual responsibility to be kind, and understanding, to not be belligerent when someone doesn't agree with you, (something I have to remind myself alot), maybe it might close the divide. Alright I'm not sure how I got to that last part haha, but that's the jist!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
