Free sanitary provision

Anyone who has periods, or needs to access products for  someone else who has periods can receive products.

Free products are available for anyone in East Ayrshire. Access is not means tested, which means we don’t ask any information about income or why you need products.

All we ask is that you only ever take what you need, as by doing this, you are ensuring as many people as possible can access the products that they need.

Products include a range of single use disposable items that most people will be familiar with, including tampons and pads. We also stock a range of eco-friendly and reusable products including menstrual cups and reusable pads.

Single use items are available in locations across East Ayrshire, reusable products can be ordered online.

Yes, all the products we supply are eco-friendly:

• pads are made from bamboo and corn fibre, with no hidden nasty chemicals and 100% plastic free – wrapped individually and biodegradable, our period pads are as sustainable as you get
• tampons we stock are made with 100% organic cotton that are naturally soft, breathable and hypoallergenic, and have biodegradable cardboard applicators with biodegradable paper wrappers too
• reusable pads are made from layers of absorbent bamboo fibres, they are good for the environment and good for you too
• menstrual cups are the most sustainable solution for your period – this latex free period cup is a reusable alternative to disposable menstrual products

The provision of products in East Ayrshire takes into account the many ways in which we prepare for periods, but sometimes, we can all be caught off guard!

We have therefore made products available in public locations around East Ayrshire to make sure you have free access to products when you need them.
