One irk i have with this is how in germany the solution to this is donating single use products for people with periods in need. we have to make sure that every person has a place where they can bleed in sanitary conditions! Hygiene provided (safe and barrier free access to bath and washing mashine) the monthly costs of having a period can be neglegible!
