All over the United States, female-bodied people have not ever had access to free menstrual products. While this might take a while to change all over the US, first, we must start small. Since the beginning of attending USF, you may have noticed that there are no free menstrual products in the bathrooms. In every bathroom on campus or just in the US in general, there is toilet paper, which is free because it is a necessity to use the restroom. This makes me wonder why there are no free menstrual products. Are they not necessary for female-bodied people when using the restroom? Menstruation isn’t a choice, it’s a bodily function; basic human biology, it is no different than our need to go to the bathroom. Female-bodied people shed the lining of the uterus monthly. Every bathroom outside the home should offer free menstrual products, so female-bodied don’t have to worry about finding them when their period arrives unexpectedly.
