Free emergency period products

Find them in toilets across campus.

Did you know that if you find free sanitary pads and tampons in selected toilets across campus? 

These are really useful to know about if you need one in an emergency, and save you having to buy a whole packet. 

(However please make sure you only take what you need.)

The University sources the products from Time of the Month (TOTM), a certified B Corporation that has a great sustainable ethos. 

The pads and tampons are:

  • made with certified organic cotton - grown without toxic, synthetic pesticides and using sustainable farming methods. Organic cotton also produces fewer greenhouse gases and uses less water and energy
  • designed to reduce waste, with no plastic packaging or applicators - to help reduce the 200,000 tonnes of waste generated every year by menstrual products in the UK
  • trademarked vegan - free from animal ingredients since 1990

TOTM also supports charities such as Endometriosis UK and In Kind Direct, who deliver essential products to those in need.
