Really! I have two 500ml tubs now- not the dinky wee ones. I see them in Sainsbury's and Tesco for between £3.00 and £3.50 and sometimes 2 for £5 all the time here!

That is what I was thinking originally, but not everyone is lucky enough to have the privileges that we do I guess.

I guess I forgot how bad it can be for others too, I only have 7 days of light bleeding/spotting and rarely finish the box of pads every month. I now realize that my comment was totally idiotic because I didn't think of it from that perspective.

I'm used to buying my pads on offer (My brand seems to constantly be 3 for 2 or buy one get one) at the chemist and have never actually put any thought into how expensive they could be for some. Thank you for giving me another perspective, I posted before I put any thought into it.

The pitifulness of this situation aside because nobody deserves that flavour of mean.. Are pads and tampons really that expensive or am I just a freak of nature? I only spend about £6 ($12?) a month on rag-time supplies at the most including my pot of Ben & Jerry's.

Body-shaming is for the weak and insecure.
