According to the new Period Products Act, public settings such as community buildings, chemists, libraries and public swimming pools, will be required to provide sanitary products for those who need them. A mobile app called [PickupMyPeriod](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/pickupmyperiod/id1500403938) will make products easy to find and home delivery will also be available.
