The availability of free period products in public spaces has been increasing owing to various Government Initiatives. PickupMyPeriod directs users to the nearest location where free period products are available based upon either the user's GPS location or an entered location. It allows a user to filter on the type of products available, there is information on where the products are located within the building and the type of products available. A second part of the App provides some menstrual health education in the form of flashcards. For best results download the app and press the "nearby" button. If you have any comments or questions please email contact@myperiod.org.uk. Thanks! from the My Period Team. https://www.myperiod.org.uk/ See our accessibility statement here: https://myperiod.org.uk/accessibility-statement
