'The company I work for gives me time off when I am on my period'
A company in Bristol has introduced a period policy so women and people with a cervix can have time off, or flexible working if they need it.
The company has also introduced free sanitary products for its staff.
Megan Thompson said some months her period is very painful and it causes her to have migraines.
She said the policy has “benefitted her hugely”.
“I talk to my friends from Wales, and they’re like ‘oh no, we still have to remember our products, and we have time off we almost have to fake an excuse.’
“It’s sad that it’s like that, when you are working in a company like this with all these policies, and when we are so progressive.”
