February is Period Dignity Month. A chance to get people talking openly about periods and challenge stigma - it's not taboo!

This year's theme is Periods in Sport. It takes inspiration from the upcoming 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Glasgow City Council, together with its Period Friendly partner Simon Community Scotland, provides free period products in around 400 locations across Glasgow.

You will be able to find products in:
