Free period products

Free period products are available for anyone who needs them in 18 public libraries across Oxfordshire, as part of a trial to help achieve period equality for all.

Everyone deserves the essentials they need and having access to period products is important for people’s mental and physical health, wellbeing and future.

There are full packs of organic, sustainable pads and tampons at all locations, and reusable cups in two sizes at Banbury and Oxford Westgate libraries.

Libraries stocking products: Abingdon, Banbury, Barton, Bicester, Blackbird Leys, Botley, Cowley, Didcot, Headington, Henley, Kidlington, Littlemore, Oxford Westgate, Summertown, Thame, Wantage, Witney, Woodgreen.

Posters within libraries will specify where to find the products so people can help themselves, without needing to ask anyone. Library staff are also on hand to provide advice about the products if anyone needs help.

People are welcome to take what they need for themselves, their friends and family.
