I was specifically referring to the topic of the thread, "menstrual equality," and to the idea that it should be a requirement to supply tampons/pads in any restrooms. A woman getting caught out in public without the means to deal with her period may wind up embarrassed, but that's not really a public safety issue. So, yes, I think women should carry their own feminine supplies. It's a foreseeable problem that women are perfectly capable of planning for. The availability of public restrooms and TP is different. People gotta go and you've understandably said "no" to letting the general public wee on your property.

"While free menstrual products are not uniformly provided in women’s restrooms, they are almost never available in men’s restrooms, even for pay," the group said in a statement Tuesday.

We pack tampons in our range/car medical bag. Small ones for 9mm and larger ones for 45, no joke...

A woman whose minipad is past its capacity could be a public safety issue especially if she has a communicable disease.

We'll just have to agree to disagree on the restroom thing because menstruation or urination, both are bodily functions that are foreseeable and equally embarrassing if not accommodated. The difference is that men don't do one which is probably why menstrual equality is an issue.

I had no idea provisioning of toilet paper and paper towels was regulated.

I'd really like to see the "regulations" related to that.

A lot of people don't realize that there are laws, rules, and regulations that cover just about every aspect of our lives. These included.

Isn't government great?

the report read. "Just as we have regulated the provision of toilet paper and paper towels in public restrooms, so too should we do the same for menstrual products."

Ya learn something new every day.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is calling for men's restrooms to include tampons in order to prevent discrimination against "every person who menstruates."
