  Making the choice between buying food or tampons: for some, this is a serious financial dilemma – and one which is repeated each month. A report launched by the Department of Health and the Department of Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth has estimated up to 85,000 people in Ireland who menstruate are at risk of what is known as “period poverty” – the inability to access appropriate hygiene products. The same Government report, which was released in February, estimates the cost of these items at around €121 per year. In countries where more data on period poverty has been collected, those affected have said they have gone without food in order to buy necessary products, have had limited or no access to period products and have suffered health conditions as a result of poor period hygiene.
