Many years ago, when VAT was introduced in the UK, it was publicised as a tax on luxuries. It was at a time when we'd yet to have more female MPs and a female Prime Minister.

Guess what? VAT was added to feminine protection. Who's bright idea was that?! It's only recently that VAT has been removed. Two female PMs did nothing about it, when they could have shown themselves to be in touch with women's needs.

Meghan Markle has done a lot to promote awareness of period poverty around the world.

Back to the question, although I'm post-menopause, couldn't get on with wings. Crumpling, rucking up, sticking where they shouldn't (ouch!!). Panty liners used now for "freshness".
