Male friend of mine had a sister in a lower year at school. She hadn't gotten her period yet but she had an emergency pack with her in the event it started for the first time at school. As a good big brother he also kept stuff in his back pack in the event it was easier or more discreet for her to go ask him.

I remember him telling us and some of our other male friends asking if we've every gotten caught out without any products - when we said yes, a few of them said they were happy to carry some around in the event we needed it.

There are all kinds of reasons to normalise natural bodily functions so that all children can grow up less ignorant and with more compassion for their fellow human being.
