High street giant Marks and Spencer (M&S) has been praised for offering an 'amazing' gesture of kindness to all staff members. The retailer has been thanked for the 'brilliant' initiative, and now shoppers want other retailers to follow.
M&S is giving all staff members a free pack of period knickers worth £20. The incentive is available to all staff members, and not just women.
Posting on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Louise Angharad Selo said: "All Marks and Spencer colleagues are entitled to a free pack of period pants from the selection in the screen shot. It's available through the colleague's sparks app and the offer is not limited to people who menstruate, so even if you don't need them, someone you know might do.

"I'm really looking forward to trying them and saving money on period products (though M&S do provide free period products to staff too) and being a bit more environmentally friendly."
Caroline Turner said: "This is amazing that M&S do this and I think more companies should offer free menstruation products or the government should on prescription. Well done Marks and Spencer."
Danni Ball said: "No, this is an amazing incentive. Kudos to M&S." Kim Walker said: "I've ordered mine. M&S are such a great company to work for."
Lyndsey Zara Johnston commented: "Omg what a wonderful company to do that for their staff." Margaret Mellor suggested: "If you don’t need them why not donate to a period poverty charity. This is what I have done."
Yasmin Feliha agreed: "Even if people with this offer don’t want to use them I’m sure you could donate them to a shelter or somewhere for people who may struggle to afford menstruation products."
Heather Hamilton added: "I'd implore all M&S staff to apply for these and if not planning on using them, donate them to their local food bank. Could be a lifesaver for someone woman."
Bravo, M&S. Bravo.
