TOTM - The Crazy Truth About Tampons

Right now in the UK, tampons are not subject to product-specific safety regulations requiring full ingredient labelling, rigorous safety testing, or ongoing post-market monitoring. This petition calls on the Government to introduce these protections, so people can make informed choices about products used inside their bodies and have confidence they’ve been properly tested.

If 100,000 people sign, Parliament will debate it. It takes 30 seconds to help change nearly a century of outdated oversight. Women’s health deserves transparency. Women’s health deserves modern safety standards.

Sign the petition through the link in our bio.

They came for the vows and the rings, but stayed for the dirty martinis, the margaritas and trash dancing.

Loyal as a northern house, loud as a tavern full of bards.

Friends like this turn a wedding into a saga (and a kitchen full of onions half cut).

I promise you the strength and loyalty of Brienne of Tarth,
the adventure and blunt honesty of Arya Stark,
the protection (non-toxic, I swear) of Cersei Lannister,
the kindness and sense of justice of Daenerys Targaryen
(without burning anyone, I promise),
and the deep calm of someone who’s done running. taken in Cecina, Italy by @xander_macrae
