"Prioritised beauty products over female essentials"

About: Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust

Lloyd’s Pharmacy in Charing Cross hospital has not give woman proper due consideration when determining its stock for retail.

I needed 1 box of tampons urgently. After searching and searching I found the tampons at the entrance of Lloyds facing the wider hospital public in the very bottom shelf. The reason it took so so so long to find the tampons?

Because Lloyd’s have prioritised shelves and shelves of cosmetic skin care, a selection of men’s hair dye (really? in a hospital?) a selection shaving foam, razors, shelves of every fragrance of deodorant known to human kind, numerous different types of adult nappies. The tampon selection? You have one choice - tampax regular only - in literally the largest box on the market! Too bad if you need light or super.

Seriously, if Lloyd’s can provide more than 4 types of male hair dye for a hospital, surely Lloyd’s can provide more than one type of tampon to support female staff and patients... and have product placement so woman aren’t humiliated when making their selection
