Supermarket Tesco has launched a scheme to help those struggling with the cost of living crisis, specifically for those who can't afford sanitary products.The retailer is encouraging any shoppers who need products like pads and tampons to ask for a "white envelope", at the customer service desk and workers will give them for free with "no questions asked".

In Scotland, period products are supplied for free in public spaces as part of the period products (Free Provision) Act, but Tesco's scheme is offered in branches across the UK.Customers have spotted the same sign placed in Tesco's bathrooms, which says: "To combat period poverty, Tesco want to ensure everyone has access to sanitary products."If you are in need, please go to the customer service desk and ask for a white envelope.

No questions will be asked."To find out if the scheme is authentic, one person enquired with Tesco's official Twitter. "Is this true about asking for a "White envelope" For Sanitary products?," asked user Niall Nash.As reported by Manchester Evening News, Tesco replied: "Hi Niall, thanks for getting in touch.

To answer your question, yes this is correct, all a customer needs to do is to ask at our customer services and there will be no questions asked, it's in a effort to tackle period poverty as they are given free of charge.
