Access Free Eco-Friendly Period Products in Scotland

Your guide to stress‑free, stigma‑free, zero‑waste‑friendly support

Scotland has taken a huge step toward period dignity by making period products free for anyone who needs them — and Aberdeenshire has embraced this wholeheartedly. Whether you’re a local resident, a visitor, a parent collecting for a young person, or someone supporting a friend, you can access free period products easily and discreetly.

At Zero Waste Llama, we’re especially excited that the scheme includes reusable options like cloth pads and menstrual cups. These choices are not only budget‑friendly but also planet‑friendly — a win for your body, your wallet, and the Earth.

This is your complete guide to accessing free (eco) period products near you (in Scotland AND the UK)!

The Ethical Choice- Show Love: Buy Local, Shop Small

When you buy out-of-season produce, e.g. raspberries or strawberries in December, your eco-credentials become lower. The same applies to purchasing any food product that has been flown from outside your country or is wrapped in layers of (unnecessary) plastic. By shopping locally, and independently, (bakers, farm shops, green grocers…) it is less likely that the produce has travelled an unthinkable distance in order to get onto your plate. Not only does this support local farmers, but the produce will be wrapped in less (or even no) packaging and is fresher. The same applies to non-food goods and services.

This is just one positive, others include:

  • It is often possible to try before you buy!
  • It may be cheaper
  • Advice can be sought if required
  • It helps build your community, get social!
  • It support local businesses and entrepreneurs
  • Independent shops often sell unique and unusual products
  • It boosts the local economy
