A reusable sanitary pad-maker felt heartbroken to be snubbed for a cheaper-made imported product after the council used her brand in its period poverty drive. Irvine s TCS-Eco director Kerry-Anne Quinn – who manufactures quality reusable sanitary pads to ‘save the planet one period at a time’ – said she was approached by council chiefs to help support its period poverty drive.
