A British woman who suffers from heavy periods because of an abnormal blood condition is putting up pad and tampon stations in businesses and supermarkets around her hometown. 

Since age 14, Rochelle Brown, now 32, of Scunthorpe, England, has had Von Willebrand disease that makes it hard for blood to clot, leading to excessive bleeding during menstruation, BBC reports. 

An experience in the past when she ran out of sanitary napkins during a particularly heavy time prompted Brown to put up Period Points where other women can get pads and tampons for free when they have their period.

Brown hopes to launch 10 Period Points next month in stores like Asda and Tesco, and she appealed to businesses to host a kiosk, sponsor a donation point, or donate funds for buying a  supply, according to BBC. 

Meanwhile, a female firefighter in Florida, USA, recently vandalized her ex-boyfriend’s home where he lives with his new girlfriend.

The bizarre action of Gabrielle Franze, a 28-year-old smokejumper with the Orange County Fire Rescue, on 29 September was reported by her ex’s new girlfriend to the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office the following day, after the couple discovered 75 red-stained tampons in the yard, New York Post (NYP) reports. 

The home’s surveillance camera caught Franze’s truck driving up around 10 p.m. and dumping the seemingly used tampons, according to NYP. 

Franze was arrested on 3 September and she pleaded not guilty to two counts of misdemeanor stalking, NYP reports.
