thanks, chicks of lj!

about the previous poll:

sometime after i stopped using pads/tampons, i noticed a lot of workplaces starting to have pads/tampons available for free. these days, in offices, a good percentage of the machines i've seen (that i've noticed) look to have originally been for-pay and are now for-free.

i'm out in indiana, working at SLM's facility here, and i happened to notice that the vending machine was for-pay. and so i was curious how widespread the free vs pay is, these days. it's been over a decade since i had to worry about chunky stuff splorting out of my hoo-hah, so i really don't track this at all.

i assume it's still true that the more you are in need of an emergency pad or tampon, the more likely that the machine is empty.
