Recently, a woman reported that she had her period early while taking the high-speed rail, but was unable to buy sanitary napkins on the high-speed rail. For a time, the discussion about "whether it is reasonable not to sell sanitary napkins on the high-speed rail" has heated up.

　　According to Pear Video, on September 15, a netizen said that she had her period early while taking the high-speed rail, but was unable to buy sanitary napkins on the high-speed rail. In the end, the flight attendant helped her find one to avoid embarrassment.

Railway 12306 responded that sanitary napkins are not normally sold and belong to private goods.

As for the proposal (equipment), there is no way to suggest it. If it can be sold, it will be sold long ago.

　　Red Star News reporters found on the Internet that it is not an exception for girls to urgently need sanitary napkins on the high-speed rail.

On July 18, a netizen said that her aunt suddenly came to the high-speed train. She did not bring sanitary napkins, nor did they sell them. After consulting the flight attendant, she borrowed one for her.

On August 31, a netizen posted that on the train from Jiangshan to Hangzhou East, a period suddenly came. She asked the conductor that it was not for sale, and asked the girls around her to borrow it, but they all said no.

"I'm so desperate, I can only temporarily use a thick folded paper to cover the emergency... I really recommend selling my aunt's napkins (sanitary napkins) on the high-speed rail."

　　As a sanitary product used by women during menstruation, many netizens suggested that the high-speed rail sells sanitary napkins. "Vending machines can also be used. This is a manifestation of respecting female passengers and paying attention to details." A netizen said that beer and playing cards were sold on the high-speed rail. Wait, sanitary napkins are not some incomprehensible need.

　　Railway 12306 customer service told the Red Star News reporter that there are indeed no sanitary napkins on the train. Passengers in need can ask the staff on the train for help. If the private person has sanitary napkins, they will definitely help; if the staff does not, they will also help Check with other female passengers in the vehicle to see if anyone is wearing sanitary pads.

　　Regarding whether to consider selling sanitary napkins, the customer service of Railway 12306 said that they have received and registered the relevant opinions on "high-speed rail sales of sanitary napkins", which will be transferred to the relevant departments to decide whether to adopt it.

　　However, some netizens soon discovered that not all high-speed rails do not sell sanitary napkins.

A Red Star News reporter noticed on the official APP "Kunming Railway +" of the Kunming Railway Bureau that when entering the ordering service, there are sanitary napkins in the daily necessities, and a pack of them is priced at 6 yuan. As of press time, the cumulative sales volume is 12,049 packs.

Excluding hot-selling products such as box lunches, mineral water, and paper towels, the cumulative sales of sanitary napkins in daily necessities are second only to playing cards.

The customer service of Kunming Railway Bureau told the Red Star News reporter that after scanning the QR code through the APP, if the train is equipped with related products, the conductor will deliver the products to the passenger seat.

　　Why do some trains sell sanitary pads?

The customer service of Railway 12306 said that there are 18 railway bureaus across the country, and the procurement standards for dining car products are not the same.

"Except for some dining car services being outsourced, each railway bureau will have a set of standards that stipulate what can be sold and what can't be sold, such as instant noodles and box lunches, and charging treasures can be sold on some trains. Some are not, and each railway bureau is different."

　　Another customer service of Railway 12306 said that the sales standards of each railway bureau and passenger section are different. The State Railway Administration does not have clear regulations on sanitary products such as sanitary napkins. Therefore, some trains can sell sanitary napkins, but many trains do not. No.

　　Red Star News reporters searched the recruitment website and found that the passenger segment purchases a larger proportion of food in the dining car, and sanitary products are mostly limited to paper towels.

For example, the Qingdao Passenger Transport Section of China Railway Jinan Bureau Group Co., Ltd. issued a tender announcement for the procurement project of food trucks in the travel clothing workshop in March last year. There are 68 kinds of commodities on the material demand list, except for wet wipes, aviation cups, and napkins. 65 items are food and beverages.
