Hi ladies,

Can you please advise what Western products I may struggle to buy if I move to Medan - i.e tampons/baby milk that sort of thing!

Much appreciated

Hi Leah,
I move to Medan recently, you will definitely have to buy lots and lots of tampon as they are not available here,
If you are using the shiseido brand, you also have to get it from there.
It is somehow hard to find a variety size of shoes, or slipper, what available here is mostly size 37-39
40 and 41 is rare, 42 are not available...

So, hope you enjoy Medan..

I have seen Tampax being sold in Brestagi Supermarket in Medan. Not sure about other stores. You can buy just about anything here. Nowadays there are very few things you cannot get.
