> Does woman get more to cover pads/tampons?

Not sure why people repeat this so much when men's extra need for calories to fuel their larger bodies greatly outweighs that.

A tall woman needs as much as a tiny man. Should UBI account for body mass? What should it do with underweight or overweight people then? :)
I don't think UBI should take anything into account, no, but an average man needs more money than an average woman. That some women needs more than some men doesn't really matter, women arguing that they as a group need more money than men is nonsense.
You'll have to drop all historical and societal context for that.

Get X peas per kilo of body weight, a piece of a cloth to wrap yourself and you're good to go...
