Shoppers in Texas no longer have to pay a sales tax on menstrual products, making the state one of the few in the nation to eliminate the so-called “tampon tax.”
A new law that went into effect Friday eliminates the sales tax on feminine hygiene products including items like tampons, menstrual pads and menstrual cups.
In addition to menstrual products, the law, S.B. 379, also eliminates the sales tax on family care items including diapers, baby bottles, baby wipes, maternity clothing and breast milk pump products.
I’m sure there’s some Republican politician someplace in Texas saying that women have the ability to shut their periods down if they try, and they don’t need socialist tampons.
God I want a socialist tampon inside me so bad. Socialism is so hot.
