An Indian guy came up with a low cost option that now employs lots of Indian women in coops. We don’t need a federal bureau of tampons.
The Indian sanitary pad revolutionary

ISIS is waaaay ahead on this issue - they simply kill women - end of tampon crisis.
You are so short sighted - those should be free (to the right people) too.
Tampons are convenient for all concerned. But, women have dealt with this for millenia. There’s a reason for the phrase, “being on the rag.”
Sure, they’re great a great convenience, a big improvement over the sanitary napkin and its predecessors. But, don’t tax me to give them away, and frankly, if I was so poor I couldn’t afford a tampon, I’d probably prefer aid in the form of direct food, or indirect agricultural assistance. First things first... but then, I’m not a woman.
What a fascinating story, that guy is quite an innovator. Notice that even in dirt-poor regions of India, the priority is to provide an affordable product that works, not a government handout.
My feet smell and I have post-nasal drip. I demand Dr. School’s and Kleenex!
I can think of another hole this woman needs to plug.
In the United States, toilet paper IS free. In every workplace, public place of business, restaurant, gas station, etc. You pay for it at home and nowhere else. It’s a cost of doing business in a CIVILIZED country.
If charges were levied for toilet paper in public restrooms, men would lose their minds.
Why shouldn’t tampons be free? There’s no good argument (except men don’t need them).
Free tampons for sure for most Republicans jn the House and Senate.

And women wouldn't? Men would carry a roll.

Why shouldn’t tampons be free?
Because it is a cost of being a female. Pay for them yourself.
Ya that occurred to me too. Females have managed their periods up to now without free tampons. How did they do it?
I confess I don’t know how much tampons and pads and panty liners cost. I hope it doesn’t break the bank every month.
That’s right. They can’t afford tampons but they can afford all the bling.
Let me just say this, in my own lifetime the advancements made in those products has been amazing.
It’s like what’s happened with infant diapers. It’s just astonishing how thin they are. And, there is almost never a leak.
When I was babysitting, say 40 years ago, I was still pinning the cloth diapers on, and that was really no picnic with a squirming baby.
One time on TV, I saw a Hooch wear tampons(or is it tamp-ins) as earrings! Quit a Hoot.
Hard to imagine that still in the year 2014 attitudes about menstrual cycles in women are still so backwards and retrograde in places around the world...
they have effing expensive iphones with expensive plans, cable, co mputers and tablets,
and they can’t buy effing tampons?
this has to be a damn joke.
otherwise this is proof the human race needs serious culling of deadwood.
or do the old-fashioned thing and marry a husband and force him to pay for them.
