Just imagine the bumper stickers.

Everyone, men included, are going to ask for them for free, driving the price way up, the subsidized cost is going to get too high for the government, and then people are going to be buying and selling them on the secondary market.

Neat. They make wonderful fire starters. The gel kinds have other usages.

“Everyone, men included, are going to ask for them for free, ”
As a man, I have purchased many of tampons.
High school girlfriends, college girlfriends, other girlfriends, wife, daughter, etc, etc. Buying tampons has been a constant in my life.

give up your iphone subscription and all thenshoes and makeup and clothing and jewelry, then plead poverty/too expensive
its called prioritizing
or get a box of shop towels, and use and wash them. cloth diapers work, the liquid volumes in question easily handled

I am a straight heterosexual male and I want them also. The pads are excellent for cleaning my rifles and handguns. They really are.

Sanitary products like soap, cleaners, and toilet paper?
To: ConservativeStatement
Toilet paper should be free. I can’t think of anyone (other than the usual suspects) who does not use this vital commodity.
What about the people who can’t afford T-paper? Those who cannot afford Cottonelle and are stuck with tissue thin generic?
Potty paper parity NOW!
