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.
A far too large group of people think tampons can be safely used for gunshot wounds, and this is Texas we’re talking about so…
Weren’t modern pads invented by military nurses using bandages? I see how that factoid could give people the wrong idea
