Subsidize feminine hygiene products so that all American women can have access to them.

Created by H.A. on March 28, 2014

Free condoms are readily available almost everywhere, even though sex is not a compulsory act. Most women, however, have to have a period, and pay roughly $60 a year for feminine hygiene products like tampons and maxi pads. This may not seem like much, but for women from lower-income families, that's money that could be better put toward other groceries, especially food and other toiletries.

I would ask that the government consider subsidizing the cost of feminine hygiene products so that women from lower-income families don't have to worry about something they can't help: their periods.
