Menstrual Product Makers Unite to Eliminate 'Tampon Tax' and Support Consumers
A coalition of eight menstrual product makers, including brands like August, Cora, and Lola, has formed "The Tampon Tax Back Coalition" to reimburse consumers for the sales tax on feminine hygiene products. Shoppers can submit their receipts to the coalition's website and be reimbursed for the tax paid. While 19 states have removed the sales tax on period products, advocates argue that more needs to be done to raise awareness and eliminate the tax in all states. The coalition aims to highlight the issue and promote menstrual products as essential medical necessities.
