Sending cookies to your Principal which resembles a used tampon is utterly disgusting.

I was mature enough to have stuff in my backpack at all times. I also started my period when I was 9. So this is kind of ridiculous that a school needs to provide these things .

What about pads ? Not everyone used tampons especially young girls. Also I work at a Walgreens, and I don’t see any tax on pads/tampons

Tampons should be available at the nurses for free just like condoms are available are at the clinic. They should be available in every bathroom.

I thought all schools have them in the nurses office anyway?

[jennyboldrini]

I never understand why they have to free?

You want a tampon or pad or whatever you call those things then buy them. I’m a special needs man and I don’t get anything for free. Not my problem about what you need.
