Should tampons be free to all?

Question

Should tampons be free to all?

Answer 1

No, just to women.

Answer 2

Why would I want them, I'm a male?

Answer 3

Tax free and much, much cheaper. They are needed after all.

Answer 4

yes, but do 'all' want them or need them?

Answer 5

I'm a guy and I totally agree. It's not some-ones choice to menstruate.

They should at least be TAX free or even subsidized.

Luxury items ????  I don't think so.

Answer 6

Why not....but what the h**l am I gonna do with mine?

Answer 7

no. if that were the case then we would have to provide razors free to men. you can stop your periods it you so wish, i did it for 7 years and it was bloomin bliss. i do however feel that they should be tax free as they are not a luxury but a necessity.

Answer 8

Well contraception is free, I think sanitary products should be free as well.  Its not like you can choose to have periods is it?

Answer 9

why would I need a tompon, I don't suffer from hemroids.

Answer 10

it's that age old TAX problem.

Tax-Men consider them a luxury not a necessity.

Well they bloody well would, wouldn't they?

they don't need them!

YES, THEY SHOULD BE FREE OF TAX,

for a start.

Answer 11

I wouldn't like to use what the Government would hand out free!  Did you ever have to go to the nurse at school because you'd come on unexpectedly and they gave you a little mattress about an inch thick with wierd tapes on it and safety pins - that's what you'd get for free!!

I am disgusted that the tax man still considers women's sanitary products as a luxury.

Personally I avoid the whole issue with a mooncup - not for the squeamish, but anyone who's had a baby or uses a cap ought to be able to use one without too much fuss.

Answer 12

Of course they should!!!! And would be, if men had periods!!!

Perhaps we should go on a tampon strike, and stop using them. Do you think anyone would notice if we bleed freely????

Thinking about it, food should also be free, as that's also a neccessity, and not a luxury

Answer 13

Its an age old arguement that you will never win. As a woman yes they should be free . But try persuading the government . You have more chance of holding back the tide with a teaspoon . LOL
