Residents of Texas no longer have to pay a sales tax on menstrual products.

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.

    lol why do idiots always say this? no one NEEDS to use viagra - ever. Can’t get it up? deal with it. But half of the population NEEDS menstrual products, or there will be blood everywhere and that’s a biohazard.

      I get what you’re saying and agree, but damn that’s a “heavy flow” day.

      Women dealt with this issue for thousands of years without it being a like a scene from Carrie.
