Reply to comment by [deleted] in CVS cuts cost of menstrual products in 12 states with "tampon tax" by AmethystOrator

You're also not taking into account those who have to change tampons every 30 mins, so a 12pk will last them maybe 6 hours, or who have to wear both tampon and pad at the same time to prevent leaks. Some of these are medically-influenced, but some people just piss blood - and not in the fun anecdotal way.

That would be me. Until I went on birth control and now I don't get a period. But holy hell, the amount of money each month was staggering. 8+ days, changing a super+ tampon every hour plus having a pad. It was like that the whole time.
