Original Note:
There is no “luxury tax” on tampons in the US. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/luxury_tax.asp The sales tax on tampons in the 21 non-exempt states is the same general sales tax people there pay for paper towels, laundry detergent, antiperspirant, toothpaste and many other items which are neither food nor drugs. https://allianceforperiodsupplies.org/tampon-tax/ https://www.forbes.com/sites/kimelsesser/2023/05/18/states-and-retailers-take-a-stand-against-the-tampon-tax/?sh=684801744610
