States and cities across the country are finally coming to terms with the fact that feminine hygiene products are a necessity for women and are passing legislation to get rid of sales tax surrounding these items. The California Assembly Bill 1561, also known as the tampon tax repeal, is anticipating saving the female population of California around $20 million a year. So while it may not seem like major savings on your single purchase, think of the grand scheme and how state lawmakers are taking a step in the right direction.
