These Women want tax removed from Tampons
These Women want tax removed from Tampons, and to prove their point that tampons ain't luxury, they decided to protest during their period and vowed to stain the door of UK's parliament with blood. Charlie Edge shared pics of her & friend standing outside the UK House of Parliament on Saturday, holding placards in protest of the "luxury" tax on tampons, on her Facebook page.

Today i am forgoing tampons and pads outside the houses of parliament to show how 'luxury' tampons really are. We are also raising money to buy tampons for homeless shelters, womens shelters and the refugee crisis.
We're getting lots of dirty looks and someone just shouted at us to get a job.

But everyone keeps saying "haha omg how quickly would we get free tampons if everyone stopped wearing them?!"

They're not luxury items, anymore than jaffa cakes, edible cake decorations, exotic meats or any other number of things currently not taxed as luxury items.
Maternity pads are taxed, but incontinence pads arent.
We've had enough. Maybe bleeding on their doorstep will get the tories to do something about this?
