In Washington State, along with many other states, tampons and other menstrual hygiene products are taxed as luxury items rather than necessities. This is despite the fact that many other items, including condoms, are not taxed as they are considered "necessities". Sign this petition to encourage Washington State legislators to cease taxing menstrual hygiene products!
