Idaho, along with 21 other states, charges sales tax on period products. This tax is also called a PINK TAX because of the general tendency for products marketed to women to be more expensive than those marketed to men.
People who menstruate require around 40 period products per cycle. That’s a lot! And if you are on SNAP, you cannot purchase menstrual products (or diapers).
Period products are essential. Eliminating sales tax on these basic necessities helps ALL girls, women and menstruators better afford the period products they require.
Let’s change this!
