Free Tampons and Pads

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

Make lady entrails Free, we do not get a choice to have Periods it is natural and it's nature. So why do we need to pay for something that isn't our fault!! What about the homeless too I'm pretty sure they can't afford it. If Condoms/Contiception be free then why can't Womens pads and tampons.
You get a choice to have children, how ever you do not get a choice to pick and choose to have Periods. This is a natural thing that women can not help or controls so why do we have to pay for something that isn't our fault. Women's toilet items should not have to be paid for. I am 21 years old yes I am young and yes pads and tampons might not seem a lot in some but this is just human rights. There are so many people that can't afford them the prices seem to be just going up!!
