This phenomenon is often referred to as “period poverty.” Period Poverty impacts women in a wide variety of ways – those who are experiencing economic insecurity are often left to make the difficult decision of paying for food for their families or menstrual products. To further complicate this issue, Missouri is one many states with what is referred to as a “tampon tax,” meaning menstrual products are taxed as “luxury items” rather than as necessities which are not as heavily taxed. Because these products are not recognized as necessities, government-assistance programs do not cover the costs for them. The cost of menstruation often leaves many women with no choice but to use alternatives such as paper towels and rags in place of commercial products, and even miss days of work at a time when those alternatives are inadequate. - [Resources: Period Poverty in the St. Louis Region](https://wfstl.org/2019-3-6-resources-period-poverty-in-the-st-louis-region/) - A recent study found that nearly two-thirds of low-income women in the St. Louis region can’t always afford pads or tampons – often resorting to rags, diapers or paper towels.
