We Need To Menstruation Hygiene Products be Made Free

On February 26th, 2020, Scotland became the first country to make Menstruation Hygiene Products free and accessible to all women. They should be free everywhere regardless.

We Need To Menstruation Hygiene Products be Made Free

In a world of capitalism, we see so many companies rip off customers by price gouging and bootlegging products that should be accessible. Many of these products don't cost a fraction of the cost you spend on buying it as a consumer.

Feminine Menstruation Products have been in the hot spot of overpricing for decades and we as women need to push and start a fight and put an end to the overpricing of these products. Many women cannot even afford to buy good quality products because they sell a low quantity in the box for a high price.

These products are essential, and the lack of sanitization leads to a spread of bacteria that can harm others. The lack of accessibility of these products makes it all the worst. We need to see change and put a stop to capitalism and sexism in the process.

Scotland was named the first country to make them free but we should be seeing this law placed in countries with high poverty rates and the millions of Americans who can't afford the products is what makes the issue worse.

No excuses make feminine hygiene products free and accessible for everyone. Take off the price tag and make them accessible.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
