More than half the population in the United States will need access to menstrual products in their lifetime. That adds up to thousands of dollars over a woman’s lifetime of buying pads and tampons, which can create financial hardship. On Saturday, folks are gathering at the Idaho statehouse in Boise to rally against the "period tax," Idaho's 6% sales tax that applies to menstrual products. Boise-based company Saalt makes reusable menstrual cups, and is helping to support Saturday's event.
