I knew that women spend a lot of money on tampons etc. But £1,368 on average per woman!! And you just can't do anything about it. As Cosmopolitan points out that is FOUR pairs of Louboutins, and I know that I would pick the shoes anytime if I had the choice as I think many women would. And that is exactly my point. Choice.
Women don't have a choice not to buy tampons. There is no sensible way to work around it. And anyone who thinks about suggesting wearing a towel that you can wash and wear again has never had a period and thus is not allowed an opinion.
Okay, so we don't have a choice really whether or not to bleed every month but I think we should have a choice not to spend that amount of our money. The fact is ALL women have (I was very tempted to write 'suffer from') periods, so it's not like it is a random group of people. I propose that tampons, pads etc should be free for women. Why is it not? The Pill is (which I am all for!) and you can get condoms for free as well and they are not necessary as you do not NEED to have sex.
It is very unlikely for someone to get tampons and use them for any other purpose. Maybe we should add that into the taxes so women wouldn't only have to suffer from bleeding every single month (men I know you think women only bleed for 10 minutes a day but the fact is it is nearly constant non-stop bleeding) but also have to give up on buying amazing shoes because of this or food for that matter. At least we could buy one pair not even four if government chipped in on this. Actually not chipping in is gender inequality. From my taxes I help to pay fat peoples hospital care and they are fat by choice.
Trust us it was not our choice to bleed.

Watch Fat Women Get So Fat They Die Because Of Their Fatness -Fetish
I watched this documentary about Fat Fetish (My Big Fat Fetish - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/my-big-fat-fetish/4od ) on 4oD. Okay, first of all I have nothing against chubby or even bit overweight women or men who find women with more mass attractive. No problemos. But what I did find highly disturbing was the fact that these "fans" of these women encouraged them to gain massive amounts of weight because they found it arousing. No matter how life threatening it would be to the women.
The annoying thing about their Fat Fetish site is that they seem to think they are offering an alternative solution to the skinny porn models that we are all used to. These women talk about their idea as if this is what someone who loves their body in a Large does. They promote themselves as women who enjoy their fat and weight and are totally comfortable in their own skin. In the programme it comes clear though that gaining weight can be as restricting and strenuous as dieting to lose weight.
While going on about how they love themselves and their size these women contradicted themselves by saying that the "fans" encourage them to gain weight. Many of the women kept video diaries about how they gained weight and the heavier they were the more fans they got and more money from the men using the website. These men literally feed these women and encourage them to become EXTREMELY obese.
Is someone now going to tell me that this is not the same thing that happens in the current modeling industry where the skinnier you are the more popular you are and more popular you are the more money you get?? I am not going to dig deeper in the skinny business because there is nothing new there but encouraging obesity in the times where our population is getting bigger and bigger already is a very bad idea. Of course we are all supposed to love our own bodies and as we have learned we are not supposed to be model skinny, but we definitely aren't supposed to be too large to leave the house either.
To be honest I think this Watch Fat Women Get So Fat They Die Because Of Their Fatness -website doesn't sound too brilliant to me.
