Eww! 2 women on their period go without sanitary towels to protest Tampon tax (photos)

Charlie Edge shared pics of her & friend standing outside the UK House of Parliament on Saturday, holding placards in protest of the "luxury" tax on tampons, on her Facebook page. According to The Independent, she timed the action to coincide with her period and went without sanitary towels and tampons, instead letting her menstrual blood seep into the fabric of her white trousers. Ewww!
Edge wrote:
Today i am forgoing tampons and pads outside the houses of parliament to show how 'luxury' tampons really are. We are also raising money to buy tampons for homeless shelters, womens shelters and the refugee crisis.
We're getting lots of dirty looks and someone just shouted at us to get a job.
But everyone keeps saying "haha omg how quickly would we get free tampons if everyone stopped wearing them?!"
So, I'm giving it a go.
Taxes are necessary, i get it.
So are tampons/ pads.
They're not luxury items, anymore than jaffa cakes, edible cake decorations, exotic meats or any other number of things currently not taxed as luxury items.
Maternity pads are taxed, but incontinence pads arent.
We've had enough. Maybe bleeding on their doorstep will get the tories to do something about this?
please share and spread this around.
I wanna get on buzzfeed.

    Just Imagine the level people of the liberal 21st century can go just to create attention and yes we keep giving it to them. At this rate, I think it is proper to say we are slowly regressing from civilization back to barbarism.

    This is not great at all...I think this generation is going crazy, people now protest naked to be heard, they go naked to create awareness, and now these ones think they are sending a message, they don't know it's a ridicule to womanhood...SYK, there are 101 ways to protest or create awareness without being raunchy or weird

    How can anyone in their right senses classify tampons and sanitary pads as luxury goods? These women's actions may be unsightly but it's justified as far as I'm concerned. #nototampontax

    How nasty is that but to put tax on pads/tampons and call it luxury is absurd. It is a necessity for all woman and it should be affordable for all regardless of your social economic status. Well done to these girls for standing up and being brave to go outside leaking like that.

    Tampons are NOT luxury items. They should be very cheap cause all ladies use it. It's just like calling tissue a luxury item. I support these women's protest even though their making their statement in a very weird and radical way.
