'The Tampon Tree'
Fairfax-based nonprofit helps fulfill basic need for women, girls in need with 'tampon tree' (Jay Korff/ABC7)


So a shop in fashionable Fairfax City has a Christmas tree adorned with women's needs for those women that need to choose between eating and...well....

WAIT, I'll start a bathroom tissue tree....for those who need to choose between food and clean underwear!!!!!

That's actually a good idea. Period stuff is expensive when you're on a seriously limited budget.

Especially when there are extenuating circumstances.

Why not revert to the old ways, before pads and tampons? That'll save money. Just like cloth diapers. Buy them once, wash after use, reuse.

Because it's unsanitary and disgusting. And if they can't afford their tampons, they almost certainly aren't hitting the laundromat regularly.

One thing, though: many of these women are homeless because of mental illness and substance abuse. Are they really going to remember to take care of their feminine hygiene needs?

Nothing like a good ole tampn tree at Christmas. I think Bing CROSBY and Nat King Cole sang about them.

Never. Was just asking. Though it appears the cloth diaper business is still in full swing. As well a reusable cloth mensuration cloth. Look it up. It seems the environmentally conscious thing to do nowadays.
