m I added one fact to the introductory portion of the article. I brought in a fact from the American Medical Association that is based around the amount of menstrual products bought and the cost throughout a woman's lifetime. I added this into the part of the article I felt made the most sense. I am not sure if I did this correctly or if it flows as it should. I would appreciate feedback in any capacity. |
m I added a fact pertaining to the population of India and the issues in acquiring menstrual products and the cause of the problem. I added this because I saw areas included such as China, African countries like Kenya and other places. I felt as if I could add another country and give more information on it. I would appreciate feedback on this fact. |

===China===
In China, menstrual products are subject to a 13% sales tax, the same as for most consumer items.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://supchina.com/2020/08/28/online-campaign-for-cheaper-menstrual-products-emerges-in-china/|title= Online campaign for cheaper menstrual products emerges in China|work=SupChina|date=August 27, 2020}}</ref>
=== Indian Population and Menstruation ===
With a population of 355 million, India has approximately 88% of women who are unable to acquire safe menstrual products because of a lack of capital access. The menstrual products aren’t thought to be essential, therefore overpriced, and out of reach for over 70% of Indian women who menstruate.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Garg |first=Suneela |date=April 2015 |title=Menstruation related myths in India: strategies for combating it |url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4408698/ |journal=National Library of Medicine}}</ref>
