The Female Company
The Tampon Book

Happy to say I’ve contributed to a project that actually changed a law! Even though I’ve never experienced the problem personally, Germans have tampons taxed as a luxury product. The Female Company sold books (which aren’t classified as a luxury product), and hid tampons in it - just so they could tax it as an essential good. The song protests and supports this message with marching drums, fast 808’s and a shouty vocal to finish it.

And the best thing is that very soon after the law was changed, meaning tampon’s are no longer taxed as luxury products.
