California legislature is considering bill to remove the sales tax on diapers.

Posted by Meg (aka Mojave) Aug 11 '16, 18:00

Figures it will cost the state about $4 million annually.

Do diaper services still exist?

I was just reading about taxes being removed on tampons. This seems like a similar movement - Beaker Aug 11, 18:02 13
- Yup, all feminine hygiene products. It's about time for that too. Not sure I agree with the diapers though. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 18:05 4
  - Right? Remove the tax on *condoms* -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 18:06 3
    - See below. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 18:07 2

        Good point. Soap and shampoo should also be tax free. - Spawn Aug 11, 18:21
- That was also mentioned but not in the current bill. Concept is that necessities should not be taxed. -- nm - Meg Aug 11, 18:04 6
  - I get that thinking and mostly agree but with diapers it's not a lifetime of buying them and there's another option like reusable cloth. - Krusty Aug 11, 18:08 5
    - Cloth diapers are expensive. - Spawn Aug 11, 18:22 4
      - One of my clients uses them but I've never asked how well they work. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 11, 18:30 3
        
        Everyone I ask says they're great, but honestly - ain't nobody got time for that shit -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 18:36 2
        
        Literally -- nm - iSpam Aug 11, 18:46
        
        No doubt. The ease of using diapers is what I'd go with too. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 18:42
- They should include birth control. - Spawn Aug 11, 18:03
