A new Missouri law went into effect last week eliminating the luxury tax on period products and diapers (Getty Images).<\/p>\n

Diapers and menstrual hygiene products such as tampons and pads will now be taxed at a lower rate in Missouri stores.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The new law, which went into effect last week, eliminates what\u2019s commonly known as the \u201cluxury\u201d state sales tax rate of 4.225% on these products and reduces it to 1.225%, the same rate at which necessities such as groceries are taxed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After <\/span>years of bipartisan support for eliminating this luxury tax <\/span><\/a>in Missouri, the new law finally got across the finish line in May as part of a larger bill that <\/span>repealed the state\u2019s capital gains tax.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Incontinence products for babies, children and adults are included in the exemption, as are products used during menstruation, including period \u201ccups\u201d and period underwear.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heading into the 2025 legislative session, <\/span>Missouri was one of about two dozen states with the inflated tax on diapers still in place<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>one of 19 states with a luxury tax on period products.<\/span><\/a> This year it joined Alabama in eliminating both.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cImagine the need for sanitary products being called a luxury,\u201d state Rep. Raychel Proudie, a Democrat from Ferguson, said during a House committee hearing this spring. \u201cAny of us who has experienced such a luxury once a month would argue strongly against that being the case.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Advocates for the elimination of this tax on diapers and period products often cite the exclusion of products such as Viagra, which treats erectile dysfunction, from the luxury tax.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trish Vincent,<\/span><\/a> director of the Missouri Department of Revenue, said in a statement that the change \u201cprovides meaningful relief for Missouri families.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, Missouri had the greatest number of state legislators working to eliminate the diaper tax, with 17 pieces of legislation proposed, according to the <\/span>National Diaper Bank Network\u2019s legislation tracker.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

In 2024, nearly half of U.S. families with children younger than 4 who were wearing diapers reported experiencing diaper insecurity, accord<\/span>ing to a study published in May <\/span>by the <\/span>National Diaper Bank Network and the marketing research group YouGov.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Of those experiencing diaper insecurity, 79% of mothers surveyed said they felt stressed or anxious about potentially being unable to afford diapers, which also contributed to feelings of loneliness and fears about the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

The St. Louis Area Diaper Bank called the new law a <\/span>\u201cmonumental win for families across Missouri.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

An estimated one in four parents experiencing diaper insecurity reported missing an average of five days of school or work a month because they didn\u2019t have enough diapers and therefore couldn\u2019t drop their child off at day care, where parents are typically required to provide their own diapers, <\/span>according to the network.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Lack of access to period products also contributes to missed school and work for countless American girls and women every year. <\/span>The Alliance for Period Supplies <\/span><\/a>estimates two in five people struggle to afford period supplies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

State Sen. Barbara Washington, a Kansas City Democrat and a proponent of eliminating the diaper and period product taxes, also filed legislation aimed at <\/span>requiring public schools to provide free period products<\/span><\/a> to students beginning in fourth grade. The bill never got a hearing.<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
