Charlie Edge and her friend protest against the "Luxury "tax on tampons she posted some pictures on her Facebook page showing her and her friend standing outside the UK house of parliament on Saturday, holding placards with some strong written on them.
As disgusting as it may look, she actually timed the protest to coincide with her period and went to protest without sanitary towels and tampons, instead letting her menstrual blood seep into the fabric of her white trousers.

Today I am forgoing tampons and pads outside the houses of parliament to show how "Luxury" tampons really are, we are also raising money to buy tampons for homeless shelters, women's shelters and the refugee crisis.
We're getting lots of dirty looks and someone just shouted at us to get a job.
But everyone keeps saying "haha Omg how quickly would we get free tampons if everyone stopped wearing them?" so, i'm giving it a go.
Taxes are necessary, I get it, so are tampons/pads.
They're not luxury items, anyone than jaffa cakes, edible cake decoration, exotic meats or any other number of things currently not taxed as luxury items.
Maternity pads are taxed, but incontinence pad aren't.
We've have enough, maybe bleeding on their doorstep will get the tories to do something about this?
Please share and spread this around.
I wanna get on buzzfeed
Byeeeeee xxx.

Hmmmm she tried, cos I don't think so many people can do this.
