After the reduction of the tax stamp , and the end of the eternal blue color to illustrate the rules in advertisements for towels , here is the time ... reimbursement of hygienic protection! The initiative, unpublished, is proposed by the Mutuelle des Étudiants (LMDE) which announced to integrate this provision in its packages this Friday, April 20.

No doubt that the gesture is welcome, especially for students whose budget is sometimes very tight.

An offer for all ... and all

So, "whether you are part of the team cup , tampons, towels ... or a little all at once, you can now benefit from 20 to 25 € reimbursed per year," says the organization on its site. To do this, young women will have to send their receipt or an invoice to prove the proof of their purchases. On the other hand, it is unclear whether supporters of washable sanitary napkins will also benefit.

Another remarkable (and remarkable) initiative is that men can also benefit their girlfriends, friends or sisters if they are members of the mutual. One way to make these gentlemen more concerned with the issue, and open the discussion on the subject as explained by an ambassador of the LMDE Paulette site.

On a life, a woman spends between 1500 and 2000 € in protections

In total, women use about 22 protections per cycle, or 264 per year, which represents nearly 12,000 hygienic protections in their lifetime *. Those who prefer to turn to a great brand Nett or Tampa, spend about € 6 per month (or € 72 per year), while those who opt for brands of retailers (Auchan, Carrefour) are rather around € 4 per month (ie 48 euros per year). In total, each one spends between 1500 and 2000 euros for his rules during his life.

But beyond the relative pecuniary economy, it is especially a step closer to the end of the rules taboo that is crossed. In writing, we applaud it.
