Good point!
Even in the U.S., poor women often can't afford tampons, pads
Linda Carroll
(Reuters Health) - A survey of low-income women in a large U.S. city finds that nearly two-thirds couldn’t afford menstrual hygiene products such as tampons or pads during the previous year.
More than one in five women said they had this problem every month, researchers report in Obstetrics & Gynecology.

And in the UK:
A new survey by Plan International UK has found that one in 10 (10 per cent) of girls have been unable to afford sanitary products.
The survey of 1,000 14 to 21 year old's also found that:
One in seven girls (15 per cent) have also struggled to afford sanitary wear
One in seven girls (14 per cent) have had to ask to borrow sanitary wear from a friend due to affordability issues
More than one in ten girls (12%) has had to improvise sanitary wear due to affordability issues
One in five (19%) of girls have changed to a less suitable sanitary product due to cost
