According to The NDBN Diaper Check 2023, 1 in 2 U.S. families with young children cannot afford enough diapers to keep their infant or child clean, dry, and healthy. The consequences of diaper need are numerous and far-reaching; a lack of these material basic necessities has negative consequences for the physical, mental, and economic wellbeing of children, families, and individuals across the United States. However, in 26 states across the country, diapers are still taxed as luxury goods instead of being recognized as material basic necessities. Please join the National Diaper Bank Network in our work to make these products more accessible and affordable for children, and families across the U.S. by urging your elected officials to support legislation that would end the sales tax on diapers in your state. Our Diaper Tax Webpage also provides up to date information on which states still tax diapers. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/its-time-to-end-the-diaper-tax
