we can cover some tampons

That's a great way to put it.

Military budget: $961.6 billion for FY2026 (wikipedia) Period products: $11.5 billion yearly (https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/22/4/619)

"Some" really puts it in perspective.

$20-30 per month x 12 months x the number of post-puberty pre-menopause people is a lot

I mean, it makes sense. We don't want $900 billion in tampons. They are talking about buying tampons for the US, not for the whole world and then some. "Some" makes sense.
