Rep. Kristen Cloutier (D-Lewiston) wants to put tampons in high school and middle school boys’ bathrooms with a new bill that would require free menstrual products in public school restrooms, even for male students who do not menstruate.
The bill, LD 155, drew support from nine Democratic co-sponsors and will be considered in the Committee on Education and Cultural Affairs.
The bill instructs Maine School Administrative Districts (MSAD) to provide menstrual products in all school restrooms in any schools with students from 6th to 12th grade, regardless of the gender designation of the bathroom.

In effect, by applying the rules to every bathroom and regardless of the practical need for menstrual products, the bill would supply 11-year-old boys with tampons at the expense of taxpayers.
The Maine Wire reached out to Rep. Cloutier, asking why she believes it is necessary for menstrual products to be placed in boys’ restrooms, but she did not respond.
Currently, there is no fiscal note attached to indicate how much the program will cost taxpayers, and no public hearings or work sessions have been scheduled.
This isn’t the first time Cloutier has led an effort by Maine Democrats to equip middle school and high school boys with tampons.
In the last session of the legislature, Cloutier proposed similar legislation. According to the fiscal note for that item, the tampon availability measure would cost taxpayers $273,000 each year.
The bill comes as Maine’s schools have faced national scrutiny, and the state’s Department of Education (DOE) already faces a loss of federal funding for violating President Donald Trump’s order intended to stop biological males from competing in women’s sports, and the state faces a half billion dollar budget deficit.
Could some Democrat explaine to me where a boy inserts a tampon? Illustrations would be helpful!
Now we know why there are so many shootings in Lewiston.
How many ways can Democrats waste money we don’t have?
This is a prime example.
Maine Democrats are insane. Hopefully they will continue proving to Maine voters just how insane they and their policies are.
Are you sheisting me? WTF??? Stop voting for sick forks.
Thank god, she finally puts something on the record. This will be the thing that gets her voted out. Please democrats do more. Can you imagen trying to defend this during the next election cycle? Too easy.
I hope our rep from Kittery gets behind this so we can get rid of that trash too.
Stupidity to make the state look even crazier. Codswallop!
The people of Lewiston have to be the stupidest people in the state to keep voting this idiot into office.
this is the democrats showing u they will do what they please and no one can stop them… forced social engineering…. lgbtq people are prob the way they are by processed foods, vacinations, etc. etc… its not heppening naturally, just like the forced acceptance we face with silly laws…
Lewiston….. that says it all.
Wow that’s just insanely at its finest.
Did something happen that made all mentally disturbed liberals move to the coast of Maine? Were they given free therapy or is there some secret society of sexual deviants gathering along the coast of Maine? Do these politicians have some desire to make Maine the laughing stock of the country?
Wait until the schools start having to pay for the plumbing bills to have the boys room toilets unclogged from the boys flushing tampons down the toilets 5 at a time.
Better yet make all Maine state legislators pass a CORI check and a psychological exam in order to serve. That would reduce the number of Dems in the statehouse and put an end to this crazy nonsense.

Stupid is as stupid does. The City of Lewiston and the Lew Crew, all Dems, have disenfranchised the city and its lawful citizens. Wake up people; being awake does not mean you have to be woke!
Which one of you shifty dems has the contract to install, maintain, and stock bathrooms in ‘the district’? What about the consulting firms doing the various studies and PR and lobbying work? There is ALWAYS some sort of a money grift behind these insane policies. Truly, you whack jobs in the blue counties are making us moonbats down here in Massachusetts look downright level headed! Keep on going, the big flip to red is coming faster and faster!
necessary
Yep maine is completely fucked with dumb ass mills and those kooaid drinkers with her
This is what we get when we don’t pay attention who we vote for in office these pieces of s*** have lost all their marbles. Democrats keep wrapping themselves in this nonsense. All must GO !
but boys get nosebleeds…jesus…do we have to educate you people on the many uses of tampons…..truly pathetic….
She looks stupid and uneducated, not surprised with suggestions.
What an absolute embarrassment to the state.
Need one, ask the nurse
Please put this idiot on FOX to explain herself! Let’s make this fat fool to look as ridiculous as Adolph Mills. Can anyone say Smarten up! C’mon man!
What terrible person she is.
It’s amazing she can show her face in public
Kids can’t read or wright, but boys will know they are all set should they get a period during school hours. Just how stupid are these demorats? (Don’t answer that)
This is totally ridiculous. I can’t believe that there are some people out there that are This stupid. For what reason should This even be considered. I would like to know who the other democrats are that support this.
Why is this an issue? 273.000 to do this? Really need to assess the costs. If they are not used…then no costs. I would happily support this if it would mean that we could move on to more of the life and death issues that so many face.
.
This is sick stuff. Every Mainer should be embarrassed to see how far the Maine Legislature has degenerated under Mills.
I swear these Dems love losing. They’ve been singing and waving canes, they’ve been yelling unintelligibly, and they’ve been jumping up and down. They are celebrating their losses and now they want to lose even more. Good job Dems I like your plan=losing 😂
Courier, seek mental help immediately!!!!!!
The law doesn’t say to put in boys bathrooms. I think all bathrooms would mean not only girls bathrooms but bathrooms anyone can use.
If this is what they want to spend tax payer money on they should not be in the positions they are in. GET A LIFE!
MAINE THE WAY NO ONES LIFE SHOULD BE!
Just stop the stupidity already, what an absolute embarrassment. What an absolute middle finger to taxpayers, just a willful waste of their money. Democrats just believe taxpayer money is Monopoly money to be spread around as fairy dust. Cloutier needs to resign immediately.
Just wow.
I just think that if you are aware enough to know you are another gender then you are aware enough to know to pack feminine products. I literally made it from puberty to menopause and NEVER ONCE purchased a tampon in a bathroom. Just Saying. 🤷🏻♀️
Another liberal fat pig with 💩for brains. The only thing which can explain her stupidity is the way she looks.
I can assure you that Cloutier is the overweight, pompous, self serving airhead this bill exemplifies. Her city of Lewistown is crumbling under a surge of violence, crime, and drug deaths and she’s more worried about free tampons for kids in school. Heck, thousands of dirty lew residents work at the PG plant in Auburn and take tampons home free anyway.
I just started 3 weeks ago this web income system that my friend recommended to me and I’ve gotten 2 checks for a total of $9,200… this is the best decision I made in a long time! This extra b5568 cash has changed my life in so many ways, thank you!
Here is I started_______ tinyurl.com/homestar2?/6358
WTF is going on in Maine? Men in women’s sports, tampons in school boys rooms? This is SO far out there. How did Maine become so indoctrinated that these are even talking points.
MAINERS…TAKE YOUR STATE BACK!!!!
Again with colossal stupidity. Is there one Democrat with a functioning brain cell? They are the most disgusting people on the planet
Just NO !!! we the state of maine shouldn’t be paying for ANYONE’S PERSONAL HYGEINE PREFERENCES, PERIOD !
Insanity is thinking you can vote you way out of ….insanity
If party affiliation appeared on all ballots , no critically thinking citizen would vote for democrats and the lunacy that they stand for.
She should be required to demonstrate, in public, just how a boy is to apply the tampon on or in himself.
BOYS DO NOT NEED TAMPONS, MAINE DEMS WANT BOYS TO COMPETE AGAINST GIRLS, WTF
Men in Women’s Sports
Tampons in Men’s bathrooms .
Higher taxes for all .
75,000 more illegal aliens
Vote Democrat in 2026
Rep. Kristen Cloutier (D-Lewiston) is living proof that you can’t fix stupid.
