The Short Answer
Why does anyone have double-standards or make statements that aren´t 100% based in fact and logic? We are all people, women that do say that probably just think that tampons are more important to their daily lives then other things. Maybe they also think they are too expensive compared to other toiletries or they just don´t see the connection between those items. Edit: Since it seems unclear, I am talking about why women would be against luxury tax on tampons and not against luxury tax on other toiletries and hygiene necessities. I´m not talking about whether a luxury tax on tampons is justified or whether the above is even true i.e. tampons really are taxed the same as toilet paper.
