It would make the products available in publicly-coordinated toilets in a bid to help people who are caught short and those who struggle to afford them.
In a vote to grant leave to introduce there were 21 votes in favour and just two members against.
Afterwards, Ms Faragher told Manx Radio there are 'two aims' of the bill:
Immigration fraudster who faked job offers jailed
Capital spending outcomes fluctuate across eight-year period, Treasury figures show
Peel Commissioners to set off fireworks off from Peel Hill
Complaints to Manx Care rise sharply, as oversight report urges cultural reform
Reducing hospitality VAT would 'directly affect' provision of frontline services
