Too hard to go to CVS to buy a package of hygiene products. How did Sandra Fluke miss this movement?

To avoid charges of sexism, the tampons will be available in all men’s rooms, too.

Dunce fools. The dispensers will always be emptied by a few stockpiling their homes. This is the most dumb ars thing I have ever heard.
To: C19fan
Is someone going to be employed to hand out all this free stuff available to the public? Otherwise, what is to stop one person from cleaning out the entire supply on a regular basis?

We need them in the Mens Room too as we don’t want to offend crazy people.

Due to the risk of septic shock, especially in the mentally ill and/or deficient, and the subsequent lawsuits, they should consider pads instead of tampons.
Just tryin’ to be helpful.
