Biden Supply Chain Crisis Leads to Tampon Shortages, Because A Baby Formula Shortage Wasn’t Bad Enough
Legal Insurrection ^ | 12 June 2022 | Leslie Eastman

The supply chain crisis continues, and now women are finding it difficult to purchase tampons.

On Twitter, #tamponshortage is trending, with some users calling it the latest “nightmare” for women after the Food and Drug Administration acknowledged widespread shortages of baby formula. Individuals and not-for-profit groups that collect donated feminine care products are also complaining of empty shelves where the monthly essentials are usually stocked.

“I thought I was going crazy noticing empty shelves where tampons should be,” one Twitter user said.

Members of an online forum for Washington, D.C.-area parents also reported problems sourcing tampons. One member said she had visited three different CVS locations only to find them “99% bare of all tampons.”

The tampon manufacturers are not clear on the reasons for the shortage, though one cited increased demand.

With high demand and supply chain issues leading to a national shortage, tampons, like baby formula, have become another essential product that’s hard to find in U.S. stores.

Quit putting tampons in the mens room and there’d be plenty.

Thanks for the laugh. I was going to write something similar, but you beat me to it.

Biden soccer mom’s thought no more mean tweets were more important more than tampons or baby formula. Oh well, elections have consequences.

Might want to check with Oregon. Kate Brown signed in to law a bill requiring tampon dispensers in all boy’s restrooms in schools. They probably depleted the supply.

“The tampon manufacturers are not clear on the reasons for the shortage, though one cited increased demand.”

Does that make any sense at all? Has there been a huge increase in the number of women of childbearing age? Or are women menstruating more frequently now?

In a Cult they take away the food and amenities like tampons in order to make you dependent on gifts.

How’s the cool aid?

Methinks the tampon shortage is intentional. This will directly lead to gender changing hormone therapies immediately following little girls’ first periods. After all, it’s embarrassing for girls to bleed their pants in school. Something needs to be done!

Rumor has it that they manufactured them for months with the string on the wrong end.
