Tampon Supply Shortage Solved By Emptying Out Tampons In The Men’s Bathrooms
The Babylon Bee ^ | June 17, 2022 | Staff

U.S.—Americans are facing yet another basic necessity shortage under the Biden Administration. This time a tampon shortage has struck the nation and caused many women to wonder what they will do when they run out of their essential feminine product.

"Hey, I have an idea to address the shortage," said one state official. "Why don't we just empty all those tampons from the men's room that no one's using?"

The idea helped alleviate the crisis, but the state official was soon fired for discrimination against trans people.

In their desperation to find tampons, some women have resorted to entering the men's restroom and taking tampons designated for trans men.

"As a lady, I would normally never enter a dirty, disgusting men's restroom for any reason," explained Ann Elizabeth, "but I'm completely out of tampons while the men's restrooms are stocked with an abundance of tampons that haven't even been touched!"

According to sources, this simple trick of women getting their tampons from the dispensers in the men's room has swept the nation and completely brought the tampon shortage to an end.

At publishing time, the nation's shortage of air freshener was solved by men entering the women's restroom.

“I predict a red wave...”

Red in what sense?

Didn’t in times past people rolled their own cigarettes. Wonder if Amazon has tampon rollers.

Take a look at the quality of the members of the brain dead Biden Administration .... hiring the ship of fools would increase the quality of the administration ten fold.

Unfortunately, it’s like these guys have a crystal ball. They need to get a lot more outlandish to outpace our reality.

All they need to do is take them out of all the men’s bathrooms across the country and they will solve their tampon shortage.

The Soviet Union in 1984 completetd the first space walk by a woman, Svetlana Savitskaya. But back on the ground over 99 percent of Soviet women had no access to feminine hygiene products. The women made their own and could customize their product. It is still possible.

My great-Grandmother told me that when she was a girl they sold jars of sea-sponge tampons at the Five and Dime...they had strings attached.

I just looked and they still seem to be a thing...

Washable too, what a great feature... green and red... ewww
