Next Product Shortage: Tampons

Too bad for these companies, because women have alternatives, and they might find something they like better that doesn’t cost a small fortune every month.

Inflation is currently a global problem and the US president can't sort out the global supply crunch, I don't understand what part of that is so difficult for people to understand. And the guy who actually can battle inflation by raising interest rates was appointed under Trump...

The time for conscious capitalysm has arrived! I shall found a womonpire with a curated offering of free range organic menstrual products that will out amazon Bezos. If my cup runneth over, so does yours!

Um, they could always use torn up pieces of cloth and wash them out each day.

I will work from home if female staff are going to stinking up the workplace.

stock up on fleets yall

[quote] Biden and Mayor Pete better get this supply chain issue worked out stat,

OP's article blames a fertilizer shortage because of the war in Ukraine and a drought in Texas plus increased demand because of commercial.

Could OP please explain how and what Biden and Secretary Pete could have done to fix this? Maybe you don't realize that the US is not a communistic nation where the government control all facets of the economy.

I sincerely hope this doesn't portend we're to be smelling more sanitary napkins, and maxi pads (especially the deodorant or scented kind) in our near future. All the best wishes ladies.

Have they tried Amazon? I just checked and they seem to have loads of Tampoons in stock and ready to ship. Not sure if the price has gone up, why would I know that?

Also, lots of Diva Cups and their knock-offs.

Also, not sure why Pete would have anything to do with Tampoons, other than the fact that some people love to blame him for everything. He is Transportation Secretary. Gina Raimondo is Secretary of Commerce. It's HER FAULT! /s

Or you know, It is a combination of aftereffects of the pandemic, the great resignation, rising costs of raw materials, price gouging, and the media enjoying the benefits of stories about shortages. Idiots read stories about shortages, go to the store, and hoard what they find there, putting further pressure on the supply chain. We've seen it over and over.

This is why we should support our trans sisters. All the gain without the unpleasantness.

I’ll just roll up a twin mattress and use that.

This seems a ploy by tampon manufacturers to cause a gush of buyers.

Maybe it's men who think they're women buying all the tampons to plug their assess when they have their 'periods'.

[quote]Do not go anywhere near Human Resources for at least a month.

I love how OP thinks anyone in HR is still able to ovulate. Gurl.

I know why, the trans bought them all, they love tampons!

Bounty paper towel

The Biden administration’s war on women, or birthing and menstruating people, continues. However, non-birthing people women will continue to get everything they demand and then some.

Oh Puh-leeze!

Just squat over a bucker, Barbara Bush style!

I can't tell you how many dinners she hosted that way...

^ bucket

My mama once dropped a fetus into that bucket during a family dinner.

She put it in a Mayonnaise and I drove her to the hospital.

^ Bushie was only about 14 when that happened...

but luckily, he'd been driving drunk for years!

In this case, Its pronounced "bouquet", dear....

[quote]Next Product Shortage: Tampons

This is all part of the Cis-Male Conspiracy against me...

They try to pretend they are overcome with sexual desire for me!

Nothing some Bounty and a green garbage bag can't get ya through!

[quote]Bushie was only about 14 when that happened...but luckily, he'd been driving drunk for years!

Yeah, maybe I drove drunk.

But at least I didn't kill my boyfriend after a fight when I was stone-cold sober, you heartless bitch!

Soon we'll be back to hearing "She's got the rag on." They are washable.

What is this "tampon" you speak of, and is it edible?

It should be said that Trump is responsible for the Baby Formula Shortage - as limited exports of Baby Formula from Canada & Mexico so American Consumers would buy American

How was Trump to know that Abbott controls 51% of Baby Formula in the USA, and when their plant got shut down, that caused the shortage.

Aunt Flo's back in town, y'all!

^ And she showed up for my wedding...

But I don't even care...I'm just going to put on my regular white wedding dress with the white choker and my comfortable brown shoes...

And I told Sam we can just dance and twirl all day and night!

He's going to be so happy with me!!!!

Gonna be a lot of stank pussies all over America, be prepared!

I'm glad I don't have a pussy.

[quote] I'm glad I don't have a pussy.

women are pissed off that men are not taking the tampon & baby formula shortage seriously

It’s always all about women and their hellspawn, R34

I guess the time for free bleeding is now!

Only women bleed. Something many need reminding of, I think.

One more reason to be thankful every day that I am an old gay man. This affects me in no way. So this will be my last comment, I'm out.

Women can't get a break: if you're pregnant, you're having that thing. If you're not, you will have to cram the Sports Section into your underpants.

I also wonder if this, like the Sriacha shortages to come, is companies in desperation because they based projections on the pandemic numbers, and now that everyone is broke from buying gas and paying rent, they are not buying as much as they used to.

R38, you also forgot they will have to tit feed the babies, because no bebe formula either.

I just passed a group of about 15-20 women running along side the road. I yelled at them out my window “tampon shortage! Stock up”! One woman yelled something back to me. God I wish I could have made out what she said! Lol

Spanish women on the rag no longer have to go to work those days.

I predict the return of menses huts for the Goop! set. Next to the pottery shed, behind the heirloom herb garden and open air yoga studio. Far away from the natural slate paved outdoor pizza oven and self filtering organic swimming hole.

I'm pretty sure people aren't buying fewer tampons to save money. They're like diapers and toilet paper, you need what you need.

A lot of people are saying that a famous TV news personality, who shall remain nameless (Cucker Tarlson), buys them in bulk...

and wears them after his weekend gangbangs to absorb all the cum leaking out of his bussy.

Time to build FEMA menstrual huts.

If women in Africa can make them out of banana leaves, I’m sure US women will be fine.

I hate it when this thread shows up in my sidebar right next to "It schmellsch like Mama!"

Nobody on DL cares. There isn’t a bitch on this site who still menstruates. I would assume that train left the station for most of you during the Clinton administration .

Proud of yourself, R40? I'll bet this isn't the first time you've heckled "others" from the safety of your car.

It's gonna be a stinky, smelly summer in the good ol' USA!

Tampoons?

Many think the inflation woes, gas prices and baby formula shortage were bad . We will never hear the end of this one….

Don't worry, we've got you covered

R13, I see what you did there!

A few weeks ago, I turned to the FOX network (for fun). Tucker was nearly having a coronary because some schools were installing tampon dispensers in the boys bathroom. He thought this meant that "boys were pretending to have periods". Actually it means that FtM trans are using the boys bathroom, and they have to deal with their periods.

Those tampons are constantly being wasted by the "cis-boys", R54. They are having to replenish the dispensers multiple times a day because they are being wasted, leading to a shortage.

I kid of course, that wouldn't cause a national shortage, but I imagine that they are being wasted. My sister and I got in trouble for wasting a bunch of my mom's tampons because it was fascinating to watch them grow when you dipped them in water.

"I need those for my PUSSY you little ASSHOLE!"

Save the planet and get a reusable period cup.

Pleasantly surprised to see CNN actually use the word “women”.

R48 go blow it out of your ass! I have fun and if I want to do something I do it!

If you take a wad of Bounty paper towel and wrap it around your fingers you can up it up your pussy and asshole.

This is (insert name here)'s fault:

A. Hillary Clinton

B. Joe Biden

C. Pete Buttigieg (or his kid, for distracting his father from his job)

D. Nancy Pelosi (or her alkie husband)

E. Chuck Schumer

This won't be much of an issue because many women don't use tampons due to cramping.

"Red Hot Smelly American Summer" coming soon to a theater or streaming service near you!

Shove some tissues up your twat and quit complaining. Always something with these broads.

Male to female trans ladies number in the millions now and they stock up on the tampons for their (completely imaginary) heavy flow days.

Plug it UP, OP!

Sorry, menstruators!

This will disproportionately impact TWOCs

No need for such archaic and ineffective measures, r4. There are plenty of multi-layered, leak-proof cloth pads and moon cups on Etsy.

[quote]This seems a ploy by tampon manufacturers to cause a gush of buyers.

Lol, I see what you did there.

bahahahahahahahahaha

We, the Womyn of MichFest are here to save the day!

Raise you menstrual cups in solidarity, Sisters, and be free of the shackles of the male patriarchy!

I’ll volunteer my services as I’ve had experience.

Can a Red Solo double as a menstrual cup?

Couldn’t you just put a cork in it and empty it every night?

quelle horreur! How will I be able to drink in the office without a vodka soaked tampon up my asshole?

They can stick an Imodium in their gash.

Aren't tampons a fairly modern invention? Just make your own out of rags.

After Roe v Wade is overturned and contraceptives are banned, women are going to be pregnant all the time so there won't be a need for rag moppers, blood stoppers or clot stoppers.

Kitty Litter is an excellent absorbent.

How do you know when an elephant has gotten its period in a hotel room?

The mattress is gone and there’s a dime on the dresser.

(I just heard this joke in a movie made in 1976, so I assume the dime is what a tampon cost in a restroom tampon dispenser back then).

If these bitches were raped and impregnated, they wouldn't need tampons.

Get ready for the red gusher!

Just keep a stinky bloody pussy like I do.

What do Gwyneth Paltrow and a tampon have in common?

They're both stuck up cunts.

All the trans guys are buying them up

[quote]Aren't tampons a fairly modern invention? Just make your own out of rags.

If it were this easy, with no chance of infection from those rags, don't you think we'd be doing this already?

"Rags" were what our foremothers used before the introduction of mass-produced sanitary napkins/pads/panty liners. Clean rags were washed and reused, folded into a thick flat shield to fit the crotch. Any suggestion of using rags internally in place of tampons is bullshit.

#87, I didn't say cram it up your vagina. But you could make a simple panty shield out of some absorbent material. I'm sure that's what women did the previous 10,000 years before CVS was opened.

The reasons for the baby formula shortage makes sense - the main factory that produces the majority of formula was closed due to contamination.

This does not. Wouldn't there be shortages of a LOT of other things if the reasons given were true - gauze, cotton balls, bandaids, a plethora of hospital supplies.

Does Absorbine Junior absorb the junior?

Put a sock in it.

R89, your choice of wording seemed to suggest that rags be used in place of tampons. If that wasn't what you meant, then you should have specified that they be used as PADS, which they aren't very effective as, either, without something leakproof as a barrier.
