First baby formula, then Siracha, now tampons? Ladies, you may have noticed a lack of menstrual items on the shelves in stores. Well, it's not just at your local Walmart or CVS, it's everywhere. According to CNN, women have started ordering tampons and pads off of Amazon because it is impossible to find any in the stores nowadays.
According to CNN, the issue is the lack of materials like plastic and cotton. Manufactures don't have the supplies they need to even make tampons! It all stems from the pandemic, the war in Ukraine and the drought in Texas. All of those things combined have slowed up the process of making a lot of things that are a necessity.
Of course these major companies say they are working hard to restock, but who knows how long that will actually take.
