AP16174790147899 (1) Tampons have reportedly been scarce lately amid shortages, including baby formula, that have affected consumers.
In a recent statement, manufacturer Procter & Gamble, the company that makes Tampax tampons and Always pads, said some consumers at the moment might be unable “to find what they need” but described the problem as “temporary,” NBC News reported Friday.
“The Tampax team is producing tampons 24/7 to meet the increased demand for our products,” the company explained, adding, “We are working with our retail partners to maximize availability, which has significantly increased over the last several months.”
Meanwhile, social media users voiced their frustration over the apparent issue.
“Baby formula and now a tampon shortage. Biden’s War on Women is on. Stock up ladies. #tamponshortage,” one person wrote .
“I’m sure Biden will blame Putin for this as well. Baby formula shortage now Tampons, what’s next,” another commented .

The cost of tampons increased about ten percent over the past year, the NBC article continued, the cause reportedly being the growing price of materials such as cotton.
Meanwhile, energy costs skyrocketed Friday, according to Breitbart News: The price of electricity has increased 12 percent and gasoline has increased over 48 percent in the last 12 months, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. … Energy prices have increased as Biden has waged a war on American energy.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
