It was only a shortage of a particular brand of tampons.

If my woman paid that in the name of brand loyalty I would stuff them down her throat.


True it is only one brand for now. But, when a company as huge as Johnson & Johnson has a "temporary supply interruption" that causes a product to completely disappear from the shelve something ain't right.


They're testing reactions... seeing how far people will go & for what right now... Econo-Doom soon.

damned


you are right. What other explaination is there.


Actually the two largest factories are in Australia and Brazil. During the recent floods, they used them all up.

I have a good friend in government that told me a very large order of tampons and other goods had been ordered for storage. He said we will see this with varying types of products.

Hmmm, that's very interesting. Something like that would explain the sudden shortages of certain items that we're seeing.

I hope the tampons don't spoil when nothing happens.

Sorry, every once in awhile I turn into a sheep again and I think...come on, you mean to tell me that there is gonna be some world wide disaster that our government knows about and they are not telling us and are just stocking up on certain things?

I'd love to the see the invoice from the government though.

It was only a shortage of a particular brand of tampons.

If my woman paid that in the name of brand loyalty I would stuff them down her throat.


If someone is used to a particular brand of tampon, that brand loyalty is for a reason. After many years of having periods, any woman knows what works best for her body. If anyone uses that particular brand, they and their significant others best prepare to see several to many bloodied panties due to issues inherent with a lack of flare-ability of a majority of all tampons on the market. That specific brand that's not available at the moment (except in the black market) actually eliminates most issues with bleed-through caused by crappy manufacturing on the part of even top name tampon brands.

So if a woman freaks out and you think she's nuts, imagine how you'd feel if you had countless boxers, boxershorts, and/or briefs that wound up bloodied on account of a bad brand of tampons. How would you feel knowing that instead of just buying tampons, now you also have to purchase more undergarments? It's hell, at best. There's very good reason for any woman with a brand loyalty to not want to switch brands on something so very personal as to prevent embarrassing bleed-through. Even if they have the ability to purchase hundreds of substitute undergarments, the fear of embarrassment of bleed-through onto their pants or skirts or seats is enough to warrant freaking out.

The popular product is in such short supply that eBay users are bidding up to $76 for three packs, which usually sell for just $8.79 a pack.

And loyalists are taking to blogs and Twitter to figure out where their beloved o.b. tampons might be.

"This month, they were gone, gone, gone," said freelance writer Janessa Wilson, 40, of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, a user for decades.

"I searched everywhere I could, maybe a dozen drugstores, but I couldn't find any."

Johnson & Johnson, the company that makes the o.b. tampons, shed little light on the mystery, saying only that it experienced a "temporary supply interruption" that led to stores being out of stock.

Is this the beginning of major shortages in necessary personal care items such as toilet paper, soap etc? This is why I have a closet filled from floor to ceiling with nothing but toilet paper...

well they used to use rags, hence the term, they would wash them out after every use and let them dry on bushes not those bushes, shrubbery is a better choice of words,for the sun to bleach them out, plus they didn't have dryers, that' what my mom told me

The elite have begun filling their bunkers and hording goods.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1235857


It appears so, with Johnson & Johnson products in particular:

Thread: Latest Johnson & Johnson over-the-counter meds recall: I.E. TPTB is stocking up their bunkers

Latest Johnson & Johnson over-the-counter meds recall: I.E. TPTB is stocking up their bunkers

J&J products are recalled again as a precaution
Although the latest J&J recall does not directly impact consumers, it may cause many to question the reliability and quality of the company’s products. McNeil Consumer Healthcare, part of J&J, in consultation with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has voluntarily recalled certain lots of Tylenol 8 Hour, Tylenol Arthritis Pain, and Tylenol upper respiratory products, as well as certain lots of Benadryl, Sudafed, and Sinutab products, totaling 47 million units.

These products are being recalled because of questionable cleaning procedures and is precautionary. No adverse health effects have been reported or are expected. All the items were manufactured at the Fort Washington, PA plant before April 2010, when production at that facility was halted. A complete list of the recalled medications is available on the McNeil website.


J&J had more than a dozen recalls during 2010, including one for Rolaids Softchews on December 9; Tylenol Cold Liquid products on November 24, Children’s Benadryl Allergy Fastmelt Tablets on November 15, Junior Strength Motrin on November 15, Rolaids Extra Strength Softchews on November 15, Tylenol 8 Hour on October 18, and various Tylenol products plus Benadryl Allergy Ultratab Tablets and Motrin IB products on July 8.

And what happens where the world changes soon and there are

NO tampons to be had at any price or tons of tampons available that no woman can afford to buy due to inflation and devaluation of the dollar????????????

You young women out there that are still having cycles had better think ahead on this one right now because very soon you will be using rags or old tee shirts or what ever you can find to improvise with.

AND...........same thing apples to disposable baby diapers.

You have better be buy up tons of COTTON DIAPERS right now that can be washed and reused.......

both for baby and for mom.

We have become so used to "use it once and throw it away".........but that it going to come to an end in the
third world country of the USA.

So......either right now go get your life time supply of either pads or tampons but you had better have a back up plan once those are all gone.

tampax has a cardboard applicator for those wanting to be environmentally conscious, though those are pretty uncomfortable to use.
