One of the most discussed products during the coronavirus pandemic is toilet paper, which has become a panic buy item and a subsequent subject of ridicule, so much so that bars are selling them alongside cocktails and some Americans are pivoting to bidets.
But there is another sanitary product that could see the same empty-shelf fate as toilet paper: pads and tampons. As the reality of how long we will need to self-isolate hits us, those who menstruate may feel it necessary to stockpile these products. In fact, it has already started to happen:
Ordered Amazon Delivery and selected “replace item” with the closest thing they can find if they run out of stock..
We ordered tampons
And they sent the closest appropriate thing
Which right now, is a bag of 50 frozen sausage rolls.
