SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — As inflation causes prices to rise and supply chain shortages make products harder to find, another item can be added to the list: Tampons.
Not only are the products harder to find on shelves, but Bloomberg found that the cost of pads is up 8.3% and the cost of tampons is up 9.8%. Procter & Gamble, the maker of Tampax and Always, is expecting prices on period products to rise even more in July due to supply chain issues.
While the current oil crisis may appear separate from the growing tampon shortage, University of South Dakota business professor Tom Martin said they may not be as isolated as they appear.
“They’re not unrelated because our world, our cultures, run off of petroleum,” Martin said. “Whether it’s the fuel that’s moving products or so many things contain plastic and where does plastic come from? Petroleum.”
Martin added that the supply chain crisis can’t be narrowed down to just one issue.
“People didn’t realize how complex a supply chain was, until it didn’t work,” Martin said.
