Amy Schumer wants to make one thing clear to everyone: she is definitely not to blame for the current tampon shortage!
Wait, what? Amy Schumer is being blamed for a nationwide tampon shortage — and even she’s confused.
Amy Schumer is responding after being blamed for the tampon shortage across the U.S.
Time of the company's sales since the start of the ad campaign in July 2020. McCaster claims demand has been up 7.7% over the past two years, and the company is running its Auburn, Maine Tampax factory 24/7 to meet demand.
Time magazine.The ads, starring Schumer as a friendly, helpful tampon supplier known to pop up in women’s bathrooms when someone is in need of feminine products, started airing in July 2020. Reps for the “Life With Beth” star didn’t respond to TheWrap’s request for comment, nor did P&G.In P&G’s April earnings call CFO Andre Schulten said the company was having trouble sourcing raw materials for feminine care products, as well as having distribution issues.According to CNBC, Schulten also laid out reasons why prices are up for other P&G products, including Tide detergent.
Time magazine, saying demand is up 7.7% since the Oscars 2022 host starred in the series of commercials for the corporation almost two years ago.Tampax tampons are currently hard to come by at grocery stores in many parts of the country, “with Amazon sellers taking advantage of the shortage.” In January, the outlet reports, one box of 18 Tampax “listed for $114, about $6 more more — per tampon — than women usually pay.” In addition to raging shortage complaints in Reddit threads, a charity that supports homeless women has also seen a “big drop off” in donations of the feminine feminine hygiene product.The company is apparently running Tampax factory workers ragged in Maine — with McMaster claiming the manufacturer is operating 24 hours a day in an attempt to plug the dam of demand.Is Schumer’s effective hype job to blame? The Post has reached out to both Schumer and P&G for comment. Meanwhile, P&G “posted its biggest sales gain in decades in the most recent quarter, and the amount of money it made from sales in its feminine care division was up 10%.”But the magazine appears skeptical of P&G’s claim that “Life or Beth” star Schumer is responsible for the shortage — questioning whether contemporary commercials alone actually have the power to move products out the door.Plus, other brands of tampons, including Playtex, are also in short supply, and they don’t have the star of “Trainwreck” to blame.
Amy Schumer has been called a lot of things over the years, but the cause of a tampon shortage is a new one.While a baby formula shortage has garnered an avalanche of media coverage, another shortage has largely gone under the radar: the diminishing supply of tampons on store shelves. Time magazine called the tampon shortage the "supply chain problem that no one's talking about." Procter & Gamble, who makes Tampax, America's most popular tampon, acknowledged the shortage but pinned the blame squarely on the "Trainwreck" star.
