Ob tampons are in demand

If you’ve got a box or two (or a supply of 100–that’d be those of you who shop at Costco) of Ob tampons you may want to put them up on eBay. It seems there’s a shortage of them on shelves in the US (not sure if Canada’s affected, too?) and bids as high as $76 have been seen on eBay. Now that’s some brand loyalty!

(I’m pretty curious about the reason for this shortage–company reps are being vague).

(And if only I’d heard about this sooner–I could’ve brought a suitcase full of Ob to NYC today to hawk on the street)

Would you pay $76 for your favourite tampon? Do you even have a favourite tampon?
