Suzy Shinn, a Grammy-nominated sound engineer, wrote, “I am not emotionally strong enough to handle a tampon shortage.” — Dr. Natasha Bhuyan, a family physician with One Medical based in Phoenix, Ariz., on the tampon and baby-formula shortages A spokesperson for Walmart WMT, +3.28% said the retailer has not seen a shortage of tampons, but spokespeople for Walgreens WBA, +1.98% and CVS CVS, +2.73% said they are experiencing shortages among some popular brands.
