The prices of sanitary pads and tampons have risen faster in recent years than the price of food and, with few low-price alternatives available, many women can’t cover the cost, Natasha Khan of The Wall Street Journal reports. According to data from consumer-research firm NIQ, annual U.S. sales of pads and tampons have decreased by 12% and 16% since 2020. Publicly traded companies in the space include Procter & Gamble (PG), Kimberly-Clark (KMB), and Edgewell Personal Care (EPC).
