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 on Thursday responded with humor to a report linking her to a nationwide shortage of tampons.On Wednesday, the New York Post published a report titled, 'Why Amy Schumer is getting blamed for the national tampon shortage,' noting that a spokesperson for Procter & Gamble told Time that sales for the product spiked 7.7 percent after Schumer began appearing in Tampax commercials in July of 2020.The comic, 41, took a screenshot of the article with the caption, 'Whoa I don’t even have a uterus,' in reference to her revelation last fall that she'd had her uterus and appendix removed to combat endometriosis. The latest:Amy Schumer, 41, on Thursday responded with humor to a report linking her to a nationwide shortage of tampons.

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.
