I think its gonna come in hot. Esp with the entire tampon shortage, high af gas. Materials are scarce and prices are rising. Was researching into the tampon shortage and its mainly bc cotton is so expensive. Cotton is also used in a lot of non food products that Americans buy. Here is my thesis

Raw materials rising

Cotton is used in most products other than food that people buy (clothes, bedding, bandages, diapers)
