The red flower of shame.
A hide-out for tampons with a "flower" (the red, of shame) as a lid. :o)
When I was studying women's studies years ago we red the ethnologist Denise Malmberg's book The red flower of shame?. The book is, as you've might guessed, about menstruation and women (in swedish tradition, "the decades before and after the turn of the century 1900"). That inspired me to make the lid as a red flower instead of a something like blood drops. :o)
As you can see the little hide-out can hold four tampons. Very handy!
Cool chicks of course buy menstrual cups instead, I bought mine here: menskoppen.se/ . :o)

I've had my cup for a while now and I really like it, and I get really angry when even MORE companies starts with tampons or tampons with ecologic cotton instead of making new varieties of menstrual cups instead. I would LOVE a glow-in-the-dark one! :)

Cool!! I use both cups and tampons and alternate days depending on flow, so maybe I could make a matching pair of holders for each.
Glow in the dark lol! I do think that they could be made a lot more fun.

I think EVERYTHING should be glowing in the dark! ;D (Gosh how environmental! It would save loads of energy!)

Well perhaps not everything! If everything glowed that may make things hard to find hahaha.
Like my son aged 12 said "If everything was invisible, what would we see?"
