Menstrual Show

Unused thrift store wool sounds like the least sanitary thing in the world to store a tampon in, short of a used coffee filter. Not to mention the fact that this thing attaches to your keys and sits in the bottom of your purse all day, which greatly increases the possibility of getting a piece of Dentyne in your uterus.

    But the dentyne is how you fight that “not so fresh feeling”

    I thought the point of a tampon holder was to make it a discreet package, so you can carry it around without people seeing it and immediately thinking “tampon”

    This purpose is fully defeated by using a tampon holder that looks an awful lot like a used tampon.

    The idea of minty tampons is making me kegel RIGHT NOW.

    BTW, I had a good chuckle when I noticed this was “filed in Vaginas”…how appropriate! >;-D

    The tampon is wrapped in plastic, so not THAT unsanitary. Still ugly, though.

    My Starbucks card is on my keychain. Whenever I buy a coffee, I hand my keys to the cute Stabys guy so he can swipe the card.

    Imagine the poor bugger’s reaction at seeing that!

    I love how on the picture it’s $5, but on Etsy it’s $4 trying to clear some stock eh? Maybe red wasn’t the best color to use?

    They really do look as if they’ve been used to hold used tampons, don’t they? I mean, that would explain the blood stains underneath them on the display fabric…

    Do they come in different sizes? I mean, what if you don’t use this brand of tampon? (I refuse to call it a plug – I’ve never heard that expression used before today, and it’s vaguely disconcerting, frankly.)

    The entire point of designing a tampon holder is discretion. Sure, for convenience having the holder double as a keychain may come in handy but why make the item look like a giant overly used feminie product? Simply browsing through the internet will show that there are tampon holders that are stealthy in discretion, having come in forms of matchboxes, cosmetic cases or even battery holders.
