I nipped into pay for my petrol yesterday and was served by a young man, and reached into my bag for my purse and pulled out my luminous green Sanitary Towel instead. He was mortified and so was I. It's the same story for teens and their school bags - so why not grab them one of these pretty Sanitary Towel Pouches for £1.25 delivered?
If your daughter has just started having periods, they may feel very self conscious when carrying their Sanitary Products about. Worse still - when they need to leave in the middle of a class to change. No-one will know if they have one of these pouches in hand, rather than a brightly packaged Sanitary Towel.
I am going to get one of these, because I have lost count of the times I have spilt the contents of my handbag on the bus, or in the middle of town and some good citizen comes over to help.
Note - these are coming from China, so you may have to wait 2-4 weeks for it to arrive, but for £1.25 delivered, it's worth the wait.
No thanks. This perpetuates the idea that periods are somehow shameful.
You don't have to run round shouting 'I am menstruating! Behold the power of my magic vagina' but you need to hide it, and giving your kid this is telling them that its something to conceal.
