Vinnie Angel, an artist and designer, saw the plight of many of his female friends - just in their moment of menstrual need they'd reach into their bags and realise that their tampons had broken free of their packaging and were mingling with the sweet wrappers, make up and various other paraphernalia let loose in the depth of womens' bags. Fed up of these complaints and being a generally nice guy, he designed a pouch to keep them in. Decorated in bold, brash colours with his cartoon face on, he also hoped to encourage conversation from men especially about periods, in order to de-mystify and educate them about periods.
The tampon cases even come with a useful chart for women, or even boyfriends, to work out when their next period is.
As well as tampon cases (which are also the right size and very handy for pads too) Vinnie has expanded his kingdom to include other merchandise; a Period Chart and Journal which includes advice for dealing with menstrual cramps, reminders for boyfriends and family to offer massages and chocolate when that time of the month is due, stickers, menstrual cramp bubble bath, caps and other items.
Check out his website, I especially love the 'Music for Menstruaters!'
