We have some questions about this new 'femme pouch' tampon holder

This tampon holder released for International Women’s Day is all kinds of strange.

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY has been and gone and with it brands doing some odd things to mark the day has sadly ended.

However, ‘premium essentials’ company Cuyana have a late entry to the party with this ‘femme pouch’. For just $60, you can have an ‘innovative new essential’ with this sleek lady pouch that comes in 2 colours and can fit a whole two (yes TWO) tampons in it.

The pouch is supposed to help us ‘celebrate life’s most indispensable essentials’ which is odd since you might normally need more than two tampons at any one moment. Also why should we hide the fact we use tampons?

However, we have a number of questions regarding this key chain that costs the same as a decent meal out.

First of all, why does it even exist?

Tampons tend to come wrapped so they don’t require further protection from the elements of one’s handbag.

Secondly, why only two tampons?

Periods are unpredictable and I personally wouldn’t leave the house without 3-4 tampons or pads on me. You just don’t take the risk. Dream bigger Cuyana.

Are we supposed to ashamed of tampons now?

Because it’s 2018 and I’ve kind of lost track with what we’re supposed to be ashamed of.

Also how many notions do you have to have to buy this?

The website suggest you pair with a lipstick holder ($60) and a ‘classic leather tote’($175) bringing your grand total to a cool $295. LADS.

Since I’m not willing to spend that much money on a tampon holder, I figure a better idea is to come up with some alternate uses for it.

It’s the perfect size to carry around a purple Snack

The best use of anything to be honest.

You could fit 2 lollipops in there

Lollipops are indispensable to be honest.

Or a travel size tube of toothpaste

Can’t beat clean teeth on the go

It could always be used to store teabags

You never know when you’ll run out.

If you’re a big fan of spaghetti you could keep a tiny lunch of just pasta in it

No such thing as too much pasta.

Or you could follow Cuyana’s advice and ‘for those other moments in the month—your favorite pen.’

Yep. $60 for a glorified pen holder. I’m out.
