Mr. Hall: “Cher Horowitz–two tardies.”
Cher: “I object. Do you recall the dates of these alleged tardies?”
Mr. Hall: “One was last Monday.”
Cher: “Mr. Hall, I was surfing the crimson wave. I had to haul ass to the ladies.”

Well put, Cher! There’s something about using excuses of “it’s that time of the month” that men will never question or care to know details. Everything from the pain pills to the chocolate cravings is just TMI. And accidentally dropping a tampon from your purse in plain view of the opposite sex? You might as well have read the first few pages of your diary out loud. What’s up with the crazy stigma that we can’t openly talk about our monthly ovulation cycle? Photo source.

Well, I don’t know if it will ever get easier to discuss our lady issues to men, but we do have some awesome options in the product department that will make our time of the month much more comfortable and, well, stylish! U by Kotex has totally figured out the design factor. Dare I say the tampons and panty liners actually look super cute next next to my lipgloss and neon hair ties! Who would have thought…I remember in high school when a friend would do a backhanded tampon pass-back in the hallway to avoid anyone even getting a glimpse of the ugly white paper-covered cylinder. I can’t believe no one thought of this before!

Besides the packaging, the products themselves are actually pretty awesome. Without getting into too much detail, they’re super comfortable and honestly offer the best protection. The tampons even have a cushy pencil grip applicator that will never fail or fall apart on you. Genius!

I couldn’t have designed these products better. Music fest bound? Nothing will look better in your oversized fringe boho Coachella bag than an array of bohemian themed lady products. And the plastic wrapping is super protective from anything else that may be roaming around in your purse. Would I think about going back to my previous feminine product brand? As if!!
