Worn where? Shopping? Bowling night? Parent-teacher conference? I foresee problems.

I was thinking under a hood. In a darkened room. Alone.

DIY pads?

Menstrual soaking pot?

Don't feel left out of the creative sphere from your choice of product.

Those soaking pots with spouts should come with a warning. "To avoid awkward incidents with unsupervised guests, please leave an actual teapot in plain view in the kitchen."

This could be innovative and whimsical but it's really not.

From a fear of arts and craft projects?

I don't think you can do anything arts and crafty with one of those. Except maybe decorate it and wear it as a tiny hat.

Absurd.

I'm always so bloody late to the party. Wait, that doesn't make sense. If I'm late, then I'm not...

Why is there a tampon crafts website? I mean who really would do this? I use these things but I don't want to make things with them. They cost too much money to waste and it's not like you might just have some left over laying around and you don't know what to do with them. You use them next time.

And now I have said way too much about tampons.

What are we, a bunch of 13 year old boys in here? Seriously, if you think menstruation and anything associated with it is just *so gross*, you don't have to be in this thread.

Gomi, thanks for sharing this site. It's fun to see people doing crafty things with utilitarian, every day objects. I thought the ghost was particularly cute. So fluffy!
