A Fab Find

In a woman’s handbag you will find lots of the necessities; a lipstick, a pair of earphones, her purse and her phone but one thing she’ll have either in a miniature make up bag or in a secret zip will be her monthly equipment. Monthly equipment you ask? Yes, we all know, it’s the dreaded period relief products. The tampons, the sanitary towels and whatever else you may use. The sanitary items will be products that you’ll keep so secret even MI5 would struggle to locate; us girls are so quiet and hidden about menstruation. Despite every girl going through the chat at school and at home with her Mum, there is still this stigma that sits around periods. Women are still very closed off about openly saying their headache or stomach cramp is period related. Even the word ‘period’ is deemed wrong, we find ourselves using other names, or phrases to describe it. My least favourite is, is when you’ll hear girls saying ‘they are on.’ You ask why I dislike this phrase? Well firstly, we are not lightbulbs or switches we are not on. Your body is telling you it’s working correctly, it is also telling you that you are not pregnant – which may or may not be good news for you. Although it would be great if your body could just give you a memo reading ‘not preggers babes’.

I can’t lie and be all liberated and full of it when it comes the subject; for one I don’t like anyone to know about the subject. I will disguise the issue trying to avoid any mention unless it is a necessity. Nobody shall know. The only sign, I am rather sensitive and emotional 2 things I tend not to be. So if I get upset over the tiniest things it’s usually hormonally related. Why do I bring periods up? Well, you’ll be pleased to know I have found the revolution for your monthly nightmare. 

I despise the monthly arrival of mother nature; I despise her arrival more than those guys who creep into the direct messages after ignoring you for 6 months. The pain, the mood swings and the general maintenance is a real nightmare. However, I have found a marvellous invention. The FAB LITTLE BAG. These little gems were gifted to me and ever since I opened them I have been intrigued by them. I loved how quirky they looked and how their aesthetic purpose was not a distraction from their purpose. Essentially these fab little bags, (excuses lots of puns) are for you to dispose your sanitary product into. For example, last month mother nature was on her rounds and I was able to discreetly place my product into this lovely looking bag because annoyingly the toilet, I was using was not stocked up with tissue. In this situation, you sit panicking you’re sat in a rather embarrassing toilet position with your knickers on your ankles wondering ‘is this where I’ll spend the rest of my life waiting the cleaner or toilet paper supplier?’ but with this fab little bag (and yes I did it again) no need to worry. This is because thanks to this, you place your item in this bag and leave the toilet without being found with no underwear on in a desperate position for the toilet paper. You can find that bin that is sat on the other side of the bathroom to dispose that little nasty into. Back of the net!

The aim of this creation was to encourage women to stop putting their waste of this sort down the toilet because this is not environmentally friendly. I love how although this has a practical purpose these little bags just look so good. I now have a new addition in my little make up bag which contains all the monthly SOS products and this fab little bag has just become a great feature.
