To wonder why sanitary protection is packaged in bloody pinks and lilacs and stars and bloody swirls?

[CourseyoucanMalcolm]

It's a magnet for my 4yo daughter. It's not that I am uncomfortable discussing periods with her. I am just starting to wish that just occasionally I could open my handbag without a little arm darting in and triumphantly pulling out an exciting looking pink and purple packet, accompanied by a demanding " what's this mummy?" regardless of where we are.

Does anyone know of a sanitary protection company who favourite browns and drab olives? Perhaps with a sea cucumber as it's logo?

'always' do green

Mooncup.

erm...put them in the inside pocket, the one with the zip!

but how else can you have a 'happy period' if it isn't pink and fluffy??

It's very annoying and I also have a girl who is enchanted by the bright colours ...

i'd prefer something a bit more muted, too - especially when you're in the checkout queue surrounded by men.

How can you have a 'happy period' anyway? The twazzock who thought of this slogan needs to be shot!

The ad I am 'loving' at the moment is the one where the sanitary towels come together to form water lilies .... someone has been on the dope far too long..

i used to like the black and white spotty ones
laundry fresh smell
were ossom
i now no longer use any

I am currently bundled up in hotwater bottles and cashmere, having a very UNhappy period. Suitable packaging colours for how I feel would be rust, verdigris, khaki or slate grey.

Boots and Waitrose do 'natural-type' towels that are just in white/cream packaging.

'Have a happy period'

Just fuck off with your 'have a happy period'.

You just KNOW that was thought up by a man

Scuse typos in OP. Stupid autocorrect.

I have a mooncup, and it is packages in a sweet little drawstring bag with a pink ribbon.

I think that we are off the mark assuming this is all thought up by men. It's 4yo girls, I tell you.

Or maybe put them in a small cosmetic bag? I got a tin thing with the last lot of bodyform, I stick em in that so they don't fall out when I'm juggling baby/keys/bag/purse in line for the tills. Stupid periods.

Slightly off topic, but the other day I found my mooncup acting as a toothpaste lid. Either the cleaner or dh had found it and decided that it must be the Colgate pump lid.

Minty fresh!

Inside zip pocket every time. Saves my tampons from falling out and rolling across the office floor

ha ha CourseyoucanMalcolm!

When I saw 'bloody pinks' I thought you had found a brand which embraced the gore.
