The Museum of Menstruation
and Women's Health
"Vinnie's" Tampon Case, 1998
This museum has several pad and
tampon carriers, but none as
expressive as this one!
Rather than trying to conceal what
the function of the case is, it
broadcasts it! No mainstream company,
which would do its best to cover up
everything to do with menstruation,
would make such a thing.
The art work has a carnival feel
about it, typical comic-book material.
I wonder if that is what Vinnie looks
like - and does he leer like that? And
what's with the dice?
A woman visitor of this site sent me
Vinnie's ad for this case, and I
bought one for your MUM.

Sorry to put the
"front" side upside down, but I found
the back side more interesting.

Look at the interior.
How many women are going to put their
names inside?
