nother year, another International Womens Day passed with the expected amount of corporate feminist chicanery. A week out, were still sifting through the various products released in the effort to prove woke capital credentialsone of which is the weirdly named Femme Pouch. As noted by Racked, the pouch is a collaboration between the minimalist fashion brand Cuyana and organic tampon company Lola in honor of International Womens Day. For the low price of $60 (or several boxes of tampons), owners of the Femme Pouch can carry up to two tampons around in what is essentially a pencil case made from pebbled Italian leather.

(26,595 posts)But I think you're on to something here: some kind of goofy additive (crystallized unicorn sweat, for example) to turn plain bottled water into miracle health water, plus a super-pricey leather case to carry in in. Let the money roll in!

(14,521 posts)tampons came in a wrapper or there was a zippered pocket in a purse to put them in. That way women wouldn't have to pay $60 for a leather pouch to keep them in.
Give Czarina Ivanka time, she will steal this idea for her line of wares.
