How do you transport your tampons, pads etc. to the bathroom when you are at work? Do you take your purse? I slide it in my waist band or in my bra. Lol
Once I told my old manager I was going for a coffee break, and then he yelled at me for wasting time with coffee, so I just showed him the tampon in my hand as a reply.

Well, at my new fancey job, I use the freebies on the back of the toilet! But they are only regulars & some days I need a woman's tampon. lol. I put one in my pants pocket if that's an option, or I use my little wrist bag. I mean, everybody deals with it. I don't wear a red scarf tied around my arm, but I don't make it into a spy mission to stay incognito.
It's weird that we feel like we need to hide this.
I mean, I've had two children in the last 3 years. Chances are good that I menstruate.
This reminds me of last year, when I was having some reflux issues and so I was really nauseated at work for a couple weeks. I was sipping ginger ale and my boss, who has no boundaries, says "Are you pregnant?" Me: "Nope." Him: "Are you sure?" Me: "Well, I'm actively menstruating, so yep." Shut him up very quickly.
I work for a very small family business.
That being said, my desk is next to the bathroom so I just grab my products out of my bag and walk in.
If I'm in jeans, in a pocket. Otherwise, bra. Honestly- I usually stick one in my bra as soon as I think about it or I'll forget when I do go to the bathroom!
I wear it on a chain around my neck for all to see.
In reality though, I'm three feet from the bathroom door and my boss who sits next door who is in meetings 7 3/4 hours of the day, so he's never in his office. I just walk on over with it in my hand.

I slide them up my sleeve, middle school style.
I teach middle school, so pretty much everyone knows what I'm doing.
I carry like the olympic torch. Just kidding. I just hold it in my hands. I work with 8 other women so it's pretty much a daily topic and no one really cares.
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird to put things in bras? I mean, I don't have a problem with people who do it, but I would just feel weird doing it.
Before I worked from home, I took my purse to bathroom every time I went. Every place I worked someone ended up getting things stolen from their purse when they were away from their desk.

I have a little zippered woven bag/wallet thing that I got at a craft fair years ago that is the perfect size for tampons. I keep liners and some Advil and allergy meds and a couple band aids in it too. It's my little pharmacy kit.
