The ingenious thinking behind Booze Tubes allows any female to conceal alcohol secretly in a tampon-inspired holder. Each [clear refillable tube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ukrainian-spirit) roughly holds up to two ounces of liquor and slips discreetly into a green plastic packaging. This packaging mimics the likes of Tampax and Kotex, making any security personnel think you are bringing in regular tampons.

Booze Tubes are 100% reusable, unlike your regular tampon. Each pack comes with five fake tampons, allowing anyone to carry up to ten ounces of hard liquor on them at any time. Booze Tubes are a great substitute to the [traditional flask](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-cool-flask) and hide alcohol in plain sight. Word to the wise, just don't mistake these for your regular tampon.
