Menstruation-Celebrating Christmas Decor

The Camel Club Features a Tampon-Decked Tannenbaum

— December 22, 2015 — Art & Design
In an effort to reduce the stigma surrounding periods, a club in West Yorkshire called the Camel Club has put up a Christmas tree decorated with tampons. The Huddersfield venue is eschewing more traditional decorations with their 'Sani-Tree.' Also wrapped with tinsel and lights, the tree is supposed to help patrons through the holiday period.

The UK club is using the female sanitary products for purely decorative reasons, as the tampons have been removed from their packaging to be placed on the tree with what appears to be wooden clothing pins.

Popular among university students, the Camel Club has received praise from the Huddersfield University Feminist Society. The festive installation is just one way to de-stigmatize menstruation, as others turn to jewelry and video games.
Trend Themes
1. De-stigmatizing Menstruation - Using unconventional means, such as tampon-decorated Christmas trees, to reduce the stigma surrounding periods.

2. Event Decoration - Innovative event decorators can explore avant-garde installations, like tampon-decorated trees, to create memorable and conversation-starting experiences.
3. Jewelry and Accessories - Jewelry designers and retailers can tap into the trend of period jewelry to provide unique and empowering pieces that celebrate menstruation.
