# Moonbox The Little Box That Makes Your Period Less Taboo By Gaelle Devins | Published 2006-05-11 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moonbox-the-little-box-that-makes-your-period-less-taboo References: [moonbox.ch](http://www.moonbox.ch/) Ladies, the Moonbox is a small, non-discrete box that you can carry during that time of the month. The idea is to make period-time less taboo and more 'poetic'. Interesting! **Why Moon, what is this reference to the moon?** Because [menstrual cycles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menstrual-health-day) are related to lunar cycles. Here, there is a way of associating women with their basic energy, of enriching their lives with continuity, a heritage passed from one woman to another. Even though the medium is modern – through its design and materials - the MoonBox is the emblem of eternal femininity. And the moon theme is a metaphor filled with poetry... **Are [periods still taboo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-pot)?** As in all things concerning intimacy and the body, there is a tendency to be more open about periods. Nonetheless, the words are still difficult and relatively ungainly. The many metaphors - the monthlies, the usual, etc – are hardly an invitation to eloquence. It's here in particular that the passing on of experience is fundamental. Girls enter a new world and it's up to the women in their lives to offer encouragement, tenderness and guidance. The MoonBox is designed to assist this [sharing of experience](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menstrual-care-solutions), by becoming a vehicle for communication between women. With gestures and gifts, words come more easily. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Menstrual Taboo:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop products and services that challenge the societal taboos surrounding menstruation, creating a more open and accepting environment for women. - **Feminine Continuity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative solutions that help women embrace their menstrual cycles as a source of strength and connection, fostering a sense of continuity and heritage. - **Communication Tools:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Invent new communication tools, such as the Moonbox, that facilitate sharing experiences and offering support between women during menstruation. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Menstrual Product Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Revolutionize the menstrual product industry by developing discreet and convenient products that cater to women's diverse preferences and needs. - **Wellness and Self-care Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate in the wellness and self-care industry by creating holistic solutions that address the physical and emotional aspects of menstruation, promoting overall well-being. - **Personal Communication Technology Industry:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Transform the personal communication technology industry by designing user-friendly and intuitive tools that facilitate meaningful connections and support among women. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Uterus-Shaped Cereals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/period-crunch.md) - [Period Sex Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lets-have-period-sex.md) - [Menopause Subscription Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/she20.md) - [Gender-Neutral Period Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aunt-flow.md) - [Eco-Conscious Menstrual Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natracare.md) - [Smart Menstrual Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emm.md) - [Sustainable Menstrual Care Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unfabled.md) - [Menstrual Product-Celebrating Jeans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/u-by-kotex-maximalism-jeans.md) - [Connected Menstruation Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-menstrual-cup.md)
