Where other period care brands have created colorful, candy-like wrappers, Cora is making a louder statement by reimagining tampons with The Cora Bag Charm that demands to be seen, flipping the script on shame and turning period care into an accessory moment. This statement-making bag charm is made to hold one of the brand's Comfort Fit Tampons, and doesn't try to disguise itself as anything that it is not. As Cora says, "The Cora Bag Charm is our answer to the awkward purse-to-pocket sleight of hand, period shame, and crumbled purse tampon. It's part statement piece, part emergency backup, and 100% proudly carried."
