Designer Katarina Hornwall wanted to create something that women could bring around in case of a [menstruation-related emergency](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/step-one-period-underwear). The piece is made from solid aluminum and brass bars, and its shape resembles its proposed content -- a tampon. Hornwall came up with the product during discussions of why hygiene products are always secretive and hidden. Hornwall instead challenges this notion and makes the feminine product a prominent stylish fixture. Hung on a simple gold chain, the Tampon holder can also be used to store like-sized objects, and can act as a [stylish piece](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-hook-options) even on its own. To create even more interest, the split line to open the device makes it also look like a bullet. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 53% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Feminine Hygiene Wearables:** Developing wearable products that provide convenience and accessibility for feminine hygiene products can create disruptive innovation opportunities. - **Hygiene Product Visibility:** Challenging the notion of secretive hygiene products and making them prominent fixtures can create disruptive innovation opportunities. - **Multipurpose Product Design:** Creating products that serve multiple purposes, such as storage and fashion, can create disruptive innovation opportunities. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Fashion Accessories:** The fashion industry can benefit from this multipurpose tampon holder necklace to incorporate functional and trendy pieces into their lineup. - **Personal Care Products:** The personal care industry can further explore wearable products that provide convenience and accessibility for feminine hygiene products. - **Promotional Products:** The promotional products industry can create wearable and functional products such as tampon holders that double as necklaces for effective branding and marketing strategies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Evolutionary Spiralled Menstruation Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-tampon.md) - [AI-Powered Premium Jewelry Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aipowered-premium-jewelry.md) - [Robust Spiral-Shaped Tampons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sequel.md) - [Luxurious Safety Bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxurious-safety-bracelet.md) - [Mindful Breathing Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mindful-breathing-necklace.md) - [Comfort-Focused Lubricated Tampons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marlow-1.md) - [Connected Menstruation Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-menstrual-cup.md) - [Menstrual Discomfort Relief Belts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hottie-belt.md) - [Design-Led Pill Organizers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stylish-pill-box.md)
