Tampon Cozies

Posted on January 12, 2008 by whatnottocrochet

Meant to “disguise” your most personal feminine hygiene product -
you decide if it works or not.  The pink one is a uterus cozy with ovaries on it!

Thank you to one of our readers for this submission!

    This makes me uncomfortable. Yes, I’m a woman but Christ! Just throw it in your purse like a normal person.

    I’m not sure whether to laugh hysterically or gasp indignitly…ah, hell, I’ll do both!

    Bwahahahahaha!

    Oh!

    My!

    God!

    I still shake my head every time I look at this and wonder WTF was she thinking!!

    I’m coming out of the woodwork for this one. Holy Moly!

    I so enjoy your blog. Thank you.

    OK, it’s ludicrous - but in a funny way. These made me laugh rather than cringe.

    Don’t you think that this would draw more attention to the tampon than hiding it? Just stick it up your sleeve when you go to the bathroom (don’t do this with short sleeves, you’re not Bowser from Sha Na Na with a pack of cigs rolled up in his t-shirt. Or stick it in your bra.

    I don’t know….these actually made me giggle! These would make great gag gifts!

    You have t to be kidding me! I can think of many better ways to use up little bits of yarn!

  10. karisma, on January 13th, 2008 at 2:34 pm Said:

    Oh Lord! *hysterical laughing* I mean, I thought the crocheted va-jay-jays were bad, but this is right up there! Just stick ‘em in the zipper compartment and you won’t have to worry about it!

    LOL - I’m thinking of an episode of The Young Ones where they have a party and one of the guys snoops in a female guest’s handbag in front of everyone. “OH LOOK! A PRESENT! It’s a telescope… with a mousie inside!” ROFL!

    not needed for me anymore, but would disguise it like a flower or some other object in purse if i were to make one

  12. Aj, on January 13th, 2008 at 7:45 pm Said:

    Oh. My. Goodness.

  13. Robin, on January 14th, 2008 at 8:18 am Said:

    It makes my ovaries hurt looking at it and I don’t have a clue _why_.
    Just be normal and put it in your purse or pocket. Why make such a “show it off” container for something , presumambly, you are trying to hide?
    Use the yarn for something else, anything else…..
    well, almost anything else.

    I have made a pouch to hold feminine hygiene products once, could also double as a glasses case, and I’ll admit, but these are quite disturbing!

    These patterns/items were for sale? Do you REALLY need a pattern for this? Can you imagine these for sale at a county fair or something? goodness!

  15. Flora, on January 14th, 2008 at 3:06 pm Said:

    Some people just don’t know when to put down the hook and walk away from the yarn.

  16. yarncrazy102, on January 14th, 2008 at 11:11 pm Said:

    Well, ladies (and I seriously hope you are mostly all ladies) you have given me the best chuckle of the day. This little ditty is just as interesting as a Willy Warmer and, if you don’t know what that is, well . . . I’m not going to explain it. There really isn’t a need to hide these anymore. Geez! my DH goes to the store to buy them for DD. What’s the big deal? Now if you think about a Willy Warmer and it’s function - that’s a necessity!

  17. Fawn, on January 14th, 2008 at 11:30 pm Said:

    Oh my, these are a hoot. I don’t need them anymore, thank goodness. But I got a good laugh.

    I really do not see why so many others are so uptight. At least they look better than the white paper package and will keep them cleaner.

  18. Bonzerino, on January 15th, 2008 at 10:41 am Said:

    OMG! Makes me glad I had a hysterectomy!

  19. Annie, on January 15th, 2008 at 11:07 am Said:

    I wish one of them had googly eyes. That would be hilarious.

  20. Fancy, on January 16th, 2008 at 10:54 pm Said:

    I LOVE them!! They made me laugh out loud! I only wish I still needed the products so I could always have something fun in my purse! The uterus is just too cute! I may have to make some for my younger friends and co-workers!

    Author burns! :LOL:

  22. atomikkitten, on January 19th, 2008 at 7:15 pm Said:

    My husband said those make his ovaries hurt…and I am happy that I had a partial hysterectomy…at least now I won’t even be tempted to make something so….weird (at the very least).

  23. lydee, on January 21st, 2008 at 12:32 pm Said:

    They look disturbingly like little alien creatures. Little alien creatures meant to disguise something for my most intimate areas…. like the makings of a freaky urban legend….

  24. cherrypicker, on January 23rd, 2008 at 4:02 am Said:

    these would certainly draw attention to your inner purse, the horrible ness of your 5 year old child pulling a tampon out of your bag and shouting “whats this mummy” very loudly in the playground when you are collecting from school, would be magnified 100 fold! whats next? a nice little cosy for your moon cup when its not in use? lol

  25. TracyLeigh, on January 25th, 2008 at 11:40 pm Said:

    This made me crack right up, But WTF is the yellow one supposed to be? A banana?????

  26. Crafty Witch, on January 26th, 2008 at 2:45 pm Said:

    Well, I think the one on the right is the perfect accompaniment for this video. Did you notice the, umm, interesting implications of the way these two twits are, errrm, fondling that banana?

    Disclaimer: I don’t buy their argument, and that video has been ripped to shreds by better educated, more intelligent people on YouTube and all over the blogosphere.

  27. Good laugh « Persillie Knits, on January 26th, 2008 at 4:34 pm Said:

    [...] good time browsing through What Not To Knit and What Not To Crochet.The absolute highlight were Tampon Cozies, I laughed until tears started… But I agree with one comment, that would be some gag [...]

  28. The Mad Crocheter, on January 28th, 2008 at 12:28 am Said:

    I laughed long and hard, but you know, I’ll be honest… I want to make one of these now. I am forever misplacing tampons in my purse where they get all covered in glittered eyeshadow and stuff. Not so much the ovaries though. I like the googly eyes idea!

    Wow!

  31. Drunken Housewife, on February 4th, 2008 at 1:43 am Said:

    Sad to say, I feel obsessed with this now. I SO want one of these! And I can’t crochet! Who will make one for me?

    Don’t suggest I take up crocheting— I already have a time-consuming quilting habit (and incidentally I’m also profoundly lazy, heh).

  32. Heather, on February 10th, 2008 at 10:25 am Said:

    Alright, i had to come out of the woodwork for this one as well. It took about 10 minutes to stop laughing hysterically to be able to type straight. I agree with the one that said this draws more attention to it. The uterus and ovaries one, uh, weird lol.

  33. Beth, on February 10th, 2008 at 9:59 pm Said:

    I thought that was awesome!!!! I loved the Uterus one. I am tempted to make one for myself just for the weird factor. Tee hee.

  34. how is it « Keelis’s Weblog, on February 11th, 2008 at 8:18 pm Said:

    [...] and the intense oddity of Tampon Cozies [...]

  35. Stephanie, on February 13th, 2008 at 3:09 pm Said:

    Holy Crap! I love these!!! They would work really well for gag gifts… oh! And I’d have to make sure to include a crocheted tampon too!! OMG!

  36. Smitty, on February 16th, 2008 at 3:54 pm Said:

    These are hilarious!

    Those would make great gag gifts! Haha.

    Well the one with ovaries goes perfectly with this skirt: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9073693

  40. Cora, on March 9th, 2008 at 8:39 pm Said:

    I love those…if used tampons I would make them. You should see some of the penis shaped ones out there. I have designed a pad holder that has raised more than a few eyebrows.

    Lorraine,

    As if this wasn’t wacky enough. How did you ever
    find that skirt? Your post was the cherry on the
    sundae! LOL.

  42. Alyssa, on March 14th, 2008 at 5:12 pm Said:

    They’re both…really creepy…the uterus especially…*shudders*

  43. Jenny, on March 15th, 2008 at 5:16 pm Said:

    Someone finding a tampon in my stuff might be embarrassing or uncomfortable or whatever..but someone finding a tampon in one of these would be 100x more embarrassing!! XD

  44. SleepingVanillaCat, on March 16th, 2008 at 12:22 pm Said:

    I think these are awesome! Fun idea.

  45. Scenna, on March 29th, 2008 at 10:11 am Said:

    Those are just too funny , but I just for the life of me cannot get the image of a crocheted condom out of my head ..
    hmm I think I have an idea for a new not to crochet gag gift lol

  46. Mara Shakespeare, on April 9th, 2008 at 12:07 am Said:

    I’m sorry but I’m glad you mentioned what it was cause I would not have guessed it was to cover tampons… wow…. I once found the crocheted condom on ebay… they look VERY similar. Yikes. lol
