The blog title where this beauty was found reads: “Crochet, Comfortable & Practical for Girls”. Where to begin exactly? Yikes. Not sure how comfortable or practical this design would be given the lumps and bumps the tampons would create under a pair of pants or skirt but then again, who would notice, right? Insert sarcastic smirk here.
Thank you to one of our faithful readers for sending this submission in – it does appear on a blog from Hungary so perhaps the translation isn’t that great with Google Translate but I’m not so sure there’s an excuse for this one.

Wow. Just wow. What would you wear over that???
Though (and I can’t believe I’m about to say this) without the tampon holders they are actually kindof cute …

I thought the same thing, Anne – if I were younger I’d be searching out that pattern for a bikini bottom.
February 8, 2011 at 10:36 am
I agree with both of you – too bad they messed it up with the tampon holders!
February 8, 2011 at 6:55 pm
I was about to post essentially the same comment about these starting with Wow.

my first thought is, “its a good thing that the short tubular shapes are offset to the side like that or someone would think that she was really a he!” ROTF this is the ultimate in gender-bending style under clothing, takes care of a feminine-only need while giving a masculine effect.

This could be your best/worst find yet.
Really did L.O.L.

I showed this to my 2 teenage daughters while saying, “I am so gonna make this for y’all!!” They both said, “Um, eww, no!”
I wonder why they always looks nervously at me when I get my hooks out. Hmmm….

Thank you for the idea!

Not exactly sterile having unwrapped tampons like that, is it?
February 17, 2011 at 11:02 am
Tampons are not sterile to begin with. But yeah, this would just get them dirty and knock the fibers around. (Maybe put a wrapped OB in there?)

The US and Canada are really the only two countries where tamons with aplacators are common. In most places outside of these countries tampons are often not individualy wrapped but come in a box loose. So this makes more sence to Europe and other countries that to the US. I think it’s a great idea! No more carring your purse to the bathroom with you and everyone knowing that you are on your period at work or school!

I’m with the rest of you, I would want a pattern without the tampon pockets. Anybody experienced enough to modify this pattern?
February 9, 2011 at 10:43 am
The “tampon cozies” appear to have been added after-the-fact, so (if you can find the pattern) just don’t make them.
October 24, 2011 at 3:47 pm
Indeed, the holders were an afterthought.
February 8, 2011 at 6:17 pm
Somebody get a blanket for that poor girl! Can’t you see she’s cold?? Look at the goosebumps!
February 8, 2011 at 7:46 pm
… because we all want to wear fancy crochet underwear during our period…?
So, so many things wrong with this.
May 15, 2011 at 1:30 am
That was my thought. I don’t want to wear impractical sexy underwear during my period. (Well, I don’t want to ever wear it but ESPECIALLY during my period…)
Also, what if you leaked? Your pretty hookwork would be ruined?
February 9, 2011 at 12:34 pm
It might be kinda cute without the tampon pockets but I don’t know even one girl who would wear it either way ^ I have teenage granddaughters.
February 10, 2011 at 1:51 am
Oh wow! This is horrible! lol! I can’t imagine how uncomfortable these must be to wear with tampons actually in them.
Oh the horror!!!! LOVE your blog! Keep it up!!!
February 10, 2011 at 10:27 am
Maybe they’re for younger girls embarrassed to take a purse to the bathroom? And a girl doesn’t always have pockets. Some OB tampon sizes might be slim enough to make this work. The placement should be modified though, like maybe sideways along the front edge of the leg openings.
That being said, jeez, this is a strange solution! Does make me want to crochet a tampon bandolier for artsy fun though.

Creativity can be a very dangerous thing in the wrong hands. In this case, toxic shock from nonsterile tampons. On the other hand, could be modified to hold a variety of lipsticks…
February 11, 2011 at 8:25 pm
Little modification to fit the male and he can carry ammo for duck hunting.
February 12, 2011 at 12:24 am
As long as the ammo’s not bigger than his package!
February 12, 2011 at 8:29 am
I don’t understand the concept of crocheted swimwear, anyway. It would be heavy and droopy getting out of the water. And if it’s meant as underwear, your skirt or pants would be all lumpy. Maybe this was meant as humor.
February 12, 2011 at 5:19 pm
There are many a lumpy lace bra out there! But seriously, when you’re wearing tight/silky clothes you wear seamless underwear. Lace underwear under a bulky sweater and jeans, works fine.
March 6, 2011 at 4:20 am
in which case you would have pockets to put your things in! … or if wearing sweater over leggings or something with no pockets – you could wear a shirt with a pocket or sew a fabric “pocket” on the inside of the sweater if need be … lol
or you could be really creative and make a mobile phone pouch taht looks like a person/animal/etc and hide a couple of (wrapped) tampons in the legs …
(hmmm I might be onto something – maybe I should have kept that idea to myself? lol)
February 16, 2011 at 3:49 am
I’m gonna go there…she looks like her underware accessories are tiny limp pen*ses. Ew
February 17, 2011 at 6:58 am
Hahaha! There are no words!
February 18, 2011 at 12:10 am
Unused tampons make great toy mice for cats. Just a thought.
March 22, 2011 at 9:02 am
This is incredible. I’m loving the whole ethos of your blog too, I love to crochet but there’s a humungous amount of awfullness out there that makes me ashamed to call myself a crocheter. Thanks for giving me a giggle.
