Because feminine napkins should draw MORE attention to themselves, designer Patricia Field partnered with Kotex to hold a contest looking for the most creative maxi pad and tampon carrier designs.

Tampon carriers, I get. Useful, discreet, sane. But unless you’re Betsey Johnson or ten years old, I don’t really “get” the desire to wear a blinged out pad. I don’t get the desire to wear a pad period, but I understand that it’s a lifestyle choice and none of my business. However, even as a kid, I’m pretty sure the last thing I thought was, “I want THE WORLD to know I have my period. My pad is SO LOUD that it screams when I open up my book bag.”

Three winners will hang with Field at New York Fashion Week this Fall.
