Carrie - Wearable pocket
Carrie is a wearable pocket for storing tampons and sanitary pads, designed to be worn discreetly.
Carrie is a wearable pocket for storing tampons and sanitary pads, designed to be worn discreetly and underneath clothes. As well as storing these period products more hygienically than some women’s current options, Carrie is designed to reveal the products both where and when they are needed.
In a world where the man is still the norm, women are sometimes disregarded in the design process of products and environments. Those who work in male dominated professions can face the worst experiences, as these sex-specific activities have not informed the design of the work environments and the work schedules within which they now occur.
