Ok step 1 of Operation: Blood for the Blood God is “make a pouch I’m happy with.” This is a quick prototype that is broadly correct: there are two expandable pockets and a middle small pocket and a fold over flap. The expandable pockets means it can hold about 5 each pads and tampons which means, much like NASA to Sally Ride, I must ask the menstruators of mastodon if that’s the right number of tampons. I think I made the middle pocket a shade too big and would probably drop it by a half inch in all dimensions on the next attempt, but it’s not bad. The whole thing maybe could be a little bit smaller but then we get back into questions of what’s the right number of tampons, because smaller means fewer.

Poll in thread.

A small light blue pouch with a pattern of orange and yellow flowers in a heart shape and an orange snap. The pouch is about 5.5” square when flat.
A view of the back of the pouch showing the heart pattern somewhat more clearly. A Caucasian woman’s hand is propping it up from offscreen.
A side view of the pouch, showing the two expanding compartments. It’s got little gussets that let the two pockets create volume when needed.
A view of the interior of the pouch showing the pads and tampons inside. A Caucasian woman’s hand is holding open the center pocket for visibility.
