Take a Tour of the First-Ever Store Dedicated Entirely to Your Period
U by Kotex's Period Shop visited New York City this past weekend, and it was an absolute dream. Featuring everything you've ever needed for your period — hello, wall of chocolate — the pop-up celebration of all things menstruation was the best use of retail space we've seen in a while. If you missed it or don't live in New York City, no sweat. You can still shop it online at Hello Flo and Jet. For now, enjoy a virtual tour of the first but hopefully not last shop entirely dedicated to your amazing period.
Carlotta Kohl1/11Welcome to heaven! Heaven is period-themed.
Carlotta Kohl2/11This wall has the original Tumblr post that started it all, along with info on Susan's Place, a transitional residence that provides homeless women with housing support and a safe, supportive environment, to which all proceeds from the shop were donated.
Carlotta Kohl3/11Multiple walls lined with chocolate bars, because the Period Shop is Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory, and your period is a golden ticket.
Carlotta Kohl4/11Underrated innovation in period underwear: underwear that proudly declares your feminist standing. Also pictured: tampon bags. Or just regular bags that you fill with tampons, totally your choice.
Carlotta Kohl5/11Can we get this on a t-shirt? Or a poster? Or a small card to hand out to strangers?
Carlotta Kohl7/11A white couch in the Period Shop, because we're all fearless and our periods rule. (And a red couch if you're not quite there yet but still respect it — we feel you, for sure.)
Carlotta Kohl8/11A neon peace sign is cool, but a neon peace sign holding a tampon is everything.
Carlotta Kohl9/11Can you even have a period-themed shop without cupcakes? So far in history, no. They also served mini pizzas and cheeseburger sliders.
