I just have to get this out- I purchased a multipack of target brand tampons; so- light, med and super flow all in one box. I happened to notice the wrappers are all color coded. or at least colorful as the color they are makes no sense or correlation to what is inside. Am I alone in the idea that the color on the outside should give a hint to what this thing will do? the colors are something like. green, yellow, purple, maybe they are supposed to be happy colors? but when im rummaging around in a box under the sink at 5 am I think it might be more helpful if the color on the wrapper corresponded to its absorbency. I would buy your tampons for the remainder of my menstruation-having years if this was implemented. I just don't have time to turn on a light and try to locate on the wrapper the one place in smallish cursive font where the specific flow rate is mentioned. Nor for the life of me can I remember how much I need to be bleeding or not bleeding to need a purple tampon.

It could be so easy like the colors of a stoplight, light flow could be green, like "go ahead and keep on with your normal routine, everything's okay" yellow, for medium flow, "take it easy but don't worry, you can still go camping" and red, heavy flow, "stay in and eat things covered in chocolate." I'll even offer an alternative color solution, just color them pastel wrappers for light and ever-darkening for heavy flow.

Can you believe I'm just giving these ideas away? This is gold!
