The Tampon Book is much more than a smart packaging that hacked the German tax system.

"London-based illustrator Ana Curbelo was commissioned to create the images for The Tampon Book, adding a sense of playfulness and fun through uncompromising characters that show that periods aren't something to be shy about, but something that's real, universal to most women and something that calls for open and honest conversation, whatever your gender." - Creative Boom
