LADIES, you're not fooling your co-workers when you carry your purse from your desk to the rest room. Everyone knows what it means.

Well, almost everyone. Guys, in case you've been wondering, women often use their handbags to discreetly tote around their feminine hygiene products.

Yes, we're talking about tampons and sanitary pads. For their periods.

Feeling uncomfortable yet? Read on.

Why, when we live in a world where private parts are celebrated on stage ("The Vagina Monologues") and on TV ("Sex and the City"), are women (and men, for that matter) still so shy about menstruation, a perfectly natural -- if bloody -- event?

In her funny 1978 essay "If Men Could Menstruate," feminist icon Gloria Steinem envisioned a fantasy world where "men would brag about how much and how long." Paul Newman's name would be on a tampon, "he's a three-pad man" would be a common phrase and men would cite their cycles as a reason to secure social and political superiority over women.

The reality, of course, is different.

Call it "the curse," an unavoidable annoyance, or a celebration of womanhood, menstruation remains one of America's few lingering taboos.

But are times beginning to change? Are women on the verge of feeling free to toss a tampon across the room to a friend in need or saunter to the rest room holding a pad in plain view? Some are.

Take Barbara Carey of Orinda.

Carey is on a crusade to get girls and women talking freely about the topic. She has developed a "cute" brand of tampons and panty- liners named Dittie.

"It means a little statement," says Carey, who likes that Ditties are sometimes called "fortune cookie" tampons. Spunky and thoughtful messages on the wrappers are supposed to be fun, sassy and promote self-esteem, to the point where girls say, "I love my body -- every nook and cranny," explains Carey.

One wrapper, for example, proclaims: "Why be a Charlie's Angel when I can be a Charlie?"

Women were surprisingly unafraid to share their experiences for this story.

Not one person answered "no comment" when asked, "How do you feel about your period?" Some laughed, some requested that their names not be printed and some chatted freely.

"It's not quite as pleasant as my birthday," says Aimee Strain, 29, of Foster City. "While it's not exactly my favorite time, I don't hate it. It's natural."

And Strain says her husband doesn't like it either.

"Sometimes I like it," says Carol Groshong, 22. "It's a relief because not having it would be much worse."

From the beginning

Of course, while females simply learn to tolerate whatever their cycle brings them -- extreme pain, minor discomfort, volatile emotions or simply inconvenience -- many weren't necessarily ready for the onset of womanhood.

"When I was younger it was a burden," says Strain of Foster City.

"It definitely was a curse," says Katie Edwards, 27. "My mother never prepared me for it."

Many women remember their moms pointing out certain items in the bathroom cabinet but offering no added explanation.

TWO male robbers donned burkhas and posed as Muslim women before carrying out a terrifying armed raid on a Scottish jeweller's shop.

The men wore the all-encompassing robes and carried handbags as they targeted the Glasgow store.

And last night there were fears they could be part of an international gang after it emerged a spate of similar raids have taken place across Europe.

In the latest robbery, on Saturday, one of the disguised men pulled a handgun from his burkha and threatened staff at the ATAA store in Great Western Road.

He and his accomplice then made off with jewellery worth thousands of pounds, casting off their disguises as they ran off towards Woodlands Drive.

Witnesses who saw the escape said the robbers were both Asian men.

Last night, police were investigating whether the theft could be the the work of international criminals.

Similar raids using the burkha as a disguise have been carried out in several major cities including Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt and London.

The latest incident has provoked debate about the wearing of the burkha by Muslim women in Scotland.

Glasgow Labour councillor Hanzala Malik said yesterday: 'If retailers are uncomfortable about customers coming into secured premises and dressed in burkhas, they are perfectly within their rights to deny entry.

Banks don't allow people wearing helmets into their premises.' However, Osama Saeed, chief executive of the Scottish-Islamic Foundation, said: 'We don't want to see people who choose to wear a face veil discriminated against.

'However, we do have sympathy with security concerns in certain situations, for example in schools.' Bashir Maan, Chairman of the Muslim Council of Scotland added: 'Traditionally, Muslim women should not enter a shop unless they are accompanied by a man. But this does not always happen.' The two suspects in the Glasgow robbery are described as Asian, around 5ft 10in to 6ft in height.

In February, a [pounds sterling]15,000 diamond ring was stolen from the Lime Blue Diamond Store in Edinburgh. It was linked to a series of international raids by a thief who dresses as a wealthy Muslim woman and has been dubbed the 'high magician'.

Last year, a 6ft6in tall robber was captured on CCTV tricking his way into a locked jewellery store in Birmingham by posing as a Muslim woman before launching a violent attack on staff with four accomplices who stole [pounds sterling]200,000 of 24-carat gold jewellery.

Last night a spokesman for Strathclyde Police said: 'There's no immediate link to other crimes across Europe but we would never rule anything out.

'This was a very frightening experience for the women in the shop.'
