1. A personal storing device for tampons configured for storing and tracking the use of each individual tampon, wherein said device comprises:
a storage compartment in which tampons are stored before use;
a counting means for detecting the number of tampons in the storage compartment or for detecting a change in the number of tampons in the storage compartment, wherein the counting means is configured to convert this information into electronically recognized signals;
a user interface means for enabling the user to see a status of the storing device and to interact with the storing device;
an electronic module with data processing and memory storage capabilities, wherein said electronic module is configured for running software programs, recording time, receiving signals from the counting means, receiving and sending signals to the user interface means, and triggering or changing the status of the storing device depending on lapsed time, signals received from the counting means and from signals received from the user interface means, wherein the storage device has at least three statuses capable of being recognized by the electronic module and user interface means; and
a power module for powering all electric components of the storing device and wherein the counting means and the user interface means are connected to the electronic module.
