It's that time of the month (TMI?).. And now periods are made simpler for us thanks to the growing trend that is subscription boxes. Pink Parcel is marketing genius. I really wish I had thought of this first! For only £9.95 a month (or per cycle, whatever you prefer!) you will receive a discretly packaged box through the mail containing 25 tampons of your choice of flow and brand, along with a few little extras to make you feel more human during those few days when you turn into a hormonal mess. This is my first box, and I pretty impressed!
The box is laid out in three sections, 'for now' 'for later' and 'for you'. The tampons themselves come in two boxes of 10, and a drawstring bag with 5 in, designed to fit in your handbag. So cute! The packaging of everything is so clean and well designed, it's not über femmine or plastered in horrible words such as period or sanitary. Just how it should be.
The third section is some beauty and lifestyle treats, which is obviously the most exciting part! I've received Maybelline Baby Lips in Intensive care (value of £2.99), luckily one I haven't yet brought. I've also got Simple Kind to Skin+ Moisture boost Hydro Mist (value of £5.99), this is a refreshing facial mist, designed to refresh and moisturise even over makeup. Winner! I also have a travel size of Impulse in Very Pink (value of £1.20) which smells lovely, and a great size for handbags!
My lifestyle extras were a Teapigs sample of chamomile tea (value of £0.60) which are whole flowers in a biodegradable bag and a mini bar of Montezuma's smooth milk chocolate (value of £0.85). Both of these I'm going to enjoy, probably together, while nursing the mother of all cramps.
Overall, without the tampons included, the value of the Box came to £11.63. Which seeming when postage is included and you do get enough tampons for your cycle (minus the embarrassment of walking round Tesco with them shoved in your basket) is quite good value. You also have the flexibility of changing which brand your sent at any time, as well as changing plans from single flow to multi flow. Customer services (as I've already found out) are fabulous and there's already plans in place to add more brands as well as towels.
As fair as periods go I think I'm going to enjoy this one thanks to Pink Parcel! I love everything about it, from how it all looks to the fact that all the packing is recyclable (as well as FSC approved!) and of course what's in the actual box. I very much reccomend!
