Pink Parcel and bettybox have asked us to find Mumsnetters to test their monthly subscription boxes with their daughters. To take part, you’ll need to be a Mumsnetter who uses femcare products and/or have a daughter using femcare products.

Some information from Pink Parcel and bettybox below:

Delivered to your door monthly on a day of your choosing each box contains over £40 of femcare and beauty products including a luxe curation of cult beauty brands, herbal teas and artisan chocolates. You can select your choice of tampons, pads or a mix of both from all your trusted femcare brands. This super convenient box ensures you’ll never run out of femcare products again.”

Well I don't know why you just didn't email them then if you felt so strongly. Maybe get yourself an artisan bar, give it a whirl, let the endorphins take over

Chocolate is food. Food is good. Therefore chocolate is good. Too much chocolate, like too much food, is not good though.

Food doesn't 'help with blood loss'. I think leeches do that.

Sorry you feel patronised. I meant that genuinely for what it's worth - I do hope you find the box enjoyable. I don't personally feel the need for chocolate when I have my period, but I know it's a common craving. I myself feel patronised by pseudo scientific marketing though.

I think posting on here is probably more effective than emailing them, especially as I'd never heard about the product until this appeared.

No worries - I didn't mean that I felt personally patronised. The product is being offered as a trial and being advertised. Everyone's entitled to an opinion but dissecting, over reading inevitably will get jarring ; Mumsnet will bring different takes, it's just why bring threads down

Well, I think that this thread is probably offering the company quite useful feedback really. It's not the first criticism they've had, so I doubt they're surprised that some posters aren't impressed, and if their marketing was circling what the ASA would find acceptable, then better they know and change it surely?

Mumsnet will bring different takes, it's just why bring threads down

Offering a considered response to any product that is being marketed at you on an internet forum isn't bringing a thread down.

Well mine never turned up!

I was told me and my daughter had been successful but still haven't received anything?

Thank goodness for the good old supermarket then!

I've not received the boxes for my daughter and yet but I look forward to doing so, we can't wait to test them I think they look pretty good. Any idea how long until they arrive...hoping they arrive before that time of the month

We've not had ours yet either, so maybe they've not been sent out yet?

Oh dear. So you haven't received your detox green tea then? Read their latest blog, babble bingo.

I've not yet received mine either. Though I wouldn't be surprised if, after reading this thread they have decided to pull the test.

Nooo I hope not I'm so looking forward to this and my daughter is too, sounds great to me not sure why people signed up to.it if not interested in it. Just jog on if it's not your thing. No biggy.

If they are worried about criticism, then it seems odd to ask for feedback on MN? Unless they were expecting lots of posters going 'oh, it's PINK and means I never have to publicly acknowledge menstruation ever again. THANK YOU, Pink Parcel' etc etc. Which some of the interestingly worded responses to the call for takers at the start of this thread might well have led them to believe might happen I suppose.

Naturally i didn't sign up, and that's not just because I'm not eligible. The concept is bad enough but the beauty blogger babble is worse.

I wonder if they are going to send the boxes out in March.
I hope so as I've watched a couple of unboxings of February's offering, and the BettyBox is seriously crap. The Pink Parcel isn't great but I think it's particularly mean to offer up such meagre contents to youngsters.

Although this could be a valuable lesson for them.

Was all ready this month and now my period has come and I'm disappointed it never arrived.

Me too @Kangar00

Has anyone who said they been chosen heard anything yet?

sepsisandAKI I received email on the 5th February to say we had been chosen. I filled in the surveys the same day. I haven't heard anything yet.

We’ve not received anything yet either. Wonder if mumsnet know what’s going on?

Heard nothing either yet

Have not received the boxes as yet?

Hi all - really sorry for the delay with this product test. You should receive an email soon to let you know when to expect your box (or boxes!)
