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:

Femcare? A luxe curation? What is this nonsense?!

Blimey, I came on here to say that mumsnetters were too sensible for this sort of rubbish.....

This actually baffles me. What a waste of money.

Unboxing video on YouTube

Here's what your DD can get for £12.99 a month

"Paperclips - everyone loves paperclips" 😂

dear god what fresh he’ll is this?? Think of the environment, half of that box is tat that’s going straight to landfill, all the excessive packaging... going to landfill, and personal choice here but all those femcare products.... straight to landfill. Reusable washable cotton pads and a hot water bottle, done and when they’re older and want to try it they can try a mooncup.

Fuck me the reason the girl in that video linked above can’t sleep is because she’s being churned in the over consuming machine that is this mad world we live in where we all need to buy bloody boxes of shite for our daughter because they’re on their period... ffs who the hell needs a biro because they’re on the bloody blob.

Can’t eyeroll hard enough.

@Badweekjustgotworse sorry but your post made me laugh!

Nothing like stereotyping menstruating women as girls in need of all things pink and sweet - will they throw in a bottle of lambrini and an invitation to a pamper party of we're extra good?
Can't believe MN is promoting this nonsense.

... and everything that Badweek said too

ffs who the hell needs a biro because they’re on the bloody blob

This x 1,000,000 ^^

What a load of nonsense! Disappointed that you’re supporting this box of tat MN. As a PP said, most will end up in landfill

It’s just your period fgs

And it's so bloody infantilising. If I want to "pamper" myself I'll choose my own brand of chocolate and red wine thank you - not be given it by the Corporate Man cos I'm an ickle-wickle girly who has to rely on others to meet my needs.
And if my (hypothetical) daughter was starting to menstruate I'd treat it as a positive thing but not but into this crap.

Wanted to link to a feminist hot water water but couldn’t find any... who wants to invest in a start up selling hot water bottle covers that day ‘smash the patriarchy one cramp at a time’ 😂

Badweek's post made DD(13) and me laugh, too!

Here's DD's review of the BettyBox

Would love to. Have registered!

I definitely should have been a bloke. Can think of few things I would like less to share notes about with teen DD.

Signed up, this sounds ideal for my autistic teen daughter.

can someone check if my application went through as when i pressed submit it came up with an error yet when i tried retaking the survey it said you have already taken the survey.....

badweek couldn't agree more. Your hot water bottles are a great idea I would def buy a couple!

I actually thought this was a joke when I starting reading

£12 a month for a load of rubbish which reinforces every blooming “girly” stereotype going. All that’s needed is a little pat on the head from the postman delivering it

Never heard of these before. Sounds like a wonderful idea. Also maybe something for my daughter to find a bit of happiness during the time of the month that's relatively new to her. It's always hard at the time of starting.

Hi all, thanks for your comments. Pink Parcel has asked us to share the below about the box:

"The monthly price for Pink Parcel is £12.99 with free delivery, and is worth over £40 every month. Customers not only get great value, they benefit from the convenience of having their tampons and pads delivered in sync with their period and get to try new products too. The Pink Parcel packaging is plain cardboard and 100% recyclable, and the 'for now' bag can be reused in every day life."

@del2929 we've received your response to the survey

I am so relieved I'm not the only one that feels this way. MN really? there are so many good companies and interesting product tests out there to align your name with.

—The Pink Parcel packaging is plain cardboard and 100% recyclable, and the 'for now' bag can be reused in every day life."—

Whoopdiee fucking doo... there’s one big box, that ointains what? 4 more fecking boxes that all contain products that are already boxed and then presumably there’s postal packaging as well. So all the products are boxed in at least 4 layers of packaging at least 2 of which are unnecessary and purely there for appearance. Cut the packing by 50% and use 100% RECYLCED cardboard to start with, not sure why we’re supposed to be impressed that the cardboard packaging is 100% cardboard

Even at that still leaves the problem of the products themselves being landfill fodder anyway... even the woman in the first video linked upthread admitted she probably wouldn’t use most of the products...wtf was that shaver thing anyway? Reminded me of something you’d get in a Christmas cracker... straight in the bin

This type of bollocks gives me the rage, I’m off to hug a tree
