I thought that chemenger - maybe you can specify frequency rather than calender date? I can see it being a problem!

For those appalled at the concept and execution - I have expressed interest, and this is my reasoning / opinions on it if anyone is even mildy interested!

The pink, enjoy your period, have some chocolate etc etc tagline did make me roll my eyes, I admit. I was going to mention it in my feedback if I got picked

I couldn't really see what was in the packs from the pic but one did look like it might have a moon cup in (although I now think it is a make up sponge) and that is something I have wanted to try for a while, but can't afford to spend £ on something I might try and not like.

For the same reason I wouldn't sign up to one of these without a 'try before you buy' opportunity. And why not try?

I thought there might be a varied range of sanpro to try - my periods are very different since DD and the sanpro I used previously is either uncomfortable or ineffective. A range of products to compare would be helpful.

I doubt they'd include a moon cup. If they gave you one of those you wouldn't need to sign up to pay £155/£169 on their "femcare", landfill and pampering crap.

If you are contemplating signing up to this, may I suggest instead that you spend a little money instead on tampons / towels to donate to a food bank.

When will we know if we've been selected?

DD (12 yrs) and I would really like to participate in this. Hope we're lucky!

Lady - they're two different things. I'm a subscriber but I still donate. And the liners I don't use I take to work for people who struggle affording them. Just because I do one, doesn't mean I can't do the other
I can't use tampax, the supermarkets near me don't stock lilets applicator and I like the Kotex tampons. The beauty bits are a bonus

Would love I’ve got a 14 yesr old :)

would love to try this x

Yes me and dd14 very interested in this!

What a great idea, DD has started 3 months ago and is getting tearful about managing it. This may just be the kick start into making it something to celebrate. Would be honoured to try it out.

That sounds like fun. We would love to take part!

Something to look forward to with the time of month which I normally dread my time of the month so will make a nice change :) x

I would love to take part

How exciting. Not heard of this subscription box before x

I would love to take part in this as my DD is at that age where going into shops with me is embarrassing and to be able to show her all this at home ight be a good thing.

This is beyond emetic.

Periods should be a minor inconvenience, if they aren't then go to the doctor. They are a body function, not a matter of pride or celebration. What next, a box to celebrate defecation?

Get out of the sixties.

yikes- didn't realise both could sign up and i only did myself- I cannot retake the form? can she also take part please? x

Some of the excited posts on here.

I've bought three mooncups in about 15 years. So about £60 or so - £4 a year roughly. No environmental impact. I could have managed with one apart from accidentally burning one while sterilising it, and the three kids that pushed me into the second size.

I definitely think reusable fem ware sanpro should be more affordable. It's a shame the initial outlay is beyond so many people, especially when you might need to try more than one.

This idea is just monetising our periods, and stereotyping us yet again. If you want red wine when you've got your period, buy yourself a decent bottle and enjoy it. If you want to cheer yourself up when you're feeling bloated and achey, subscribe to a book a month club or a tea club or a gin club. If you're in serious pain, see your GP.

Urgh urgh urgh urgh urgh

Some of these responses confirm what I've feared for a while now - mumsnet is turning into hunsnet

sounds fab ! all signed up x

it’s almost like people have different views on things isn’t it?

I’m still undecided on the box but some of these responses are bordering on unkind. If you have an argument on why people shouldn’t use them then fair enough but just insulting the people that want to try it isn’t going to persuade people.

What a load of 'pink' bollocks.

Well @snozzlemaid pink fanjos to be more precise

This is the thread that makes me lament the lack of eyeroll emoji on mumsnet.

Wow, this is a lot of hate for a rather harmless service.

I signed up to pink parcel last year and can recommend them for a few reasons :

1. I wanted to sign up for a beauty box subscription because I wanted to try new products without spending a fortune

1. This one was one of the cheapest with the highest reviews from different bloggers.

1. The sanitary products are a great bonus and they stocked the brand I use.

1. It is super convenient for my period, they come with a selection of day time liners, night time ones and lighter panty liners for the last couple of days.

1. I have more than enough for each period so that balances out for a 28 day cycle

1. Any products I don't use I save up and add to Christmas presents to bulk them out.

1. It's nice to receive a surprise parcel each month

1. The beauty products are actually really good. I use about 90% of what they send.
