You may have seen me talk about beauty box subscriptions, but did you know you can get a period box subscription?
Well you can, and I just tested out the Betty Box.
It’s bright it’s fun and has a funky design. Teens are the main demographic, but as my husband likes to remind me; I’m a teenage girl inside. That’s probably why I love it.
Often, your period can be a joyless occasion; you’re uncomfortable, bloated, in pain, and a bit cranky and stressed. It almost seemed there was no silver lining.
Behold your silver lining:
Yes, its the Betty Box!
The contents comes in bright little boxes that are labelled ‘for night’, ‘for later’, ‘for you’, and you get a cool little pouch which it handbag (or schoolbag) handy.
Period supplies fill the pouch (pads and pantyliners), the ‘for night’ box (night time pads) and the ‘for later’ box (more pads). A good size stash even for my week long periods.
The best thing about the period products is that they’re from well-known brands. So for me, there’s no worries about leaks or any other period unpleasantness. On the website there’s a choice of products that they’ll send out, and you can change your selection any time.
I love that they recognise everyone’s period is different and offer products in all shapes and sizes. It’s great to have choices and tailor the box to your needs.It’s even more important for teens; they’re only just starting to make their own decisions in life, and with something so personal, they need the freedom to make their own choices.
Aside from all the business stuff you get for you period, there’s loads of lovely fun stuff just for you too. Here’s what was in my box:
Clockwise (starting at 12 o’clock) I got: some sleep tea, some Bandees hair ties, Bryt socks, MAGN!TONE microfibre face cleansing cloth, Bakedin Chocolate Brownie Mug Mix, and a Bare Foot lemon & sage foot scrub. In the middle is the little booklet that tells you about what you’ve got in the box.
I love everything! It’s cold out, I have period pains, and it’s not quite close enough to Christmas to get excited yet. These treats have really brightened up my evening. I’m in my final year at uni and it’s exam time at the moment, so these treats have been getting me through what would have been an otherwise dismal period.
I think these subscription boxes will have people looking forward to their periods instead of dreading them. As someone who spent most of her teen years dreading my time of the month, I think it’s really important to make this monthly experience more pleasant. Betty Box made my period so much less awful, thank you for sending me a box to try out!
What a great idea – I love all the extras!
It’s fab isn’t it? I love it, I wish I’d had something like this back when I first started my periods!
Ooh these look ace! I must try one 🖒
can you suggest something for new mother?
I haven’t subscribed to any new mother boxes but if you like the idea of a subscription box with treats just for you, my favourite are Glossybox and Lookfantastic Box if that helps?
This is a really great idea for an essential product
My daughter already subscribes to this box and loves it!
A box like this is a great idea/
Sounds a good idea
These look great, I’ll be telling my daughter about them
This is a great idea. I will tell my niece about these 🙂
fantastic idea having a period box
This is perfect for teens i love it!
Loving the colours! Very funky
Such a brill idea for teenagers – know my neices will love this
Never seen anything like this before! It’s a great idea 🙂
I’d have loved something like this when I was a teen. I love it now, but I would have been so impressed back then!
Wow, fantastic, this would be perfect for my niece , it feels like a real treat box
I think this is a great idea to brighten up that time of month, especially for teenagers.
What a great idea. Wish they had these when i was a teenager.
I don’t need them anymore however my daughter and DiL do so I will be telling them about the betty box
This looks fab, I would have loves something like this when I was a teen
What a fabulous idea. I didnt know anything like this existed until I read this blog. Its a great idea.
I’ve not seen anything like this before. What a great idea!
I really want to get this box for my teenage daughter
This is fab and something I need to look into!
These look great!
This seems amazing and would be perfect for teenagers too! 🙂
Wish these had been around when I first started my periods
wow these look fab!!
What a fabulous idea! If only these were around when I was a teen. I will definitely be looking into these when my daughter comes of age as it’s such a great way to cheer up those ‘not so great’ times of the month.
That’s an awesome idea! Would be fab to do a starter specific kit for young first timers!
Wow!! I’d almost look forward to my periods with one of these.
Looks interesting
This is a great idea
Such great article…. and good ideas.
It looks interesting but I wonder if it’s really cost effective? Or just a more expensive way of trying to keep your teenage daughter happy!
I think it’s one of those things where if you were going to buy a subscription box to treat her anyway it might be better to use this one because you get all the period kit too. It’s probably more cost effective if you want to treat her than just wanting to buy sanitary stuff I’d say.
I love these colours, very neon
This would be a really good subscription box to get my daughter
This would be a lovely treat to look forward to every month
What a fab idea xx
Looks great stuff, worth trying out
I love this, like you said, I wish there was something like this when I first started my period!
Such a fab idea!
I got this for my daughter! It’s amazing x
I get this for my daughter and the Pink Parcel for me, we love them!
sounds a great idea for my daughter
I wish they had these when I was a teen. The only thing I felt when it was due to start was dread, dread for gym class, dreading one of the immature lads getting hold of my sanitary items or worse my spare underwear and dreading my mom would find out I had started my periods as she seemed to do with every single embarassing teen moment. Thank god we didn’t have Facebook back then. I would have been a laughing stock.
Oh bless you, that sounds horrible for you!
This would be absolutely great for my daughter
I would ve loved this when I was a teen and I’d love to receive it now!. It’s a bit more than I would spend per month usually on pads/tampons though.
The set looks really useful.
Such a good pick-me-up for when you’re due on! Definitely could do with this right now!
such a great idea for a beauty box every woman needs this x
Finally a subscription box that looks awesome for gifting. These are seriously bright and funky!
It’s very cheerful, definitely perfect for the time of the month!
I love this idea
Love the bright colours makes me feel all summery!
Me too!
They box is very pretty but this might have been a bit bright and colourful for the likes of me as a teen. I was very cranky 🙂
Bless you, I think I was a bit cranky as a teen too!
I’m glad you can select which sanitary products get sent. These boxes are a very cute idea and I’m sure will help some people enormously with feeling better about their periods. Thanks for reviewing it.
An interesting idea with some nice items.
Would love one
This sounds like a good idea but I am not sure my granddaughter would take to it.
My daughter would love this
A great concept
What a great idea. Just love the bright colours and cheery packaging.
I’ll tell my nieces about these. One of them is always running out or forgetting to buy hers, this could be a god send!
Absolutely brilliant and I really wish there had been something like this when I was a teen! I’ll definitely be signing up when my daughter is in need. It’s great! Love all the extras too – so thoughtful
great idea for my daughter
I don;t need these anymore, but my daughters and granddaughters do I will tell them about this box
I can remember the old days when sanitary towels were thick and you had to use a sanitary belt or safety pins to attach them to your knickers
great idea
This looks really good for ,my daughter who is definitely going to ‘start’ soon (my husband says the sooner the better considering her moods). Do you know how much it costs?
Such lovely bright colours 🙂
This would be great for my Daughter x
What a great idea for young girls xxx
This is an interesting box – I think I saw this on Dragons Den x
what a fantastic idea
