My Cotton Bunny Subscription Box Arrived

The First My Cotton Bunny Box Arrived

As I stated in my previous entry I signed my daughter up for the My Cotton Bunny monthly box subscription.  I love the idea of these monthly subscription boxes.  I think, for the money, that it is a fun idea.  This monthly subcription is a "period box".  Every month you get your choice of feminine protection, but some little extras.  We are ALWAYS running out and buying tampons because we are NEVER prepared.  She doesn't tell me she is out or she using all of mine without telling me.  It goes on and on.

I signed up on Sunday, December 30th and the box arrived today Thursday, January 3rd via USPS.  I paid by setting up an automated payment through PayPal, they also accept Google Wallet.  They do not take credit cards on their website.  I did not find that to be a problem at all.  I didn't tell her about the box until it arrived today.  Her initial reaction was "this is so wierd".  She liked the extra goodies and when asked if she wanted me to cancel it she quickly stated "NO".

The box is about the size of a shoebox.  It is marked My Cotton Bunny but there is nothing on the outside of the box that states what is inside, which I think is a plus for a delivery to a college dorm.  The box was shipped priority mail.

Box

There is pretty black tissue paper in the box along with a letter thanking us for being one of the first subscribers.  Very nice letter.  The letter also asks for referrals for new clients.

Letter

Underneath the tissue paper were:  a box of Kotex U unscented tampons in Super, 18 count (that is the type of tampon that we chose during the sign-up process), a small tulle bag with two Yogi tea packets in "calming" and "moon cylce"  and a piece of Dagoba organic chocolate, also in the box was a black and white plaid scarf rolled up and tied with a piece of pink yarn.  There were also two postcards in the box.

Box Contents

The tampons were just what we ordered so no surprise there.  The little bag with the teas and chocolate was very sweet and well presented.  The scarf is very cute and versatile.  I think she will get a lot of use out of it.  The one postcard is to pass on to a friend explaining the subscription box and the other one decscribed the contents of the box.  There was a special message stating that if you upload a picture of yourself wearing the scarf that you will get something special in your next box.  

Scarf

Retail value Roughly:

Tampons:  $4.99 (average price, you can get them on sale for $3.99)

Scarf:  $15.00 (postcard inside says similiar scarves range from $10-$40

The overall presentation was very nice.  I was very pleased with not only the quickness of shipping but also the obvious care that went into the box.  I understand that this is not suppose to take place of all of your feminine protection needs, but it would be nice if there were a small box of panty liners as well.  We are definitely keeping our subscription and am looking forward to what future boxes will bring.
