Bitchy Box is a new subscription box that delivers goods to help “brighten any woman’s darkest week of the month”.
Unlike most “time of the month” boxes that send you actual menstrual supplies, Bitchy Box takes a different approach by including FUN things that’ll make your period more bearable. You can expect to receive items such as sweet and/or salty treats, handmade beauty items, accessories, themed jewelry, and more. I should note that the website includes a disclaimer stating that this subscription box is not PC and if you’re offended by “dirty words” they might not be the subscription box for you. So this may not be the best choice to buy your pre-teen, but period vets (such as myself) who are able to curse freely will certainly enjoy it. 😉 [read more…]
