It happens every month: Our "friend" visits — and we're fresh out of tampons.
So, we're left using the toilet paper trick until we can get to the store for a box, or we make our boyfriends head to the store.
Très annoying.
Not anymore, though. Le Parcel has set out to change all that by offering a monthly tampon-delivery service, à la monthly beauty services like Julep and Birchbox.
And we're not the only people excited about it.
"BEST IDEA EVERRRR!!!!" one happy customer wrote on Twitter.
"How do I sign up?! I need this for next month," wrote another.
Here's how it works:
- You pick out up to 30 tampons and panty liners from brands like Kotex, Tampax and Playtex.
- Pay $15 a month.
- Get your tampons, plus a gift and chocolate, delivered right to your door.
We like the idea behind Le Parcel: You get all your monthly "accessories" without going to the store. Plus, who doesn't like free gifts and chocolate?
Still, we can't shake just how... unnecessary it is. A box of 36 tampons doesn't typically cost more than $10, so you're paying extra to get a "free" gift, some chocolate and shipping to your door.
