yeah thats a fair point... im trying to aim it at a teen audience as its a lot more affordable, but also my USP is like a good, wide variety of this which i know that a lot of sub boxes dont have that many products in... what would attract you as a USP?

Bath crystals/bath bombs—it’s nice to have a bath on your period

oooh.. ok! That's so unusual because i didn't realise people have baths on their period.. i always have showers. This is a great idea, thanks!

Hi! I'm hoping to start a business focusing on subscription boxes for girls on their periods and I really just want to ask girls what they want on their periods just to make that time of the month a lil easier. Some of the products so far include: infused tea, packet instant warmers, candle, etc...

What other things do you guys wish you have on your periods? Thank you so much if any of you do reply as this is a massive help to me!

Chocolate, those spongy/fluffy socks, those pocket warmers but they could be used for stomach cramps maybe? (Hot water bottle would probably be too big?) This is a cool idea.

You could also have a pay-it-forward option, so you could also provide some to homeless/women's shelters

wow, thats a brilliant idea and id be more than happy doing it. Currently the packaging is eco-friendly and that could entice people but yours is a great idea. Thank you so much!

I would say to do something personalised, some girls use tampons whereas others use pads, so it’s no good getting both of you only use one. Having a personalised option allows for it to be more tailored to u also it makes the money worth while which will coincide with the more affordable vibe you are going with

A nice fragrance mist, or infused oils

A personalised option so people can pick and choose 8 or so items they want in their box, as some people may not want some items and want others instead.

this is a brilliant idea!! but please remember that if you want to not exclude people, some trans and nb people still get periods. just avoid marketing it as "boxes for WOMEN" etc.
just avoid saying "for women" - you could market it as just period boxes instead

I feel like you need to consider your USP more. I have seen sooo many different period subscription boxes which cover many of the things mentioned. Most I know of include items of food, tea bags, personal hygiene products etc.
Have you done some market research and looked at competition?
