Even though I have never used it, I signed up for a soap.com membership years ago. The thought of having toilet paper delivered to my door so I don’t have to deal with a roommate toilet paper purchasing stand-off EVERY FUCKING MONTH appeals to me, even though I never followed through. If I ruined 3 pairs of panties every month by gushing like a stuck pig however, I might be a little more motivated. The Period Store is an online business venture I just discovered that will mail you care packages every month containing all the must-have items to survive your visit from Aunt Flo.
The site carries pretty much any lady product you might need, from tampons and pads to things I don’t even understand like moon cups, sea sponges, herbal remedies, stain removers, and even jewelry. You can set your cycle, read their blog (called the Periodical, get it?) and even attend one of their menstruation celebration parties.
I can’t pretend to know what it’s like to menstruate, but I am quite familiar with bloody panties, and I am actually kind of disappointed I didn’t think of this idea first. If that one week every month is a particular kind of bastard that you dread more than seeing Mickey Rourke stark naked, you might consider signing up with the period store and making your monthly red streak a little less uncomf.
The attached pics are from one of their period parties, in case you want ideas or inspiration on how to plan one of your own.
