Back in March'08, 'round about the same time I
helped Mom & my little brother create their Facebook accounts, I ordered a
sample pack of Instead Softcups for $2.50USD.
Ordering those
Insteads was a definite turning point in my relationship w/ my menstrual cycle. Before discovering them, I'd fought w/ the itchy bulkiness of pads, the embarrassment of having a tampon string poke out the edge of my bathing suit & the horrible cramps caused by my attempts to use a
Diva Cup, but Insteads slipped in comfortably & could be worn for hours upon hours longer than either pads or tampons. Add that to the fact that they can be worn during sex & I've been saved from a lifetime's worth of washing "period sex" towels.
Any hoo, skip ahead a few years to today, when I came across the following status update from the
Instead® Softcup™ FB page:
BLOGGERS: We have a special for you! Post a Softcup review, send us the URL, and we'll send you a 2-month supply of Softcups, and a 2-month supply of Softcups for you to give away to a lucky blog reader. Email customer.service@softcup.com for details.
Even better? In honour of my already having a lifetime supply of Insteads for myself, I'll be offering up BOTH of those two month supplies to my lucky readers. Just comment below*, letting me know why you want to try Insteads. Two weeks from now, at 12:01am EST on October 16th, I'll pull two lucky people's names out of a hat (only one entry per person, though you're all welcome to comment as often as you'd like) & announce the lucky winners!
Good luck everyone! :)
