Bitchy Box Period Subscription Box Review + Coupon – August 2018 (NSFW)
Bitchy Box is a monthly period subscription box with one heck of an irreverent side. This expressive subscription box feels your time-of-the-month pain while distracting you from it via a box worth of super snarky gifts.
(FYI – the contents of the box may not be suitable for viewing at work. Just a heads up!)
Each month, subscribers get a new “angry vajayjay survival kit” that includes quirky products, snacks, and a pair of comfy undies. I was very… intrigued when I first heard about this box, so I’m excited to check it out on behalf of you, dear readers. Will it push the envelope, or shove the envelope right off a cliff? Let’s find out…
This box was sent to us at no cost for review. (Check out the review process post to learn more about how we review boxes.)

Bitchy Box “Murder in My Pants” August 2018 Review
Hooooo boy, buckle up folks! This box is not for the faint of heart… for a few reasons. Just looking at the info booklet, you can tell these gals are going full steam ahead into their wickedly brazen brand. Plus, the theme for this month is “Murder in My Pants”. Prepare for some gory goodies!
Harebrained Crime Scene Period Panties, Size Large – Estimated Value $12.99
While I couldn’t find this specific pair, other Harebrained designs go for about $12.99 each. I really like the boyshort cut of these cotton and elastane undies. They’re pretty breathable, though I will say the way the ink is printed on the fabric makes them a little stiff. (Also, if you’re someone with a booty, prepare for the print to crack in some places as the fabric stretches… Speaking from experience here.) But let’s not ignore the elephant in the room. THAT PRINT. I think it’s pretty obvious what the “crime scene” is eluding to. I’m at once impressed by how devil-may-care brazen the design is and realizing I’ve been wincing uncontrollably, brow furrowed, eyes squinting, somewhat bewildered ever since I pulled them out of the box!
10 Goodwipes Cleansing Wipes in Lavender – Buy a 30 pack for $7.99 here
These friendly little lavender-scented wipes arrived in a devilishly thematic evidence bag! I do love the idea of being able to toss a few of these individually wrapped wipes into my bag, especially if I’m out somewhere like a festival or camping or somewhere that’s not as… uh… conducive to normal period maintenance. They’re sewer and septic safe, flushable, and pH balanced for comfortable down-there care.
4 Blood Clot Gummies by Oriental Trading Company – Buy 38 for $6.99, found here for $3.27
As folks who read my snack reviews know, I’m not a big gummy fan, so, unfortunately, the appeal of these candies are lost on me. The darker side of my sense of humor does see the cleverness of having these little fruity splatter candies in the box, but well, I’m wincing again.
Parking Violation Pouch by Blue Q – Retail Value $5.99 (Found here for $2.49)
I have a real pride point that I’ve (knock on wood) never gotten a proper ticket for speeding or anything like that. But wow, have I ever racked up a bunch of parking tickets in my time. This pouch (made from recycled materials!) is the perfect match for me. It’s billed as a pencil case, but it’d also be perfect for period supplies, makeup, moola… whatever floats your boat.
They even include some Bitchy Box parking tickets that YOU can leave for other people. Living in the city, I feel like I grumble about other people’s parking on a daily basis. That said, I don’t know that I’d ever go so far as to leave a (rather blunt) note on anyone’s car. Would you?
Leather Rhinestone Wrap Bracelet by Mini in the Box – Retail Value $7.99 (Found here for $5.99)
So, per the site this listed on, the bracelet is actually imitation leather, which is cool for vegan subscribers! It’s a fun accessory that reminds me of something I’d find at a cool mall accessory store. The rhinestones have a vibrant pop to them and the material is really comfortable and soft on my wrist. You can choose from three tightnesses (there are three snap closures to choose from). I will say that my wrist is relatively small, and I was still most comfortable snapping it shut on the biggest setting. So it may be a little tight on some folks.
The Verdict: My take away from this box? I wish I was cool enough to be able to totally love all of the edgy irreverence of this box! Unfortunately, I think I might be a little too timid to feel like this is a good match for me. That said, I could probably name at least 5 people I know who would be SO into this kind of thing. Props to this subscription box for not backing down from its bold oh-you’re-uncomfortable-well-I’m-LITERALLY-PHYSICALLY-UNCOMFORTABLE vibe. Is it right for me? Nah. But you’d better believe I’ll be talking about this box for years to come.
To Wrap Up:
Can I still get this box if I sign up today?: No. They typically ship mid-month. However, if there are extra boxes, they may go up for sale as individual purchases on the Bitchy Box site shop.
LIMITED TIME DEAL: Now through 10/14, new subscribers, use code REDAFTERLABORDAY20 to save 20% OFF a 3-month Bitchy Bundle
Value Breakdown: Individual boxes are typically priced at $20.00 but cost $5.00 to ship. However, a 3-month subscription (the minimum recurring subscription level you can purchase) is $66.00 + free shipping, meaning each box costs $22.00. If this box cost $22.00, that’d mean that each featured item on the info card has an average value of $4.40.

Well, what do you think? Is Bitchy Box up your alley?
This box is awesome! I would totally sub to it for sure!
I would most definitely use those cards and have left notes for people that parked incredibly rude. I saw a lovely, I swear 11 months pregnant woman put a note on some jerk’s car one day because he caused her to have to walk a very long way while he parked in a disabled parking but clearly wasn’t. I applauded her and she smiled.
Ugh, I do HATE seeing things like that. I need similar notes that I can give to teenagers who don’t let elderly folks/moms with little kids take their seats on crowded buses (my pet peeve)!!!
OMG – I NEED this sub!!! Sounds like a useful, brilliant and hilarious box. Going to the website now.
This box looks awesome. Some of the items I would wear or use but they are still awesome. If this is a period box I would suggest some tampons, pads, heat pads, or Midol something that actually helps with menstruation. What a fun box.
They need to do a menopause box😜
Oh my gosh, that would actually be awesome! I know quite a few people who would LOVE to get something like that as a gift! Great idea, Karen 🙂
It’s like Spencer’s Gifts made a box. Awful. >_<
On their website, they have 3 already premade boxes you can get for 20 each. You can even see what will come inside each one at the link in the description. The “Let’s get flowing” box for first time period box is so cute!! Anna, I think you should try another month, thinking the horror box wasn’t for you at all lol
Correction, they have way more than 3 premade boxes lol
This box is cracking me up! Laughing at “the curse” makes it a little more bearable.
I like this box too. It is getting closer to what I want in a period box.
I would love to see a TOM box with real period panties like Thinx and the underwear from the period prop website. Or even just thick cotton wine colored boy shorts. I just can’t handle pads at night, while wearing a tampon.
Or every three months you get a new period cup. Basically products from the newer ways of managing your period.
I’m in a park right now alone, it is 6:45 pm and light out, and now I have to leave because there is a weirdo watching me.
Talking about period boxe … sometimes being a woman gets exhausting. 🙂
Um, you got home okay right?
1) I hope you got out of that situation safe and sound!
2) UGH, isn’t it though????
Love your ideas, too, Leslie. I’m always curious about the new cool tools for managing your period – a box that helps introduce you to those different things could be super helpful and informative.
Thanks for your comment and please stay safe out there!!!
Hahaha I love it!!! Great box … I liked everything in it but the bitchy parking cards win it for me hands down 🤣
I think it’s a fun, cheeky box 😜
Laughed when I saw those parking notes! Such a fun and sassy box, I love it! Would have given this a try if the 20 percent coupon was offered for the 1 month. A bit cautious to try long subs with companies that are new and not to well known, as I’ve had issues before.
I love this! I would so put a card like that on someone’s car. Those gummies are gross and awesome.
This had me cracking up especially the description of the bracelet.
I am loving this, and considering subbing, especially given the current discount. I just have one gripe, working in medical care I am here to tell you that no wipes are ever flushable. Well technically you can flush them so I guess they are, but be prepared for plumbing issues.
Anna never would have thought you had a tattoo! Your profile picture is so prime and proper but you have a wild side 🙂
That looks like Marne’s arm.
Yep, that’s Marne stepping in to help with a photo of the bracelet on a wrist 🙂
Marne is prim and proper too. Just because she has a tattoo
I have a ton of tattoos and I’m super girly prim and proper without a wild bone in my body. That’s a stereotype.
Hahaha, no tattoos for me… yet! I feel like every time I catch a glimpse of one of Marne’s, I’m tempted. (Hers are SO cool!)
I had to leave for summer vacay before I could nab a pic wearing the bracelet, so endless thanks to Marne for being my stunt-wrist. “Understudy wrist”? “Substitute wrist”? The point is, thank you for your wrist, Marne. (Wow, does the word “wrist” ever get weird once you say it a bunch of times, haha!)
oh, I love this! nice to see they are size inclusive with the underwear, and the theme is so up my alley as a fan of all things horror and gore. I might need to subscribe…
I think this box is pretty funny and actually stays true to what it’s claimed to be. Definitely not misleading like the Slut box that turned out to be yet another beauty box. 😜
Yeah I’ve been planning to sub to this box it’s right up my alley.
The undies are actually super comfortable and not stiff at all after a wash and couple wears they soften up to be awesome. I have several pair from Harebrained and they are great, they also have adorable baby onesies. (I am just a fan of the underwear, haven’t subscribed to the box).
WHAT
WHAT
Right!!!
