Hello, seems like a great business model. A bit curious on the price of the subscription though. I notice above it says $8/month, but how many tampons come are included with that?

Hi Chris, thanks! The $8 includes 16 certified organic cotton applicator tampons, with the selection customizable each month (a mix of regular, super, super-plus). The mix can be altered each month, as long as it is done prior to shipping. Shipping is also included in the price.

Business Insider just published a story on Lola. Can you touch on the differences between your product and there's?

Hi Benjamin, yes, of course. To begin with, Tampon Tribe retails organic tampons, pads and pantiliners. Lola has only tampons. In terms of materials, to my understanding, Lola is not "certified" organic cotton, nor are their products ICEA ethically and sustainably certified as we are. They use plastic applications, wrappers and packaging, where we use biodegradable cardboard applicators, recycled-paper and starch wrappers, and burlap packaging (we're completely plastic free - which is vital f...

Will you consider adding options at a little higher price point to include things like organic snacks, tea, bath and body products and jewelry like other period subscription boxes on the market?

We also believe in simplicity and quality, so we will be approaching partnerships to reflect this.

Will these be automatically shipped each month? Will there be a text/email reminder to adjust the order before shipping?

Hi Kevin - great question. Yes, all orders are subscription based with automatic shipping each month. We are currently integrating a customer account management system in our new website which enable customers to manage their profile, pause/adjust their orders, add value-added products, and customize their selection. They will receive an automated email prior to each months' shipment inviting them to add to/alter their order. This will be a great way to introduce new products/promotions too. ...

How many subscribers do you have already?

Hi Travis. Our Indiegogo pre-orders hit $5,888 with 120 subscribers in a month, and we have been steadily gaining more each day. Yesterday Tampon Tribe hit the #2 ranking on BuzzFeed's top subscription boxes list (yeah!) and we have received almost 100 new orders in the past 24 hours, which is great market validation for us and with PR efforts scheduled to escalate, we expect the momentum to build. Here is the article - check it out and do let me know if you have any further questions. Best r...
