It happens every month, for half of the planet... yet it's taken this long for someone to make a subscription service for it.
I couldn't speculate as to the reason why- I'd be interested to hear if anyone has tried to do something similar and come up against investors who don't "get it", or anything like that.
Many women have regular cycles but not every woman does. For those women, it can be a surprise as to when and how long they are going to get their period.
That said, this service wouldn't be for those who are surprised by their period, on the contrary, it is for women who know when, how long and how "bad" (for lack of a better word) their period is and it is regular. At first I was skeptical but I could definitely see a market for this. It is easy and cheaper to buy tampons at the store but it trades time for a little extra expense. If I was a woman I would probably do this as I value my time more than a few extra dollars a month and it is a set it once and forget it.
On a random side note, this is one service that would be quite awkward to get if you lived in an apartment and then forgot to update your mailing address.

Do you not buy groceries? I don't see how the 30 seconds of time saved by not adding that one item to your shopping cart justifies the cost. Do you have a separate subscription service for every grocery item?
