Period Samples

A few weeks ago, on my other blog, I asked for people to find the little tins from Kotex filled with four tampon samples from the new line U by Kotex.

I was directed to Walmart’s free sampling site, by people who assumed that you got the little tin from that sample site, since it’s pictured in the offer:

Kotex offers a similar sample on their site.

Today, my samples came in. Both samples from both places, in nearly identical boxes, containing almost identical items.

In the sample from Kotex, I received two regular tampons, one pad, one liner, a booklet advertising the product, a card warning about TSS and tampon use, and a coupon at the end of the booklet. No free tin, but that was ok. Kotex didn’t promise me one on their offer.

The same from Walmart, I received ONE regular tampon, one pad, one liner, a booklet advertising the product, a card warning about TSS and tampon use, and a coupon at the end of the booklet. No free tin. WTF? The ad leads people think that they will be getting a free tin of tampons! And Walmart sent one less tampon in their free sample.

The samples are still pretty bold and bright and pretty. If I still had periods, I’d probably be one of the many women I have encountered on the web who are actually excited about getting their period just to try these out.

This was what I was really expecting:

See that? I had to join a free stuff auction site and get those. I won’t link to the site because it’s become a drama hole where people like to jump the asses of the newbies who haven’t been to a post office in several months, but that is where I found those. Yes, I opened and toyed around with some of the Super tampons because I was curious as to how they worked. I’ve saw the auctions for liners and stuff in different coloured tins. I’d love to get the complete set, including a pink and green tin. That way I could keep gum and candy in the tins and not have my husband or Matt come along and try to steal my mints and gum. *evil grin*
