- Alright, Cora video take one.
(clap)
Hey everyone, it's me Hallease,
back with another video in the clue voices series.
I wanted to get on and talk to you about Cora,
a tampon company that is available
via subscription and in Target.
They approached me a few months back
to review their tampons for them.
And I was really excited to do that
because I wanted to present another option to you.
As you all know, I use a combination of menstrual cups
and period panties to monitor my cycle when it starts,
but I know for a lot of you,
that is something that you're not really into
and you know it might not be your bag.
So I think this is another great alternative for you
if you are so inclined to be in the tampon family
but want to switch up maybe the brands that you use.
I was essentially given
their first month subscription package.
It consists of a package of tampons,
a combination of super size tampons,
and their regular size tampons.
I was also given their little black box
that basically sits in your vanity
or your bathroom as a way for you to store said tampons.
I was also given their little black clutch,
as a way for, again, you to store your tampons
when you're out and about during the day.
So you can fill this up with
the tampons you think you'll need for the day.
This is faux leather, so if you vegan,
you can still bounce with this,
it's faux leather, you good.
And they also gave me a lot of stowaways.
And these are meant to be just one off tampons,
that you can keep, again,
keep in your purse or your back pack.
If a friend needs a tampon, maybe they're running low.
Or you know, as many of us know
usually if you're not on any type
of hormonal birth control,
while you can more or less know when your period
is going to begin,
we all get surprised every now and then.
So, a little quick stowaway is great as well.
So overall, I actually really enjoyed this product.
It's been two or three years actually
since I've used tampons,
so there was actually a bit of a learning curve
for me that was comical.
You know, I kind of forgot how to use tampons a little bit.
But yeah, it's a really great product.
I really love how sleek and sophisticated
their overall design is.
The design is very monochromatic, which I really like.
It's a combination of blacks, whites, grays,
and the overall design of the tampons too,
and the packaging is really cool.
Something that I find really fascinating
about their tampon design which I really like,
is how compact they've made their tampons.
So when you open one of the tampons,
the applicator is compacted into the tampon itself.
To have the applicator work correctly,
you then pull down the insertion and then push back up.
So that's really cool because it saves on space.
From what I remember from tampons,
they were significantly longer.
With this innovation and design,
it makes them a lot more compact
and easy to travel with, et cetera.
I'm going to keep all of the stowaways
to put in my purse, in my backpacks, et cetera.
And in my suitcases because once again,
while I'm usually pretty good about monitoring my cycle,
using my Clue app,
and knowing more or less when it's going to start,
accidents do happen and sometimes I won't have
my menstrual cup with me.
So these are a really great alternative
to just having something around in case
you know, nature calls.
I also like how it's subscription based.
If you go to the Cora website
you can build a subscription model for yourself.
They will mail you three months worth of supplies at a time.
You answer a few questions for them based on
how many tampons you usually use during a cycle,
and how many of them do you want to be super,
how many of them you want to be regular, et cetera.
And then they will build a package for you.
Which is really cool if you're the type of person
that once again, isn't really good about making sure
you have everything you need when you need it, et cetera,
or if you're the type of person that
is a little self-conscious or a little shy about
going to a conventional brick and mortar store
to purchase your sanitary products.
This can be a great alternative for you,
with the subscription based service.
And it's relatively affordable.
Seven to 18 dollars a month
depending on how intense your package is.
But they are also available now in Target.
So that's cool too, if you are still the type of person
where you don't mind going into a store,
you can buy their product.
The last thing about Cora that I really appreciate
about them is that they're a company with a conscience.
So for every box of their products that you buy,
they donate a box of tampons
to a girl in need in India.
It can be hard for young girls once they start their cycles
to have access to sanitary products regularly.
So much so that a lot of times they will need
to drop out of school, or miss five or six days a month
from school every time their cycle begins.
So, this is empowering women,
empowering young girls,
to be able to continue their education,
and I'm down for that.
You know, I'm here for that.
So if you're the type of person that likes to
purchase with a conscience,
definitely check out Cora for that as well.
So Cora has been kind enough to offer me
a subscription code to pass on to y'all.
It is 20 percent off
your first subscription purchase with them.
Go ahead and use it, it will be available I believe
through January 23 of 2017.
Also, thanks for sticking around to the end of this video.
In the spirit of trying to pay it forward
in the year 2017, I will be giving away
this package of products that I received from Cora
to one of you.
So, if you head over to my Facebook,
do I want to do this on Facebook
or do I want to do this on Twitter?
Let's do Facebook.
So if you head over to my Facebook page,
and head over to the teaser that I made
to promote this video,
comment on it with something.
Anything.
And that is how you will be entered
in to win this set of free tampon products from Cora.
So yeah, that's me, I'll see you when I see you.
Feel free to follow me on social media
if the spirit moves you.
I try to push out new videos every Monday at noon
but don't quote me on that, I'm in these streets,
I'm trying to live my life, I'm trying to be somebody.
Above all things I will see you when I see you.
