This isn't a freebie, it's a subscription
box of samples. They have lots of different versions, some more tailored to your pregnancy than others or with specific trends in mind. I chose the cheapest box which is $30 for 3 months($10/box). The boxes come packaged very prettily, but my overall review is that they aren't worth it. You get so many
free or nearly free samples while pregnant, and for $10/box most of these don't meet the value. There was 1 box that seemed maybe worth the $10 and it still wasn't awesome. Furthermore, while the packaging is adorable, you'll see in the photos below that in every single box, i easily fit the ENTIRE contents into the included pillowbox with 1 bigger item per box. The quality of these boxes does not convince me to give the more expensive versions a try.
Box #1
|
Bottom Left: How it arrives at your door
Bottom Right: Prettily packaged
Top Left: Removing index cards and large packaging, I fit this entire Bump Box into the pillow box that had 2 samples
Top Right: Box included samples of belly oil, belly butter, moisturizer, lubricant :eyebrow wiggle:, 5 days of pre-natal vitamins, a preggie pop, heartburn tea, morning sickness tea, and a silicone bump box logo sticker pocket for your phone to hold credit cards- which is not something that i can use on my phone even if i didn't mind the logo. It also comes with a 20% off for purchasing full sizes of any of the sample you like.
Overall, it's a cute box for while your pregnant, but barely worth $10. I'm glad I didn't choose one of the more expensive boxes as an indulgence. Most of the samples in this box, I've already gotten to try for free without a $10 box, as the top left photo of the entire contents of the box inside a pillow box does add perspective. Walmart's box had more samples in bigger sizes for the $5 shipping charge.
Would I recommend Bump Box? No. The "cooler" boxes from them range $39.99-$48.99, and even with full size products in them don't look worth the price.

Box #2
I mentioned above that this is a subscription box of 3 boxes @ $10 each. This is the 2nd box i received:
|
On the right is what it looks like when you open it. On the left is without out the paper junk. This box had a lactation cookie (which i don't need yet), washable bamboo nursing pads (shaped like hearts), and samples of: earth mama milk tea, bamboobies nipple cream, babyganics laundry detergent, and belly cream. All of the samples (4) fit inside the pillow box. This is probably the best value box I received out of all 3 since bamboobies are $15 for a 2 pack or $25 for a 3pack (~$8/pair). You do eek out your monies worth on this one. Again, there's a total of 6 items in this box for $10 and personally, I don't recommend it. still say your money is better spent on a cool onesie or pack of bottles. I have one more of these to go yet, and will post its contents when it arrives |
Update September 25th
Box #3
|
This is probably the lousiest of the 3 boxes I received. It has 6 foil pouch samples and a 2 day prenatal vitamin sample. It came in the same pretty pink packaging as the others, but i didn't photograph it the day it came- i just put all the samples in the pillow box and set them aside to photograph later. |
