My thoughts exactly.. I hope not because although they are awesome PS doesn't know our sizes

thankfully, hanky pankys are one size fits all!

I can't post pics at this moment, but

The hanky panky panties are one size and are actually included in the box, not a coupon.  The brokedown wrap robe is also sent in one size and looks a bit small.

Gotcha.  I've barely heard of it before, so I have no clue what to expect.  Sounds interesting though!

 

[jnm9jem]

Ok, now I am really excited! Hope pictures are posted soon!!

Maybe some are one-size but they do sell sizes too.

I'm a size 16 and buy the "plus" or "XL" Hanky Pankies (not sure what they call it - basically they have that or the normal sizing).  There's a chance the regular sizes could fit me still, since the material is super stretchy and the ones I buy will probably get too big for me as they stretch out over time.  So, if you are a 14 or smaller I'd say the standard size will definitely work for you.

Sizing aside, I LOVE them!  They are truly amazing underwear and the most comfortable thong I've ever worn.

Overall sounds like a great and fun box with items that many will surely like, cannot wait for pictures /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

Woohoo!! I am loving this box already! I've tried one of the items before (the one everyone is talking about) and have been holding off on buying more JUST IN CASE they were in this box! You will be hooked after trying them out. Ahh now I really can't wait to get my box!

 

[jerricabenton7]

sounds like a well thought out valentines day box! can't wait for mine.as far as the one size fits all, i used to wear hanky pankys a few years ago and my booty definitely ain't fitting into those right now!if it is the brokedown brand wrap, that's a one size fits all too, and those usually run on the small size.hopefully we can all use it,but i doubt it.guess i need to use last months ball some more!

 I agree! Wearing one now...Been wanting to splurge and get new ones but currently out of my price range. I'm so excited though!!!!!

That's weird... they usually just leave the packages that won't fit into our box on our front porch. But just to be safe, since this is my first box, I will leave a note out on our porch and the mailbox. My box was shipped Thursday, but still says it's in Cali, so I know I won't be getting it by Valentines. 

Every month they have left it at the door under the awning. Then last month they made my husband sign for it. Thank goodness he was home! I think it's at the discretion of the carrier.

As far as the Hanky Pankys go, the website show that the normal sizing is a one size fits all for sizes 2-12. Not sure how the fit will be for any of us slightly above that range trying to avoid any type of "muffin top" situation.

With the Brokedown wrap, if it is indeed the spa wrap I'm hoping it really is a one size fits all (although the pictures on the website aren't helping my hope) or else that may be 2 items (the big items in my opinion) that some people may not be able to use.

Sizing aside I do really appreciate the picks for this month as they seem to be quality items that I would not have spent the money on to buy myself.

Bummed out by this box. I know i wont fit into the one size fits all items.

It's taken a whole new route this month so I have no idea when it will come. I live in the south suburbs of Chicago and it went to Reno and is now in Champaign, IL which is the same state! Maybe it will just come right up and not go to Wisconsin this time. That seems like it would be more efficient. But this is Smart Post we are talking about.

 

[tivoli92]

i can totally see how this box would be unappealing to some, but i'm really excited! trying to do a little price break down:

Spa Wrap: $84 https://www.brokedownclothing.com/buy-now/spa-wrap-white


Hanky Panky: $20 http://www.hankypanky.com/Rolled-Signature-Lace-Low-Rise-Thong
 
Mariebelle chocolates: i can't actually find the box, but given this website, i think it's around $20? http://www.urbanspoon.com/cities/3-new-york/restaurants/1428659-mariebelle/menu
 
Revlon just bitten stain: about $8 http://www.target.com/p/revlon-just-bitten-kissable-balm-stain/-/A-14081497?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=Google_PLA_df&LNM=%7C14081262&CPNG=Health+Beauty&kpid=14081262&LID=PA&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=14081262
 
Jewelry cleanser: $8 http://www.amazon.com/Connoisseurs-Quick-Jewelry-Cleansing-Gel/sim/B000Q9XET4/2
 
Safe Haven book: about $8 if paper back, $15 if hard cover http://www.amazon.com/Safe-Haven-Nicholas-Sparks/dp/0446547573/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1360606755&sr=1-1&keywords=safe+haven
 
so depending on a couple variations and the chocolate, the value of this box is about $150? Did I do the math wrong because that would be an incredible value!!!

Oh oh oh!  This is good news!  Did you get a shipping notice, or did you just see the tracking on your account?

(Side note:  Urgh, in my job, I work with accounts and contracts.  Contracts are kind of like sub-accounts, so you can have one account and, say, ten contracts under that account, and I typically deal with things at a contract level, not an account level.  If I ever refer to "contract" around here when anyone else would use "account," that's why.  I always start to type "contract" when I mean "account" here.  I started to do that in this post, in fact!)

ETA:  And, oh, mine, too!  No tracking email, but it's showing up when I track by reference on the FedEx site!  The part that I don't like is that it goes to Troutdale about ten miles from me, then it goes to Kent, WA, about 150 miles away, and then it comes *back* to my city for delivery.  It adds a couple of extra days to the process, and this makes me sad.

Through the fedex tracking trick. That's what mine does too, I know we all complain about the shipping, but c'mon. Off to check for spoilers.

Hehe! I am in IL too!   LOVE this BOX!!!!!!

 

[BeautifyMyLife]

Not sure how I feel about the wrap, but overall this looks like a good box to me! I'm picky about beauty products, so not sure if I'll like the Revlon item, so we'll see.

 

[Shannon28]

I'm excited to get this box. This is why I subscribe. I like to get things that are a bit of a splurge and fun, but not something I would get for myself.
