POPSUGAR Must Have February 2013 Box

[martianeskimo]

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

A little bummed. The panties and the wrap are definitely not going to fit me. I guess I'll be using them as a giveaway on my blog.

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

That's a great idea! I would've done that too if I'd gotten this box. Actually seeing as I have no one to celebrate the upcoming holiday with (and sometimes I think these companies assume all big girls don't which pisses me off to no end), I don't really care about this box right now. I'll be definitely be going crazy for spoilers in March but for now, I'm zen about it.

havent got my box yet, but i am excited for it. i think theyare doing a great job picking items month after month, unfortunetly there is always negativity about whats in the box, not everyone is going to be happy but i think many people are expecting the world from this box. i have no problem with them sending items that try to cover such a wide range, and one size fits all items are fine with me, although more than anything i find it annoying to hear everyone complain about it, to say it bluntly if one cannot fit into a one size fits all item, perhaps one should look at their diet and lifestyle. it is sad that americans are growing bigger and bigger and complain about not being about to fit into clothes that encompass all average healthy adult body types.

There will always be negativity, I agree about that but please don't concern troll and generalize about all people who aren't one size fits all. I'm big and tall but I also work out 5 days a week and eat a healthy diet. However, I'm still big. If you think that telling people they should take a look at their choices is somehow going to change anything for the better, I'd have to disagree. I can't assume every skinny girl is healthy or that every fat girl isn't. I've busted my ass all my life and still get crap from people like you that think they know my life because of the way I look. So has my brother who is a football, rugby playing animal and a martial arts expert. He doesn't look it but he can definitely kick ass and most people are surprised because they assume he's just FAT. It doesn't work that way and I'd appreciate it if you stopped to think about how you can hurt people (just common courtesy) before posting generalizations.

I can't believe there are no pictures out yet! I am really excited about this box! I've been wanting to try hanky panky underwear, but I didn't want to pay that much for something I didn't know I would like. I think the only thing I am not thrilled about in this box is the book, but that's an easy gift for my MIL! /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> She loves that stuff.

I wonder if PS would let plus size subscribers exchange the thong for a plus size one. Hanky Panky makes them, I think. It wouldn't be a bad idea to contact them if you are interested in trying the product. I'm sure Hanky Panky would like more people to buy their products. 

 
Agree that we should all be supportive of one another. I know it is hard to customize these boxes for everyone, but people come in all shapes and sizes and PS said at the beginning that if they needed size info in the future they'd ask for it. Maybe it is time for them to start asking for a plus size vs average size preference when people subscribe.

I want to say this in the nicest way possible but telling someone that their lifestyle choices are the reason they don't fall into the "one size fits all" category is considered BULLYING. You should really sit back and think long and hard before you say things like that before posting it on an open forum. Technically its a "one size fits most" ....As someone who is 6' tall and wears a FF cup bra I most definitely will not be able to fit into one of the items but will be able to use the other. Your comment comes across as highly uneducated and makes me wonder why you feel the need to make other people feel less worthy of themselves. You have completely ruined this website for me

This box is definitely better than the ones we have received recently but in no way am I in love with it. I think Popsugar and I might be parting ways next month onwards.

You are 6"? That is awesome. I am 5'6", and wish I had at least a few more inches...

NOOOO don't let that ruin the website for you. 

 Don't let comments like that phase you; not worth the time or energy. 

And you are so lucky you are 6'. I'm 5'2..I'm basically a hobbit.

I agree. Woman come in all shapes and sizes since the beginning of time. And the clothing sizes of today are completely shrunk down and unrealistic. A size 8 is considered XL these days!

Don't let one person's words ruin this forum (or thread) for you.  It gives them too much power... besides, not everybody feels the same way as the poster ... who chose rather careless and inconsiderate words.  One can only hope ... they didn't think how their words might make others feel.  

****

In other words ... my BOX is in my TOWN and didn't make it in with my normal USPS (snail mail)!!!! ARGH!!!!  I had my camera all ready to go!  Is there any use wishing for it to be delivered by FEDEX?  I want my box ... boohoo hooooo.

@Kara Do not internalize any chatter that does not strengthen you.  There will always be ugliness, but you do not have to take it in. Know in your heart that you are beautiful and precious in your own distinct way.  That is the truth. 

Also, see the ratio of supportive responses compared to the not so supportive ones.

Here's the Brokedown size chart from Nordstrom's site. It looks like they skew a little small in their normal clothes, but maybe this wrap is different.

Me too, but it doesn't look like we're getting our mail today since our towns are still semi-buried from the blizzard. I always get my mail by 3:30 and I haven't seen the mailman do the boxes across the street yet. Trying not to lose hope.
