To prevent this, you would need a coated material for the box, but that reduces how environmentally friendly it is.” Another person shared, “I’m a manager for Amazon. There’s no chance this item is used. It probably shifted in transport. Amazon’s processes wouldn’t allow this. If anything, they buy from a third party that ships and fulfils their own orders. OP has no idea what they are talking about.” A third said, “Okay girl. You have experts in their fields and an Amazon manager telling you their input, and you keep arguing. I wouldn’t buy a period cup from Amazon, but rather in the store or through a business. Also, diva cups/ flexi cups/period cups are fine to buy at the store and probably cheaper.” News / Trending / ‘Amazon sent used period cup’: Redditor slammed after shocking claim goes viral.
