Aunt Flow's FAQs
Are You Serious?
Yes! Some people call our products Gag Gifts but the fact is they are fully functional and very unique. Every one is hand-made and one of a kind. Our CarPons are scented to your choice (for a list of currently available scents click here) and our CatPon toys are filled with only the best catnip and rugged enough to withstand your kitty's worst punishment.
Who manufactures your products?
"Aunt Flow" is actually a small, home-based business with three employees: Myself, my wonderful girlfriend and her Grandmother (who, by the way, is 80 years young and thinks making these is a blast!). We make them here in the lovely little State of Connecticut.
How long do the scents last?
About a month. It depends a lot on temp and humidity, but in general around 30 days. We use a fragrance "booster" which maximizes "air time". Higher heat and higher humidity shorten the lifespan of CarPons.
Is Aunt Flow a real person?
No, "Aunt Flow" is just a fictitious name and any time you see it referred to here it's actually referring to me, this company and this website.
Tell me about the scents you use!
We use only high quality scented oils. These scents are normally a bit "diluted" for use in candlemaking but we use a fragrance "booster" to give the scents a bit more kick. Normally candle-making scented oils are mixed in with the wax and won't evaporate since they are trapped in the wax. Since our Carpons are exposed to air, the fragramce booster makes the scents smell good for a much longer time. Please note that since the scents we use are oil-based you should not let them come in contact with anything that might get stained or ruined, like painted walls, furniture, clothing, food, etc. Read our disclaimer at the bottom of this page as well.
