For many menstruators, period products can be hard to access - if at all.
That’s why for each cup you buy from us two menstrual cups are donated. Because, together, we have the power to say goodbye to period poverty. Period.

All too often, we talk about poverty as though it’s something that happens somewhere far away. But #PeriodPoverty is happening right here in the UK too:

For every cup bought from us TWO are given away.
Your purchase will not only save you money and reduce your plastic use, it will also benefit two people facing #PeriodPoverty in East Africa or UK. Why not get involved?

Great news... @ZARA has announced all its clothing will be made using sustainable fabrics by 2025.
The fast fashion industry is one of the biggest contributors to climate change, and we hope that other high street chains follow suit!

Many people will look at a menstrual cup & have just one question “how do I get that up there?!”. Don’t worry, we’ve been there. A cup is surprisingly comfortable, meaning you can rest easy and go about your day just as you were.

Your period is political! Like feminism, menstrual equity, has the same fundamental beliefs; people who menstruate shouldn’t be held back by their bodies. Here are five reasons your feminist activism should include menstrual equality: thecupeffect.org/2019/07/10/…

Why do you think it’s still such a cultural taboo to talk about periods?
We’d love to hear your stories of starting new conversations to open up the #PeriodTalk!

New to menstrual cups? We know that using your cup for the first time can feel a little daunting - but it doesn’t have to!
Tip: When removing and emptying your cup in a public bathroom, you can use a water bottle to rinse it out over the toilet.

Reducing your plastic use? It can be surprisingly hard...we use more plastic than we think!

Today is #Pride in London, and we’re taking a moment to reflect on the campaigners, pioneers and advocates who have gotten us to this point in our journey to equality for all people who identify as LGBTQ .
May this community keep on growing stronger.

Right now, around 800 million women and girls are on their period. And a large proportion of those women are living in period poverty.
Let's change that:

Did you know that girls sometimes miss up to 20% of the school year due to lack of access to effective menstrual products?
That’s why we exist - so that no one has to be held back by their periods anymore.
