We want to ensure that less waste is produced and are focusing therefore on plastic. Menstrual products generate 590,000 tons of plastic waste every year in the EU alone. By using a reusable menstrual cup, 99% of this waste could be prevented. Our goal is for more menstruators to use the cup instead of conventional disposable products, making the world a more sustainable place.

99% of the waste generated by menstrual products could be prevented by using a menstrual cup.
