Mooncup

Moon Cup is a British brand born in 2002 following a secret revealed by word of mouth. It all starts in 1999 when one cyclist reveals to another, Eileen, his secret of using a reusable menstrual cup (or menstrual cup) . Made of rigid rubber, this menstrual cup was difficult to insert and was therefore reserved for the most adventurous.

After this revelation, Eileen (the second cyclist) meets Su, a woman who travels Australia with her husband, daughter, a bucket and a pile of washable diapers . Eileen then shares her secret of the menstrual cup with Su by extolling the environmental benefits of this practical alternative.

Su, enchanted by the revolution that is the menstrual cup , befriends Eileen and on his return to the UK starts the project and starts selling - to his friends and girlfriends - a cup menstrual rubber. She realizes then that the product meets a success and that it is not the only one to have waited a long time for this alternative to polluting and inconvenient hygienic protections .

Only rubber causes discomfort and allergies (latex). Entrepreneur girl, Su undertakes to change the rubber for a better material. After much research, she finds a hypoallergenic material : a medical grade silicone .

Thus, in 2002, Moon Cup is the first brand of reusable silicone menstrual cups .

The Moon Cup brand is marketed to date in more than 50 countries and Moon Cup Ltd, has become a company owned by its employees. It consists of a dedicated team and continues to grow. The menstrual cup is not a secret or a taboo, one million women are freed buffers and some ecological and economic sanitary napkins.

The Moon Cup brand has the value of making women's rules more positive, healthier and greener . The brand clearly disrupts the habits and form that women start gradually - by word-of-mouth - to take the choice of a menstrual cup during menstruation. By offering menstrual cups , Su and her team promote the health of users by making them aware that their bodies are at the mercy of the toxins , bleaches and dyes found in disposable protections .
