THE WORLD IS CHANGING

How about an alternative sanitary product that is hygenic, uncomplicated, safe, eco-friendly and cost effective?

The world is changing and so are women's views on out-dated sanitary products. Using MyOwnCup is a fresh way to be part of this change.

 

The World is turning Green

 

It is becoming a necessity, rather than a choice, to become eco-friendly. By using MyOwnCup you will personally no longer be disposing of approximately 14,000 pads or tampons that you would normally use in your lifetime.

Can you believe that 45 billion sanitary products need to be disposed of each year? These products would fill a hole 1km wide by 1km deep or span over 1666 soccer fields!

 

THE WORLD IS PROGRESSING

Although the basic design of a menstrual cup is not new, the modern materials from which MyOwnCup is made, are. This progression, in conjunction with a great design, makes MyOwnCup a real alternative to traditional pads or tampons.

 

Wellbeing

Your MyOwnCup will keep up with your busy and active lifestyle. No need to change it several times a day and it can be worn safely and effectively whilst participating in any sport. No strings attached.

 

Material

The Medical grade, non-absorbant material does not contain any silicone, proteins, PVC, latex, bleach, deodorant or absorbing gels and is therefore hypoallergenic. It is reusable for up to 5 years, easily cleaned and sterilised.

 

Health

With tampons, fibres can be left in the vagina upon removal and its absorbency can dry out the important mucous membranes. Pads create a moist environment for bacteria causing yeast infections, irritation and odour. Your MyOwnCup is more sanitary because it does not disrupt the natural lubricating ability of the vagina or interfere with the natural process of shedding mensrual blood, dead cells and bacteria.

Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS) is a rare but fatal disease cause by a particular type of bacteria that can produce toxins in the body. Menstrual TSS has been linked to the use of super-absorbants and synthetics in tampons.

 

Environment

Apart from the disposable issues of conventional sanitary products, the materials initially used to make these products come from forest that have been ravaged by large pulping companies. The large scale ripping up of trees from logging devastates the landscape, destroys wildlife habitat and destroys the ecology of the soil leading to erosion and the eventual desolation of landscapes.
