The Lunette menstrual cup
The Lunette menstrual cup is an innovative menstruation barrier made in Finland. It is an easy-to-use, safe and sanitary alternative to disposable sanitary napkins and tampons.
By using the menstrual cup you protect the environment, save money and can enjoy peace of mind.
The menstrual cup was invented in the late 1930's as a form of internal feminine protection. The lunette has used the latest technology in materials and design to bring you a truly modern version of this old concept! Women can now live life during their periods in freedom instead of being restricted by strings and wings! Don't you agree it's about time we women had a period solution designed for our busy lifestyles today?
A liberating alternative to pads and tampons!
What is it?
A 100% medical grade silicon cup used internally as an alternative to disposable tampons and sanitary napkins. It can be left internally for up to 12 hours, then is simply removed, emptied, wiped clean and re-used.
The lunette can be used by all women; before first sexual intercourse and also with an IUD and contraceptive ring.

There are a number of different ways to fold a menstrual cup ready for insertion. See some photos of the folds here.
Why should I use it?
EASY
The lunette is so easy to use and an unnoticable menstrual barrier. It does not disrupt the natural lubricating ability of the vagina, does not interfere with its natural process of discharging along with the menstrual blood, dead cells and bacteria; nor dies it dry the vaginal mucous membrane. That is why it is a more santitary alternative to the disposable tampons and sanitary towels.
SAFE
The lunette is hypo-allergic, latex-free and odourless. No outbreaks of vaginal candidiasis, cystitis or toxic shock syndrome have been linked to the use of menstrual cups.
ECONOMIC
The lunette is economic. When used with care, one lunette cup lasts for 5 to 10 years.
ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY
The lunette does not need replacing for years and during its term of service there is no waste to dispose of.
SUITABLE
The lunette can be worn at any time in your menstrual cycle, your heaviest and and your lightest flow and at night. It can be worn during intensive sports such as swimming, running, riding a bike or a horse.
INNOVATIVE
The lining of lunette is smooth, so that cleaning is extremely easy. Because the tab of the lunette menstrual cup is flat it does not collect bacteria. You can sterilise the cup by boiling it in a large amount of water for 2 to 5 minutes.
