As a dedicated LadyCup menstrual cup user, let me share why I made the switch.
In France alone, millions of women menstruate monthly, generating massive waste: over 2,000,000,000 tampons and pads discarded yearly.
This translates to billions in spending on disposable products. Seeking a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative, I turned to the LadyCup.
A friend's enthusiastic recommendation got me started—she couldn't stop raving about hers.
Insertion is similar to a tampon (allow some practice initially). It collects menstrual flow securely. Empty it several times a day, rinse with water, and reinsert. That's it! (Tip: Sterilize monthly before each cycle.)
With a 15-year lifespan, it's a one-time investment—no more constant tampon or pad purchases.
Made from body-safe materials like natural rubber or medical-grade silicone, the LadyCup is free from harmful chemicals that can disrupt vaginal health, unlike many disposables.
Its durability slashes waste and costs, keeping thousands of pads and tampons out of landfills.

Tampons and pads cost about €108 annually on average. The LadyCup? Under €10! It pays for itself in just 3 months, saving me €108 yearly—perfect for treating myself to new lingerie.
