What do you say when you're talking about menstrual cups? Since the subject can sometimes get awkward, we made you a little cheat sheet. ;) Menstrual cups are eco-friendly. Menstrual cups save nearly 250 tampons (and plastic applicators) from entering the landfills, per woman, per year! They are healthier. Tampons are linked to Toxic Shock Syndrome (TSS). This is no mystery. Recently, however, tampons have been the discussion of vaginal flora and disturbing the pH balance in the vagina. Menstrual cups do not soak up anything, they just collect. So this doesn’t mess up your vaginal balance. Menstrual cups save you money. A typical box of tampons is $7, and that’s not even the really nice, organic ones. In two months' time your Pixie Cup will have nearly paid for itself. They are convenient. Menstrual cups can be safely left in the vagina for up to 12 hours. Nobody wants to carry tampons or pads around anymore. Here at Pixie Cup, we absolutely want you to talk about your period! We believe in period freedom for all women. Our company was founded on that very fact. This is the breath and backbone of everything we do here and with our Buy One, Give One program we do just that. Every time a Pixie Cup is purchased, we donate one to a woman in need. So really, you not only changed your life, but you changed someone else’s too. How’s that for a fact? How did you break the ice with your boyfriend, girlfriend, BFF or coworker?
