It's small business week and we wanted to take this week on our social media accounts to tell you a little bit about us; all the reasons we get up and head to our respective desks every single day with huge smile on our faces! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Like all good things, Pixie Cup started with a dream. While backpacking across the world after graduate school, Amber English began to see a universal need for access to period products. We've all heard the stories about women and girls missing school and staying home from work because they didn’t have access to affordable period hygiene - but when you see it happening, it changes you, and that was when the seed of Pixie Cup was planted in Amber's heart.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Even in countries where period products were more accessible, there was a massive issue of excess waste. Amber returned home from her travels with a renewed vision, determined to make a difference. Together, she and her brother, Ben Moore, founded Pixie Cup with the goal of putting a menstrual cup in the hands of every woman on the planet.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Pixie Cup is a family-owned business, based out of the midwest, with a unique mission: empower others, give back, and live free. Our core motivation comes from a desire to serve women across the world, and we do that by providing affordable, waste-reducing period products to all women, and FREE menstrual cups to women in need across the world through our Buy One, Give One program. For every cup purchased, we give one cup away, completely free, to a woman in need.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

We find our inspiration from Acts 20:35: “…It is more blessed to give than to receive.” This verse is inscribed on the inside of our cups as a reminder of the Pixie Cup that was gifted to someone in need. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

When you invest in a Pixie Cup, you invest in period freedom for yourself + one.
