The Menstrual Cup
The menstrual cup has recently surged in popularity even though it has been in existence since the early 20th century. Menstrual cups are a more economic and environmentally sustainable method for practicing period care because one period cup can last up to ten years. When compared to single-use period care products, period cups significantly cut down on both waste and overall lifetime costs.
Despite this, many menstruators are still hesitant to make the switch. Let's find out why.
The Current Menstrual Cup Experience
The current menstrual cup experience can be a messy daunting process, especially when done in public bathrooms. Once you’ve removed your menstrual cup in a stall, you have to find a way to clean it before reinsertion. The first thought is to use what's right in the stall: toilet paper. The problem is toilet paper can break down when brought into contact with moisture on your cup and carry bacteria from fecal matter that can transfer from your cup into your body, potentially causing harmful conditions such as toxic shock syndrome and bacterial vaginosis.
Getting up from the stall is no better. If you choose to clean your menstrual cup at the sink, you risk staining your clothes, having to get back in a long line for a stall, or experiencing undue stigma from others at the sink. Even once clean, a slippery cup can end up dropped on the dirty bathroom floor. Are you sure it’s safe to reinsert with just a scrub at the sink?
That’s where the FLOW comes in.
The FLOW is the first product capable of both cleaning and sanitizing menstrual cups; clean meaning rid the cup’s surface of blood, tissue, and physical remnants of the period cycle, and sanitize meaning rid the cup of bacteria, viruses, etc. A portable and discrete menstrual cup cleaner addresses common cup concerns and hence empowers menstruators to switch to menstrual cups, building more environmentally and financially sustainable habits without sacrificing hygiene.
