The cup: a revolutionary intimate protection
The period cup, just like period underwear, is revolutionizing menstruation thanks to its reusable and practical design.
- This particular internal period protection allows many women, as well as teenagers, to experience their periods more calmly, in comfort and without mental load.
- Both the cup and period underwear are also fantastic eco-friendly period products. Using them every month is a genuine act for the environment! Less plastic waste, fewer non-recyclable items in the trash.
- The cup is finally a great alternative to tampons. This internal protection is just as invisible and absorbent as a tampon while having a much safer composition. It’s an excellent choice for both health and the environment.
How to choose the best menstrual cup?
To choose the best menstrual cups, make a list of pros and cons. Some criteria are important. We’ve listed them for you.
Reviews on the menstrual cup. User reviews of cups are important. Detailed feedback can really help you choose the right model, the right shape, the right size. The many reviews and comments can also reassure you about the brand’s reliability (fast delivery, product quality, customer service, careful packaging, stock, sizing, etc.). All Louloucup reviews are authentic and can be found following each product.
Choose an organic menstrual cup. The place of manufacture and the quality of materials used to make the cup are important. We strongly recommend opting for a product made in France and certified organic. The Louloucup Turquoise cup is made in France and is medical-grade silicone.
Understand the risks of improper use of the menstrual cup. Health, risks, danger, toxic shock, misuse—you need to follow some essential recommendations for safe and confident use of the menstrual cup. That goes without saying. 🌸
Take into account the opinion of a gynecologist or midwife before using a menstrual cup. Any doubt? Always get the green light from your gynecologist or midwife before using a menstrual cup. There are many reasons to seek your healthcare professional’s advice: the shape of your uterus, wearing an IUD, after a pregnancy, etc.
The price of the menstrual cup. The menstrual cup is a long-lasting period product that you keep for years. It has a minimum lifespan of five years. It will therefore save you a lot of money on tampons and pads. Its organic material and French manufacturing explain its price. However, it still has to remain fair and affordable for as many people as possible. Our Turquoise cup is €25.90 before any discount applied with a custom bundle! A tiny price for huge menstrual freedom!
Choose the right menstrual cup size. Size is an important factor to ensure an optimal experience. Brands of washable intimate protection often offer several sizes. To choose well, you need to know the nature and intensity of your menstrual flow, but that’s not all. You also need to consider your anatomy, pelvic floor tone, and personal history (nulliparous, vaginal delivery, etc.). The Loulou Turquoise cup is available in two sizes: Medium and Small.
Buying a menstrual cup and getting informed
To make a smart purchase, it’s always best to get informed before placing your order.
Don’t hesitate to consult our complete guide to the menstrual cup to become an expert on the subject, as well as our Louloucup menstrual cup user manual.
Also feel free to look into:
- the correct position for your cup,
- how to react when your cup is full,
- or how to sterilize it.
The period cup is not a complicated menstrual product to handle or to use. You just need to get used to it. The beginning (we’re talking two to three cycles) can be a bit clumsy. Don’t lose patience, it’s really worth it.
On our blog, under the CUP tab, you’ll find many articles about menstrual cups: comparisons, reviews, user guides, care tips, and tricks to help you get the best possible experience.
DID YOU KNOW?
The menstrual cup is truly the most economical washable period protection on the market. With an initial investment of €25.90, you recoup the cost very quickly. Plus, you can keep it for 5 to 10 years without any problem.
The Loulou Cup: a French-made, patented and extremely soft cup
Are you torn between our two menstrual cup models? The Loulou Turquoise cup and the Loulou Pink cup? A quick Loulou cup comparison is in order!
Know that both the Turquoise and Pink models are made in France. Organic, vegan, and made from medical-grade silicone, fragrance-free, free from BPA and latex, our cups meet the strictest standards. The workshops where our cups are made are regularly audited.
Ultra soft, our cups are €25.90. However, the more menstrual products you add to your cart (any of them—swimsuit or panties), the more the price of each item drops! With five products of your choice, you save €30, which is the price of a pair of panties!
The Turquoise Louloucup
The Louloucup Turquoise menstrual cup is softer than standard cups.
- It was designed specifically for sensitive anatomies. The Turquoise cup is therefore ideal for women or teen girls with a sensitive bladder, for example. It’s also the perfect cup for first-time users.
- This model is not too rigid, not too firm, and therefore softer, allowing it to adapt more gently to the vagina.
- This is an especially comfortable cup that, once inserted, you can’t feel at all!
- It’s easy to get used to and to handle. The Turquoise menstrual cup is ideal for young women who haven’t given birth and who have strong pelvic floor muscles.
- Available in two sizes (S or M), the Turquoise cup is suitable for light, medium, and heavy flows.
The Louloucup Pink
The Louloucup pink menstrual cup is a standard, classic model.
- A little firmer than the turquoise model, it’s still very comfortable and flexible enough for easy, gentle insertion.
- The Pink menstrual cup is a classic model and is especially suited to active women or sporty young girls.
- Available in two sizes, this cup is suitable for all flows. Women with a medium to heavy flow will prefer the medium size, while those with a light to medium flow can opt for the small size.
GOOD TO KNOW
The menstrual cup works perfectly alongside a menstrual swimsuit and period underwear. These three washable menstrual protections can be combined for even more absorbency and comfort.
If you love wearing a menstrual cup during the day, we recommend switching to period underwear at night. It’s more secure and comfortable. At Louloucup, you’ll find a wide range of heavy-flow period panties so you can sleep through the night without leaks.
For swimming, at the beach or in the pool, you can absolutely wear a cup plus a menstrual swimsuit if you’re worried about leaks.

FAQ – Best menstrual cups
Do you need a period swimsuit as well as a menstrual cup to go swimming at the pool or the beach?
Not necessarily. If your period is light to medium, a period swimsuit is more than enough. However, if your flow is heavy or very heavy, you can pair your period swimsuit with a menstrual cup so you can really relax and not worry about a thing!
I’m a virgin. Is a menstrual cup recommended?
Yes, you can use a menstrual cup even if you’re a virgin. There’s absolutely no problem. Take your time trying it and wear it at home at first so you can get used to it.
I have a heavy flow. What do you recommend?
If you have a heavy flow, a menstrual cup is really well suited for you! You can wear it during the day (don’t forget to empty and rinse it every 4 hours). In the evening and at night, we recommend switching your cup for period underwear designed for heavy or very heavy flow (Louloucup has a beautiful collection of heavy-flow period panties) so you can be super comfortable and enjoy a soft, worry-free night.
