Why is the menstrual cup ideal for active women?
Working woman, busy mom, high schooler, student, athlete, or avid traveler, the menstrual cup proves especially useful and practical for many women during their periods.
Along with washable period panties, medical-grade silicone menstrual cups are sanitary protections that offer ecological and durable alternatives to tampons and pads for a calmer menstrual cycle and more balanced, respectful feminine hygiene.
With the menstrual cup, you move with complete confidence. No fear of leaks or stains on your underwear. You can run, shop, take the kids to daycare, work, use public transport, attend classes, and almost forget you’re on your period while feeling truly comfortable in your body and skin!
🏄🏽♀️ A practical internal intimate protection
Unlike period panties, which collect and store blood in their absorbent membrane, the cup or menstrual cup is inserted into the vagina to collect blood directly. The blood is not exposed to air.
Therefore, like a tampon, it is an internal intimate protection. It doesn’t protrude and is invisible because the cup sits inside the vagina. This is an important point to highlight. Indeed, the fact that this protection is internal is very practical. No blood everywhere, no discomfort, and above all, a very pleasant feeling of freedom: you can move, bend, stretch, and do whatever you want without feeling restricted.
🏄🏽♀️ A discreet, invisible internal protection
Menstrual cups are internal sanitary protections. They are invisible and therefore completely discreet. Nothing shows, nothing sticks out: no string, no bulky pad. The menstrual cup is therefore perfect for women and girls who want no visible lines under their pants, leggings, or sports shorts.
Discreet, washable period protection
It’s not just the cup that’s super discreet! Menstrual panties are also an alternative to tampons and pads that really go unnoticed. They’re particularly thin and, thanks to their technical fabrics, they don’t bulk up and they don’t move.
If you’re looking for lingerie that’s reliable, absorbent and invisible, go for seamless menstrual panties! It’s still the best option if you’re not a big fan of menstrual cups but want both absorbency and invisibility. Discover our full collection of pretty invisible, seamless menstrual panties on our shop! You can also absolutely order one or more styles in addition to your cup so you always have a backup protection (we actually recommend it).
🏄🏽♀️ Suitable for heavy flows (even with an IUD)
The menstrual cup is a period protection that effectively holds even the heaviest menstrual flows. A blessing for sporty women and girls who experience heavy, very heavy, and particularly strong periods.
When you move your body (during sports or throughout the day), menstrual bleeding tends to flow faster. This is quite normal. The menstrual cup has a reservoir large enough to hold heavy flows (even those caused by a copper IUD).
GOOD TO KNOW:
At Louloucup, you can choose between two menstrual cup sizes, Small and Medium. For menstrual panties, don’t hesitate to check out our great range of heavy and very heavy-flow menstrual panties.
🏄🏽♀️ Zero leaks, zero odor: freedom of movement guaranteed
Whether you’re swimming, running, in a meeting, driving or traveling, this alternative to tampons is ultra-reliable. Because menstrual fluid isn’t in contact with air, no bacteria develop. No oxidation means no bad odors and no leaks. This protection fits snugly against the vaginal walls and doesn’t move once in place.
Comfortable, reliable, practical, the cup ticks all the boxes and lets us run, walk and swim with full confidence, even with a heavy flow.
"A menstrual cup can hold up to 30 ml of blood, which is 3 times more than a standard tampon."
Sport, travel, life at 100 miles an hour: the cup is the solution!
🏊♀️ Swimming: the cup, the healthy alternative to tampons
The menstrual cup is also ideal for fans of swimming. Yes, the cup is an alternative to tampons and can easily be worn and used during a swim session, but also for water polo, synchronized swimming and other water sports.
The menstrual cup collects blood effectively and is much healthier than a tampon in this situation. Because of its string, a tampon comes into contact with chlorinated pool water, which can disrupt the balance of the vaginal flora. With a cup, there’s no such risk, no problem. It provides excellent leak protection: nothing escapes, nothing seeps in.
Another option for swimming with peace of mind and keeping your intimate hygiene on point while you’re in the water? Try Louloucup’s feminine and high-performance menstrual swimsuit!

🏃♀️ Running, fitness, horse riding… No contraindications
Doing your favorite sport is not contraindicated during your period. On the contrary, it can help ease the pain. The menstrual cup is then the perfect long-lasting sanitary protection for physical activity.
Menstrual cup for sports: horseback riding, fitness, running, or swimming—the menstrual cup is suitable for all sports. No known health risks, no menstrual issues, the cup is perfect. The medical-grade silicone cup offers a highly appreciated freedom of movement that tampons and pads cannot provide.
✈️ Travel and trips: the cup, your best ally for long journeys
Flying, taking the train or bus? Got a long trip ahead? Go for the menstrual cup! This period protection, an alternative to tampons, is safe and reliable and lets you feel at ease for many hours.
- no risk of leaks,
- bad odors,
- unpleasant feelings of dampness,
- no damp, clammy feeling or discomfort.
The Louloucup: the French-made menstrual cup for everyone
🌿 Made in France, medical-grade silicone and vegan
Made in France at a fair price, firm or flexible but always soft, vegan, crafted from medical-grade silicone with a clean composition, our Loulou cup is truly designed for you: sporty women, teens, busy women, and girls who are always on the go, even during their period! It’s a washable period product, a perfect alternative to tampons, and excellent news for your intimate hygiene and your menstrual cycle.
Your intimate protection should be a true ally. To avoid saturation, leaks, and discomfort, try our cup. This period product made of silicone comes in two models, each available in two different sizes:
- the Pink, classic and more or less firm in size S or M,
- the Turquoise, soft and perfect for sensitive bladders for example, in size S or M.
For your information, the size of your menstrual cup depends on the nature of your menstrual flow.
"I bought my first cup from Louloucup and I’m thrilled. After a short adjustment period (to figure out how to insert and remove it), I feel comfortable and reassured. No leaks, it’s perfect! The cup comes with a very clear guide containing all the key information, and a small pouch so you can carry it discreetly. Between two 8-hour periods, you need a sink to clean the used cup and insert a new one, so it’s better to have two if you don’t want to use another type of period protection." Marie, won over by the Turquoise Louloucup.
😍 A healthy, clean, super reliable cup
Our menstrual cup designs adapt to your intimate anatomy and body shape while avoiding the risk of irritation and itching caused by the composition of tampons.
Our cups handle all menstrual flows, even the heaviest (just like the most absorbent tampons).
The cup is still an internal feminine protection that must be removed every six hours at most. It needs to be emptied and rinsed before being inserted again.
You can also have two menstrual cups and alternate them so you always use a clean cup. It’s important to follow these few guidelines to get the very best experience.
💰 Affordable price and sliding-scale bundles
Finally, a reminder that our Loulou cups made from medical-grade silicone are eligible for the custom sliding-scale bundle offer. The more Loulou products you add to your cart, the more you save. Period panties, menstrual cups or period swimwear—you save across the board.
The price of the Loulou cup, set at €28.90, drops to €22.90 if you add 5 products to your cart. Excellent news for a long-lasting, washable period routine that’s also affordable. You can wear the cup during the day and slip into soft organic cotton period panties at night for peaceful sleep. Perfect!
