A cup for the day, period underwear for the night: zero-waste menstruation

Want to stop polluting during your period? Thanks to durable, washable menstrual products (period underwear, menstrual cups and period swimwear), you can finally ditch single-use tampons and pads that can’t be recycled!

Having an ecological conscience, making a gesture for the planet while having your period, is now possible. And the good news is that it's not that complicated to adopt and use. 

Today we explain how zero-waste menstruation, like menstrual cups and menstrual panties, is truly possible, accessible, practical, and more economical. Not to mention that it's good for the planet and your health. Nothing but positives!

Being active all day, moving around, running, exercising, going to school or work with your menstrual cup is totally possible.

This small reservoir made of medical-grade silicone (zero chemicals or toxins, only medical-grade silicone) holds your period blood optimally. Placed at the entrance of the vagina, against the walls, the cup doesn’t let anything leak. Teens and adults alike can use it without any problem. 

The cup, or menstrual cup, offers a great deal of freedom of movement. It’s hygienic, practical, and comfortable. It’s especially a powerful ally for all athletes, and swimmers in particular! Yes, the cup is a perfect replacement for disposable tampons. 

Ready to get started and finally have zero-waste periods? Periods that generate zero paper, zero packaging, zero plastic? Our two cup models are made in France from 100% medical-grade silicone. 

Shipped in recycled packaging, a well‑washed and well‑cared‑for cup lasts for years! It’s therefore a super durable intimate hygiene product. A real ally during your menstrual cycle and for your health. 

Which style will you fall for?

• Loulou Rose, classic, soft and slightly firm,
• or the Turquoise Loulou, softer but just as gentle.

Our two menstrual cup models are each available in two sizes, Small and Medium. This way we can cater to all women, all body types and all sensitivities. 

In the evening, remove your cup, empty it, rinse it and let it dry. To enjoy a calm, comfortable night, we can only recommend that you switch to period underwear. Why? Because this type of period lingerie produces no waste, is durable, washable and above all extremely reliable!

There’s nothing very complicated about it. Period underwear or period panties have a super-absorbent layer sewn into the crotch. Depending on the style, this layer (often called a pad) is more or less extended. It can rise higher at the front and back of the brief.

This membrane has a high absorbency capacity without shifting or swelling. It can store menstrual blood without becoming saturated. Very often, and this is the case at Louloucup, period underwear is categorised according to the intensity of menstrual flow: light, normal, medium-heavy or very heavy.

To give you a concrete example, our very heavy-flow menstrual panties have an absorption capacity equivalent to 5 sanitary tampons. With these styles, there’s no risk of leaks!

At night you’re lying down. On your back or on your stomach, you’ll stay in the same position for a long time. The blood will tend to flow in the same direction. You need to be sure of your period protection to avoid any stains on your pajamas or on the sheets!

As mentioned earlier, we can only recommend using period panties with a very wide absorbent area to cover all bases, especially if you have heavy or very heavy periods. They’re a great alternative to sanitary pads.

Here’s a small selection of the best washable and reusable styles to get you through the night feeling calm and confident. We guarantee a super comfortable night (thanks to certified organic cotton meeting the Oeko-Tex standard), with well-cut, well-fitted period underwear:

• The Clara high-waisted period panties are perfect if you’re worried about leaks. They’re super comfortable and ultra-absorbent. This much-loved style has an absorption capacity equivalent to 5 tampons! No risk of leaks. Its high waist allows the absorbent layer to come up very high! The real bonus? Its glamorous look, of course! The price is a bit higher though, at €33.90.
  
  
• The black seamless Liv panty is perfect for anyone looking for both protection and discretion. The Liv style has no visible seams, so no one can guess what you’re wearing under your nightie. It’s very soft, organic, comfortable and extremely absorbent.
  
  
• The blue Lily period brief is perfect for anyone with lighter periods (medium or light menstrual flow). This organic model is also ideal at the end of your period when your flow is light. With a shorty-style cut and a high waist, Lily is especially great at night thanks to its extended absorbent zone that covers almost the entire brief. It offers unmatched comfort.

Guaranteed odour-free, leak-free and without any feeling of dampness, thanks in particular to organic cotton certified to the Oeko-Tex Standard. This natural fabric offers ultimate comfort.
