What’s the story behind our Made in France menstrual cup?

🇫🇷 Want to learn more about our Made in France menstrual cup? You’re in the right place.

First of all, what is a period cup? What’s a menstrual cup? It’s an internal hygiene product that’s inserted into the vagina. This small, bell-shaped silicone cup collects menstrual blood.

Our Loulou menstrual cup, made in France, is a healthy alternative to tampons and pads. It’s also eco-friendly and economical. Discover our intimate feminine revolution by Loulou: an amazing cup available in two styles.

Let’s take a step back in time to learn about the history of the menstrual cup. The first models were patented and sold in the 1930s in the United States, thanks to American actress Leona W. Chalmers.

However, they didn’t catch on right away. Women were pretty hesitant to use washable internal protection. It wasn’t until the 2000s that this new feminine hygiene product really took off, thanks to a collective shift in awareness.

After the scandal over the ingredients in tampons and pads, women started looking for new alternatives. Chlorine, pesticides, petrochemical by-products—the ingredients in tampons are chilling!

To avoid irritation, poisoning, and other health risks, new brands have emerged to offer young girls and women healthier, safer products with completely transparent ingredients that respect their bodies. Suddenly, the menstrual cup—ignored for decades—became interesting again.

Louloucup was born. From the beginning, our deep goal was to offer healthy, local, durable, and responsible products at the best price, for periods that are finally stress-free and simple. No hassle.

We needed to create a French-made, healthy menstrual cup. Today, that’s a reality with our Loulou cup, available in two models. Its unique shape is registered and patented. Made only from medical-grade silicone, our cups are guaranteed phthalate-free, BPA-free, latex-free, and fragrance-free. They’re gentle on your vaginal flora.

The menstrual cup made in France addresses concerns about toxic substances found in tampons and pads. Its ethical, French manufacturing meets very strict standards.

Two models in two colors: the Classic Pink Cup and the Soft Turquoise Cup. Both models are available in two sizes: small and medium.

The cup is an eco-friendly intimate product that drastically reduces waste. #zerowaste Made in France, it has a low carbon footprint.

Its clean composition poses no health risks. Our cup contains no toxic substances or endocrine disruptors. It is hypoallergenic.

This is probably the most common feedback and review we get about our cups. Our cups are super soft and very easy to use and wear. They fold easily and open up to gently adhere to the vaginal walls—no discomfort!

Buying a cup is cost-effective. Durable, eco-friendly, washable, and reusable for years, you save month after month, cycle after cycle. Our cup is fairly priced at €28.90. It can be bundled with period underwear. The unit price then decreases!

As with any menstrual cup, we want to remind you of a few recommendations for safe and stress-free use:

• wash your hands thoroughly before and after insertion,
• sterilize it before use,
• follow our instructions and don’t hesitate to read our guide and menstrual cup user manual,
• Do not wear a cup for more than six consecutive hours. We do not recommend wearing a cup overnight; instead, we suggest using period panties for leak-free sleep.

This last point is important because wearing a cup too long can allow certain harmful bacteria to multiply. This is known as toxic shock syndrome. For more information: Menstrual cup and toxic shock syndrome—what’s the real danger?
