Menstrual cups and an active lifestyle: move with confidence
Whether you’re a working woman, busy mom, high schooler, student, athlete, or frequent traveler, the menstrual cup is especially convenient and practical for many women during their periods.
Together with period underwear, the silicone cup is a hygienic option that offers alternatives to tampons and pads for a calmer, more balanced, and respectful menstrual cycle.
This washable, reusable period product is zero-waste, healthy, and offers great freedom of movement during your period.
With the menstrual cup, you can move with confidence. No worries about leaks or stains on your clothes. You can run, shop, take the kids to daycare, work, ride public transport, go to class—all while forgetting about your period and feeling truly comfortable in your own skin!
The menstrual cup: a practical internal period protection
Unlike the period panties that collect and store blood in their absorbent layer, the cup or menstrual cup is inserted into the vagina to collect blood directly. The blood isn’t exposed to air.
So, like a tampon, it’s an internal period product. It doesn’t stick out, and is invisible since the cup goes inside the vagina. This is a key point. Having an internal product is really convenient—no blood everywhere, no discomfort, and above all, a wonderful sense of freedom: you can move around and do whatever you want without feeling restricted.
Menstrual cup: invisible and discreet
Because this hygienic protection is internal, it’s invisible and super discreet. Nothing shows, nothing sticks out: no string, no bulky pad. The menstrual cup is perfect for women and girls who don’t want any lines under their pants, leggings, or sports shorts.
Heavy periods and cups
The menstrual cup is a period product that effectively holds even the heaviest menstrual flows. It’s a blessing for women and girls who experience heavy, very heavy, or especially strong periods.
When you move your body (during sports or throughout the day), menstrual bleeding tends to flow more quickly. That’s completely normal. The menstrual cup (see, menstrual cup size) has a reservoir large enough to hold heavy flows (even those caused by a copper IUD).
Move confidently with a menstrual cup for an active day
For working women or high schoolers, menstrual cups are easy-to-insert hygiene products. They can be worn for several hours without shifting, leaking, or causing discomfort.
Flying, taking the train, or the bus? Got a long trip ahead? Go for the menstrual cup! This period protection, an alternative to tampons, is safe and reliable, letting you relax for hours. No risk of leaks, bad odors, uncomfortable dampness, or chafing.
Playing your favorite sport isn’t off-limits during your period. In fact, it can help relieve cramps. The menstrual cup is the perfect sustainable period and hygiene protection for physical activity.
Cup and sports: no contraindications
Horseback riding, fitness, running, or swimming—the menstrual cup is suitable for all sports. There are no known health risks, no menstrual problems—the cup is perfect. The medical-grade silicone cup offers a freedom of movement that tampons and pads simply can’t provide.
Spotlight: the menstrual cup and swimming
The menstrual cup is also ideal for swimming enthusiasts. Yes, the cup is an alternative to tampons and can be worn and used during swimming sessions as well as water polo, synchronized swimming, and other water sports.
The menstrual cup collects blood efficiently and is much healthier than a tampon in this situation. With its string, a tampon comes into contact with chlorinated pool water and can disrupt the vaginal flora. With the cup, there’s no risk, no problem. It provides excellent leak protection—nothing gets out, nothing gets in.
