Join the #LilyCupsForFilipinas Revolution now

According to the book Flow: The Cultural History of Menstruation, the average woman throws away 250 to 300 pounds of “pads, plugs, and applicators” in her lifetime. Sanitary napkins or pads are the mainstream menstrual care option in the Philippines. So not only are we allowing ourselves to sit in a pool of icky, smelly blood; we are also contributing to the billions of menstrual waste in our landfills.

Enter the menstrual cup.



Intimina’s menstrual cups are made of 100% FDA-registered medical-grade silicone so it’s safe and reusable — an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to sanitary napkins and tampons. Because menstrual cups collect rather than absorb blood, you’re not at risk of getting toxic shock syndrome (TSS), a bacterial infection associated with tampon use. It also won’t cause rashes or irritation, something that is commonly experienced by sanitary napkin users. Lily Cups are also soft and thin; you’ll forget that you’re even having a period.

Not convinced? Read the stories of these women who chose have total freedom even during period.
