Comparison of the best menstrual cups

A firm or soft menstrual cup? A cup made in France? A medium or small cup? A pink or turquoise cup? One or two menstrual cups? A cup with or without a sterilizer? A cup for heavy flow? A cup for light flow?

It’s not easy to find your way when you want to start using reusable, durable, zero-waste, washable menstrual products!

Yet with a few tips, it’s easy to find the menstrual cup that’s perfect for you! And for that, nothing beats an in-depth menstrual cup comparison.

The cup: a revolutionary intimate protection

The period cup, just like period panties, is revolutionizing menstruation. This unique internal period protection allows many women and teens to experience their periods more calmly, with comfort and less mental load.

Both the cup and period underwear are also fantastic eco-friendly period products. Using them every month is a real gesture for the environment! Less plastic thrown away, fewer non-recyclable products in the trash.

The cup is also a great alternative to tampons. This internal protection is just as invisible and absorbent as a tampon. It’s an excellent choice for both your health and the environment.

How to choose the best menstrual cup?

To choose the best cup, make a list of the pros and cons. A few criteria can help you:

• Reviews of the menstrual cup. User reviews of cups matter. Detailed feedback can really help you choose the right model, the right shape, the right size. The many reviews and comments can also reassure you about how serious the brand is (fast delivery, product quality, customer service, careful packaging, stock, sizing, etc.).
  
  
• Choose an organic menstrual cup. Where and how the cup is made, and the quality of the materials used, are important. We strongly recommend opting for a product made in France and certified organic.
  
  
• Understand the risks of improper use of a menstrual cup. Health, risks, danger, toxic shock, misuse: you need to follow a few essential recommendations for safe, stress-free use of your cup.
  
• Always take into account the advice of a gynecologist or midwife before using a menstrual cup. Any doubts? Always get your gynecologist’s or midwife’s approval before using a menstrual cup.
  
  
• The price of a menstrual cup. A menstrual cup is a long-lasting period protection that you keep for years. It has a lifespan of at least five years. It will therefore save you buying many packs of tampons and pads. Its organic material and French manufacturing explain its price. However, it still needs to remain fair and affordable for as many people as possible.
  
  
• Choose the right menstrual cup size. Size is a key factor for an optimal experience. Brands of washable intimate protection often offer several sizes. To choose well, you need to know the nature and intensity of your menstrual flow, but not only that. You also need to consider your anatomy, pelvic floor tone and personal history (no pregnancies, vaginal birth, etc.).

The Turquoise Louloucup

The Louloucup Turquoise menstrual cup is a softer cup than standard cups. It has been designed and thought for sensitive anatomies. It's a model that's not too rigid, not too firm, and therefore softer, adapting to the vagina more gently. It's a particularly comfortable cup, which once inserted, is not felt at all!

The Turquoise cup is therefore ideal for women or young girls with a sensitive bladder, for example. It’s also the perfect cup for first-time users. It’s easy to get used to and to handle. The Turquoise menstrual cup is particularly suitable for young women who haven’t given birth and who have strong pelvic floor muscles.

Available in two sizes (S or M), the turquoise cup is suitable for light, medium, and heavy flows.

The Louloucup Pink

The Louloucup classic pink menstrual cup is a standard or classic model. A little firmer than the turquoise version, it’s still comfortable and flexible enough for easy, gentle insertion.

The Rose menstrual cup is a classic model, particularly suited to active women or sporty teens. Available in two sizes, this cup is suitable for all flows. Women with a medium to heavy flow will prefer the medium size, while those with a light to medium flow can opt for the small size.

Whether it’s pink or turquoise, soft or firm, medium or small, the Loulou cup respects your intimate area when used correctly. During and after their period, our users are delighted to find they no longer have dryness, itching or irritation.

At Louloucup, a cup costs €28.90, shipping is always free, and orders are always dispatched within 48 hours. So, are you convinced?
