The cup: a revolutionary intimate protection

The menstrual cup, like period underwear, is revolutionizing periods. This unique internal period protection allows many women and teens to experience their periods more comfortably, with peace of mind and less mental load.

Both menstrual cups and period underwear are fantastic eco-friendly period products. Using them every month is a real step for the environment! Less plastic waste, fewer non-recyclable items 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 a great choice for both your health and the environment.

How to choose the best menstrual cup?

To pick the best cup, make a list of the pros and cons. Certain factors can help you decide:

  • Reviews on the menstrual cup. Feedback from cup users is important. Detailed reviews can really help you pick the right model, shape, and size. The many reviews and comments can also reassure you about the brand’s reliability (fast shipping, product quality, customer service, careful packaging, stock, sizing, etc.).
  • Opt for an organic menstrual cup. Where it’s made and the quality of the materials used are important. We highly recommend choosing a product made in France and certified organic.

  • Understanding the risks of improper menstrual cup use. Health, risks, dangers, toxic shock, misuse—be sure to follow some essential recommendations for safe and worry-free cup use.
  • Consult a gynecologist’s opinion or a midwife before using a menstrual cup. Not sure? 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 sanitary protection that you can keep for years. It lasts at least five years. That means you’ll save on countless packs of tampons and pads. Its organic material and French manufacturing explain the price. However, its cost should remain fair and affordable for as many people as possible.

  • Choosing the right size menstrual cup is crucial for the best experience. Brands offering washable period products often have several sizes. To choose well, consider your menstrual flow type and intensity, but also your anatomy, pelvic floor strength, and personal history (never given birth, vaginal delivery, etc.).

Ultra soft, our cups have a fixed price of €28.90. However, the more menstrual products you add to your cart, the more you save! With five products of your choice, you save €30—the price of a cup or a pair of underwear!

The Louloucup Turquoise

The Turquoise menstrual cup from Louloucup is softer than standard cups. It was designed specifically for sensitive anatomies. It’s a model that’s not too rigid, not too firm, and therefore more flexible, allowing it to adapt more gently to the vagina. This makes it an especially comfortable cup that you won’t even feel once it’s inserted!

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 handle. The Turquoise menstrual cup is especially suited for young women who haven’t given birth and have strong pelvic floor muscles.

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

The Louloucup Rose

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

The Rose menstrual cup is a classic and is especially suitable for active women or sporty young girls. Available in two sizes, this cup is suitable for all flows. Women with medium to heavy flow will prefer the medium size, while those with 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 properly. During and after your period, our users are delighted to find they no longer experience dryness, itching, or irritation.

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