Over the past 70 years, a woman's choice for internal menstrual care has pretty much been limited to tampons. Now there is an alternative that is healthier for our bodies, our environment and our pocketbook — the Lunette menstrual cup. Made in Finland, the Lunette menstrual cup is an easy-to-use, safe, and clean alternative to pads and tampons. Using a Lunette is similar to using a tampon but requires less changing—and less worry.
Made of medical-grade silicone (a non-friendly environment for bacteria) menstrual cups are simply washed and reused. Not to mention, menstrual cups create zero waste. That's nice!
So if you want try a healthier alternative for handling your period that will not limit you or compromise the environment, consider Lunette. If you have any questions please ask us and we’ll get right back to you.

Handsome Young Man Project spreads the word about menstrual cups
the Handsome Young Man Project will be a whole new leg to Sustainable Cycles advocacy. Because men like contests, being told they are handsome and young, talking to women, and also prizes, each enthusiastic man who decides to be part of the project will join the Handsome Young Man Face book group and compete to see who can do the best sustainable menstruation activism by the end of 2011. The project will be based on the honor code. For every woman that he sensitively convinces to switch to using a sustainable option, the handsome young man gets one point. There are also additional points available, with discretion, for getting articles published, putting up flyers, bringing it up at a club meeting, etc, but for the most part, we want to encourage the men to talk to their close friends, sisters, mothers, or girlfriends.
