The Ruby Cup is a comfortable, healthy, reusable, economical and ecological alternative to sanitary pads and tampons. The Ruby Cup is a menstrual cup made from medical grade soft silicone and is free from plastics, latex, toxins and bleaches. It is worn inside the vagina, where it collects your period blood rather than absorbing it as a tampon would. It has 3 times the capacity of a tampon and can be worn up to 8 hours at a time, giving you unparalleled freedom compared with traditional period products.
Women use up to 12,000 disposable menstrual products, in their lifetime. By using a Ruby Cup you easily make a positive contribution to the environment. You can reuse a Ruby Cup for up to ten years and save 10 kilo of plastic from disposable products from ending up in landfills.
This twin pack contains two RubyCups in the same size. This way you always have a spare to keep in your go-bag cup at hand or to share the expenses with a friend. If you would like two cups in two different sizes, choose the Ruby Cup Sister Pack.
The advantages of a Ruby Cup
WALLET-FRIENDLY - Although the initial price is more expensive, the cost of one Ruby Cup is equal to the cost of 5 to 6 months of traditional, disposable period products. A Ruby Cup can last up to 10 years which means saving more than 95% compared to disposable period products.
COMFY - One of the advantages of the menstrual cup is its comfort, it can be used during the entire period, even at night. And if you are going to exercise, nothing happens, swimming, gymnastics, running, CrossFit, the cup will always keep everything in place.
PRACTICAL - The Ruby Cup can be worn for 8 hours. You can take it wherever you want. Going camping or visiting a festival? Or even if you're just planning a night out, you do not have to worry about using Ruby Cup.
ECO-FRIENDLY - Let’s do the math: 25 tampons or menstrual pads each period x 12 months of the year x 10 years of the life of the menstrual cup: 3,000 sanitary pads or tampons that would not go to the trash.
HEALTHY - Ruby Cups are made from 100% medical-grade premium silicone and are blissfully free from plastics, latex, toxins and bleaches. You can care for your body, all while knowing that the product you’re using is completely harmless.
