Veganuary 2023: how to have a vegan period?
1. The Mooncup® is environmental
Switching to the Mooncup is a simple step to dramatically reduce the waste you produce and your environmental impact. You only need one Mooncup which lasts for years and years. Thanks to Mooncup users worldwide, over 2.6 billion (and counting!) fewer tampons and pads have ended up on our beaches or in landfill since 2002!
2. The Mooncup is vegan and cruelty-free
The Mooncup menstrual cup has been registered by the Vegan Society since 2010. This indicates that the Mooncup contains no animal ingredients and has never been tested on animals. The Vegan Society Trademark holds very strict standards in relation to animal testing. Only manufacturers who have not tested their products or ingredients, or requested their testing, are able to trademark their products.
3. The Mooncup is better for your health
When choosing a menstrual cup, it is important to remember that this is a product that will be worn internally so it’s best to pick a high quality cup. Manufactured in the UK, Mooncup® is the world’s first silicone menstrual cup and is a brand synonymous with quality.
Unlike tampons, which absorb 65% menstrual fluid and 35% your natural moisture, the Mooncup menstrual cup is non-absorbent, so it won’t cause dryness or leave fibres behind. It is latex-free, hypoallergenic, and contains no dyes, perfumes, BPA, phthalates, plastic, bleaches, or toxins.
While a sparkly or luminous pink cup may look pretty in the bathroom cabinet, adding pigments or dyes may compromise the health, ethical and environmental benefits that make menstrual cups so great in the first place!
So, whether your reasons are environmental, ethical or for your own health, Mooncup is the sustainable choice.
