Coloured Cups
I thought I’d do a post about coloured cups, as I know some women are really enticed by colours. There are some great coloured cups on the market – which shows the cup manufacturers are thinking about their customers needs for visual appeal too.
LadyCup – Offers translucent Pink, Blue, Purple, Orange, Yellow and Green
Miacup – Offers an opaque (non-see through) purply-pink as their standard colour cup.
Lunette - Offers translucent blue “Selene”
MeLuna - offers red, pink, blue, green and purple. With the website mentioning glittered and gold and silver options as special editions, and a poll offering options of various colours, including black.
Fleurcup – offers pink, purple, orange and black

A menstrual cup is form of reusable menstrual protection. It is inserted into the vagina to collect menstrual fluids. Once in place it forms a seal, preventing blood flowing out of the vagina by collecting it in its “cup” shaped reservoir. Unlike a tampon which absorbs the blood along with the vagina’s natural secretions, a menstrual cup simply holds the fluids until you remove it – so they do not dry out the vagina and do not hold the TSS risk that tampons do.
They hold around 20-30ml, which is for most women will cope with a full day without emptying, and at most perhaps you would need to empty it a few times a day for a very heavy flow. A menstrual cup will last (with proper care) for around 10 years, perhaps longer, so while the initial outlay is high, it pays for itself with savings pretty quick.
This website aims to give information on all the available reusable cups, and provide the latest news. This is a sister site to www.ecomenses.com
I’m so happy to have come across your site, as it has fantastic information on the cups available. Thank you and well done!

Hi, just wondering if you’ve seen the lastest sale from LadyCup? Might be handy if you wanted to see the different colours. http://community.livejournal.com/menstrual_cups/1513496.html?view=16277528#t16277528
Apparently these cups are from a recent defective batch which have been tearing after a few uses, but they might be good for models, if you are interested.

I love your site too, and I also have a wordpress about menstrual cups. We have the same color layout! haha. I recently got my Lunette sample pack, although they usually don’t give out samples, but they liked my review page… I don’t know if you have the Lunette Selene, but here is my review of all their products, if you are interested:
