Pink Cup – My thoughts
Basically this is just a pink coloured version of the Lady Cup, so see my thoughts on that here here
While pink isn’t my favourite colour, I think I prefer the pink over the clear cups (and certainly more than the yellow Mooncup (UK) or brown Keeper). Its quite a nice subtle pink, just enough to let you know it’s not clear, without being overpoweringly PINK if that makes sense. It is still completely transparent, so the pink tone to the cup has not affected the ability to see into the holes. To me it makes the cup appear a little less “medical” and a bit more like an accessory. I think it’s fantastic to see a cup brought out in a colour, and hope to see more colours available in the future.
Comes in it’s own pinkcup bag, they seem to be essentially marketing it as a different product (much like Keeper Inc. doesn’t just market the Moon Cup (USA) as a “silicone Keeper”)

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.
