Hevea Loop Cup Menstrual Cup - Plant based, Plastic-free, Non-Toxic

Our summary: We LOVE the new Hevea Loop cup! Its softer than a lot of brands and very easy to use. The loop also makes it very easy to take out and hold. The free storage bag that goes with it is also really lovely.

The Hevea Loop Cup is a new and innovative menstrual cup, designed by women for women. It is developed on the basis of various women's experiences and wishes for the ideal menstrual cup.

The cup is made of natural rubber, which is a plant based, plastic free and biodegradable material. Natural rubber is very flexible and soft which makes it comfortable and healthy to use. You avoid dryness and hazardous chemicals in your abdomen. The unique design makes the cup easy to fold and insert and to remove again. The characteristic formed loop stem ensures that you always have a good grip.

The loop cup should be cleaned in hot/ boiling water and must not be cleaned in a microwave or dishwasher.  Before first usage, it is recommended to sterilize in boiling water for a couple of minutes. When not in use, it should be kept in a clean and dry place.

When you buy a LOOP CUP, you’ll find a unique and handmade storage pouch inside the box. Perfect for storing your LOOP CUP on the go or when not in use. Every pouch is produced from upcycled organic cotton/linen and fits up to 3 cups. Handmade by women for women.
