Lunette - Menstrual Cup

Made in Finland and now available to New Zealand women, the Lunette is an easy-to-use, safe, and clean alternative to pads and tampons. Using a Lunette is similar to using a tampon but requires less changing. Made of medical-grade silicone, a non-friendly environment for bacteria, menstrual cups are simply washed and reused. Not to mention, menstrual cups create zero waste. That's nice!

What are you waiting for? Try a healthier alternative for handling your period that will not limit you or compromise the environment. Go out there and live your life to the fullest - all month every month!

• Easy-to-use and comfortable, needs emptying only 2-4 times a day. Can be used during the night
• The lining of the cup is totally smooth and the tab is flat, so cleaning is extremely easy

• Can be sterilised by placing in boiling water for 2-5 minutes
• Can be used by all women
• Can be used before first sexual intercourse and also with an IUD and contraceptive ring.
• Not to be used during post-natal bleeding due to the vagina being inflamed from childbirth
